Landslide at Guinea's Capital Landfill Kills 30, Injures Six Amid Heavy Rains
A landslide at Conakry's largest landfill in Guinea killed 30 people and injured six after heavy rains triggered the collapse early Sunday. The waste mound buried nearby homes, prompting ongoing search and rescue efforts. Authorities had issued eviction notices ahead of the landfill's planned closure, but many residents remained. The government pledged to relocate affected families and provide medical care. The disaster highlights challenges in urban safety and waste management amid Guinea's significant poverty levels despite its mineral wealth.
