At least 100 people have died in a landslide at an illegal gold mine in the Central African Republic, near the border with Cameroon. The incident is the most recent in a series of deadly accidents plaguing the nation’s unregulated mining sector. Authorities report the mine collapsed, trapping and killing the miners who were working at the site. The gold mine was operating illegally, highlighting the dangers faced by those involved in unregulated resource extraction. The Central African Republic is rich in minerals, but often lacks the oversight to ensure safe mining practices. This disaster underscores the urgent need for improved regulation and safety measures within the country’s mining industry. Further recovery efforts are underway to locate any potential survivors.
