Torrential rains caused a gigantic pile of garbage to become a deadly landslide in Guinea’s capital city of Conakry on Sunday morning, killing at least 30 people as homes were completely buried under the avalanche of refuse.
City sanitation officers said the Dar Es Salam landfill, the largest trash dump in Conakry, was supposed to be shut down on Sunday. Minister of Territorial Administration Djenab Toure announced on Thursday that trash from the unsafe landfill would be relocated to a dump further from the city, which has a population of about two million.
The same site produced a deadly landslide in 2017, killing ten people. Civil engineers had issued evacuation orders for residents of the flimsy shacks constructed around the edge of the landfill, but the orders were widely ignored.
Heavy overnight rains apparently triggered the disaster feared by sanitation engineers, sending three waves of debris cascading down the mountain of garbage. The second wave was the most devastating, according to survivors.
“People tried to come to the rescue. They came running and climbed onto the refuse to see if anyone was there,” said eyewitness Robert Kamao Saa. “That was when the second section collapsed in three successive stages, cascading down. And that is what poured onto the people.”
“I have lost all my children. All I can do is put my trust in God,” said a woman whose five children were buried under the landslide.

Another part of “Idiocracy” has come true...
Camping out, in the rain, in the foothills of a huge mountain of trash.
What in the heck??
Hasn’t happened in the US yet, but it probably will. I’m guessing Minnesota.
I think the people lived there and picked trash for survival. There was such a slide years ago that killed 250. The people in those huts never leave the area. They eat the garbage, and pick through for clothing and such.
Some are alarmed that people live in shacks by a dump.
Ever been to LA? Or Seattle? Or NYC? Or any other dumpocrat run city? Dumps follow these people around like a black cloud while we pay for it with tax money.
Either that or Philadelphia.
“Time Mooshen” did Survive.
....and how many of those ignorant a holes, from those shithole countries have made their home here?
Never noticed the high ground huh.
I was expecting the headline to be about Los Angeles.
Also my first thought but you got there first.
Isn’t the organization Clean Harbors set up for dealing with at least some of this problem? In a place like Guinea, I don’t suppose they ever heard of this though.
Will happen in the U.S. as we increasingly become more like the 3rd world.
Idiocracy looks more prescient every day
Isn’t the organization Clean Harbors set up for dealing with at least some of this problem?
So they say but you know how that works or doesn’t I should say.
