Story summary

A landslide at a waste dump in Guinea's capital city, Conakry, killed 30 people and injured 22 others after heavy rains overnight caused it to collapse. The incident occurred on Sunday morning around 2am, engulfing nearby tents and shacks. The government announced plans to close the site last week due to the threat it posed during the rainy season, which causes landslides and flash floods in crowded cities across West Africa. Rescue workers used excavators and other tools to clear the site, while the Guinean Prime Minister Amadou Oury Bah visited the scene to assess the situation. The landslide was large enough to bury an apartment building, according to witnesses. A woman named Cire Diallo lost five children in the disaster, and many others were left injured or displaced.

Why this leaning score

This article does not take a side on a contested political question, so it has no leaning score. That is an answer rather than a gap: a match report or a rescue can be warmly or critically written without being left or right, and scoring it anyway is how approval of a subject gets recorded as a political position.
