[AFP] At least 30 people have been killed after a towering heap of rubbish collapsed at the largest landfill in Guinea’s capital, Conakry, following heavy overnight rains, authorities said. The landslide struck shortly after 2am (02:00 GMT) on Sunday at the Dar es Salam open-air dump, sending a mountain of waste crashing onto nearby shacks. Rescue workers dug through debris to reach survivors as six critically injured people were taken to hospital and several homes were reported destroyed.
