A landslide at a major rubbish landfill in Guinea's capital, Conakry, has killed at least 30 people and injured 22 others, including six seriously. The collapse occurred in the city's Dar-es-Salam area when a mound of waste gave way and buried nearby homes.
In the days leading up to the disaster, the government had issued eviction orders to local residents living near the landfill out of fear of a potential collapse. Following the incident, authorities deployed significant resources and personnel, including the military, to the scene for rescue and recovery operations.
