A deadly landslide at an artisanal gold mine in Zamboye, Cameroon, has claimed the lives of over one hundred people, prompting an outpouring of grief and calls for improved safety regulations. Serge Espoir Matomba, First Secretary of the United People for Social Renovation, expressed his condolences to the victims’ families and the Garoua-Boulaï community. He highlighted the dangerous conditions faced by many Cameroonian miners working in unregulated artisanal mines, stating no one should risk their life for sustenance. Matomba urged for stricter safety oversight, accountability, and concrete measures to prevent future tragedies. He emphasized that Cameroon’s natural resources should foster development and hope, not be sources of death. Rescue operations continue for those still missing, as the nation mourns this devastating loss.
