What happened
At least 30 people were killed early Sunday when a mound of refuse collapsed at the Dar-es-Salam landfill in Conakry, Guinea, burying nearby homes and shacks. The government said 22 others were injured, including six seriously, after heavy rains destabilized the largest waste site in the capital. Authorities deployed civil protection teams and military personnel to search for survivors and recover bodies. The collapse came less than a week after officials announced plans to close the site and relocate waste because of rainy-season landslide risks.
