Part 7/9:
The term "unofficial match" has emerged in discussions about accountability following the tragedy. FIFA, as well as continental governing bodies like the Confederation of African Football (CAF), have condemned the use of tear gas in stadiums and have classified this event as unofficial. This designation raises concerns regarding the limitations of any subsequent investigations.
Local human rights organizations emphasize the need for a transparent investigation to ascertain the true extent of the tragedy and to address the discrepancies between government-confirmed fatalities and those reported by activists.
