Central Africa gold mine landslide kills dozens
Dozens of people were killed due to a landslide at a small-scale gold mine in Zamboé, near the Cameroon border in Central Africa, on Tuesday. Reports indicate that at least 40 to 100 workers lost their lives. The incident occurred in an illegal mine lacking proper oversight, and landslides have been frequent in the area due to many individuals exploiting natural resource wealth without regulation. This follows a similar collapse in June that resulted in dozens of deaths at a mine in B-Pmbari along the same border, highlighting the recurrent nature of these accidents and the worsening working conditions in informal mining operations.
