4 days agoUN aid worker killed in DR Congo's rebel-held Goma
A French UNICEF aid worker was killed in Goma after M23 rebels reported a combat drone strike hit a residential building in the eastern Congolese city.
A former miner at the site told The Associated Press there have been repeated landslides because the tunnels are dug by hand, poorly constructed, and left without maintenance. "People dig everywhere, without control or safety measures. In a single pit, there can be as many as 500 miners, and because the tunnels run parallel, one collapse can affect many pits at once," Clovis Mafare said.
