Landfill Collapse in Conakry Kills 30 | Hattiesburg News

A deadly landslide at Conakry’s Dar Es Salam landfill—scheduled to close that same day—buried makeshift homes in the early hours of August 23, killing 30 people. Heavy rains triggered the collapse, trapping residents who hadn’t yet evacuated despite eviction notices.

The government vows to relocate survivors, but the disaster underscores a deepening divide between national wealth and human suffering.
