In Cameroon, more than 100 miners lost their lives on Tuesday after a gold mine collapsed in a village near the border with the Central African Republic (CAR), according to local authorities and media, Xinhua reported. The acting governor of Cameroon's East Region, Gregoire Mvongo, said the disaster occurred around 2 in the afternoon local time in Zamboye village, which is a border village but the mine collapsed on the CAR side.
Approximately three to five Cameroonians were reported dead. The Cameroon government's media, CRTV, reported the death toll exceeding 100. Some other local media outlets reported 107 bodies being retrieved from the collapse. Oriegene Dokna, a resident near the incident site, described the tragedy as shocking the local community.
Families have been mourning since yesterday. This situation is hard to accept, Dokna told Xinhua. Local authorities said rescue teams are still working to save miners believed to be trapped underground.
