Landslide at landfill in the capital of Guinea kills 30 people, officials say

CONAKRY, Guinea (AP) — A mountainous heap of refuse collapsed at the largest landfill in Guinea’s capital of Conakry early on Sunday, killing 30 people, according to the central government. Authorities said that heavy rains, which started at around 2:00 a.m., washed over the refuse at Dar Es Salam — the largest landfill in Conakry — and triggered a landslide that buried nearby shacks. A search and rescue operation was underway to find survivors. Six people were seriously injured, and several homes were destroyed.
