AFP – Iran’s supreme leader said Saudi Arabia is responsible for Thursday’s stampede during the annual hajj in which 90 Iranians were among more than 700 Muslim pilgrims killed. Laying the blame for the deaths on “improper measures” and “mismanagement,” Ayatollah Ali Khamenei announced three days of mourning. “The government of Saudi Arabia must accept the huge responsibility for this catastrophe,” state news agency IRNA quoted Khamenei as saying, demanding that the causes of the accident “should not be overlooked”. On Wednesday, Khamenei had said Saudi Arabia bore a duty to protect all pilgrims. His remarks after the tragedy followed those of other Iranian officials who criticised the kingdom for failing to safeguard the ceremonies. Deputy Foreign Minister Hossein Amir Abdollahian said earlier that Saudi’s envoy to Tehran would be summoned to the foreign ministry over the stampede. The head of Iran’s hajj organisation, Said Ohadi, said bad decisions had le...

Ibe Kachikwu, group managing director (GMD) of the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC), on Friday said President Muhammadu Buhari advised against selling of the nation’s refineries. Addressing journalists in Lagos, Kachikwu said the refineries were currently working at 30 per cent capacity as against the minimum of 60 per cent required to generate profit. “Personally, I will have chosen to sell the refineries, but President Buhari has instructed that they should be fixed,” he said. “After they are fixed, if they still operate below 60 per cent, then we will know what to do. “The 90-day ultimatum for the refineries to be fixed will end in December and Port Harcourt Refinery looks like the only one that will meet the deadline, but we will wait and see what happens at the end of the 90 days.” He said the corporation will embark on a transparency operation to regain its lost credibility, saying the first step in that regard would be an audit of the corp...

There was gloom on the faces of many pilgrims who are currently performing this year’s hajj in Saudi Arabia as a stampede while stoning the devil at Jamrat led to the death of 717 pilgrims and counting. About 805 others also sustained injuries during the stampede on the way to the Jamrat complex (stoning site). Although, it may take some days before the final figures are known, the Saudi Civil Defence Corps confirmed the figures and said the exact cause of the accident could not be determined easily. Many of the injured were in semi-conscious state due to harsh the weather, which added to the problem.

Most of the injured were taken to Mina Emergency Hospital while others were rushed to hospitals in Makkah. The Jamrat area, where pilgrims perform the symbolic stoning of the devil ritual, had witn...
