The Mina Protocol
In 2015, revised crowd-flow measures at Mina — including staggered departure times from the tent encampments and a redesigned multi-level approach to the Jamarat Bridge — prevented the crush that had been building during the stoning-of-the-devil ritual on the Days of Tashriq. The absence of mass casualties altered the diplomatic and administrative handling of the Hajj for the following decade, drawing pilgrim-sending states into permanent, formal cooperation on crowd safety rather than after-the-fact inquiries.
