> At least 30 people died after heavy overnight rain caused a large mound of rubbish to collapse at the Dar Es Salam landfill in Conakry, burying nearby homes before dawn. Six others were seriously injured, while workers searched for more victims. Authorities had ordered nearby informal residents to leave, and the site was scheduled to close.
