Landslide at Guinea's Capital Landfill Kills 30, Injures Several
A landslide at Conakry's largest landfill in Guinea, triggered by heavy rains early Sunday, killed 30 people and injured six. The collapse buried nearby shacks and destroyed several homes. The landfill, an open-air waste dump called Dar Es Salam, was scheduled for closure that day. Authorities had issued eviction notices to residents, but many remained at the site. Officials pledged to relocate affected families. Guinea faces widespread poverty despite its rich mineral resources.
