Landslide at Guinea Landfill Kills 30, Injures Dozens Amid Rescue Efforts
A landslide at the Dar-es-Salam landfill in Conakry, Guinea, triggered by heavy rains early Sunday, killed 30 people and injured at least 22 others. The collapse buried nearby homes and shelters, prompting ongoing rescue efforts using excavators and manual digging. Authorities had planned to close the landfill due to safety concerns, and residents had received eviction notices. The disaster has raised concerns about urban safety and waste management amid Guinea's widespread poverty and limited infrastructure.
