Many carried national flags, portraits of the late leader, and wore T-shirts printed with his image to pay their final respects. Foreign leaders and regional heads of state were in attendance.

During the public-viewing ceremony of the body, a large crowd surge led to multiple injuries and two deaths, according to Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF).
