A landslide at an artisanal goldmine in the Central African Republic’s Zamboye village has resulted in the deaths of over 100 people, with officials fearing the toll will increase as rescue operations proceed. The collapse occurred on Tuesday afternoon, approximately 50km from Baboua and near the Cameroonian border. Social media footage depicts a significant avalanche of sand engulfing miners working at the site. Local authorities and aid workers are currently coordinating recovery efforts in the remote region. The mine was an informal operation, typical of artisanal gold mining in the area. This disaster highlights the dangers inherent in unregulated mining practices and the challenges of rescue operations in geographically isolated locations. Further updates are expected as the search continues.
