Landslide at waste dump in Guinea kills 30
A catastrophic landslide at a major waste dump in Conakry, Guinea's capital, killed 30 people after heavy overnight rains caused the mound to collapse and bury nearby tents and shacks. The disaster occurred just days after the government had announced plans to close and relocate the site due to safety concerns during the rainy season. This tragedy highlights the ongoing risks posed by poorly managed waste facilities in densely populated West African cities vulnerable to seasonal flooding and landslides.
