The irregular farm is near the border with Cameroon. Local authorities have warned that the number of casualties will increase due to limited resources for rescue work.
Another tragedy involving artisanal mininghasclaimed the lives of at least 107 people in the Central African Republic, very close to the border with Cameroon.
Local authorities and witnesses have reported that the accident occurred around 10 a.m. local time (11 a.m. in the Basque Country), when several underground tunnels collapsed, causing workers to be trapped between rocks and mud.
Rescues are being coordinated from nearby towns such as Garoua-Boulai (Cameroon) and Baboua (Central African Republic), however, local miners report a huge lack of technical means to remove the accumulated land.
Following the current increase in irregular mining along the border between Cameroon and the Central African Republic, which attracts thousands of unemployed young people every day, dozens of miners lose their lives each year in the region as a result of similar landslides or chemical contamination of waters, Central African Government spokesman Evariste Ngamana has called for solidarity and ensured that they will work tirelessly to help those affected.
