A landslide at a landfill in the capital of Guinea kills 30 people, officials say

A massive pile of refuse at Conakry’s Dar Es Salam landfill collapsed after heavy overnight rains, killing about 30 people, injuring others and burying nearby shacks while search-and-rescue operations continued.
Authorities say the open-air dump was due to close and many locals had eviction notices; officials promised to relocate the remaining families.
The disaster underlines Guinea’s contrast between vast mineral wealth (bauxite, iron, gold, diamonds) and widespread poverty, with a large share of the population living below the national poverty line.
