> A landslide at a large waste dump in Conakry’s Gbessia commune killed 30 people after overnight heavy rain, Guinea’s government said. Six people were seriously injured and 16 suffered minor injuries. Rescue crews are clearing the site, less than a week after authorities announced plans to close and relocate the unsafe landfill.
