Landslide at Illegal Gold Mine in Angola's Bengo Province Kills 28

A landslide at an illegal gold mining site in Angola's northwestern Bengo Province has resulted in the deaths of at least 28 people, according to local government reports. According to Jin10, the provincial civil defense and fire department released a statement on Sunday confirming that four individuals were rescued from the site, and search and rescue operations have now concluded. In Angola, illegal mining activities have traditionally been concentrated in the diamond industry. However, with the country's push for a diversified mining strategy, artisanal mining activities targeting gold and other metals are experiencing significant growth.
