In the Democratic Republic of the Congo, more than 100 gold miners lost their lives on Tuesday after a gold mine collapsed in a village near the border between Cameroon and the Central African Republic, according to local authorities and media. The Eastern Region Governor of Cameroon, Gregoire Mvongo, reported that the incident occurred around 2 in the afternoon at Zamboye village, which is situated on the CAR side of the border.
The mine collapse affected approximately three to five Cameroonians. The Cameroon government's media, CRTV, reported that at least 100 people were victims of the tragedy. Some other local media outlets claimed that 107 bodies were extracted from the collapse. A nearby resident, Oriegene Dokna, described the tragedy as shocking for the local community.
Families have been mourning since yesterday. It is a situation that is hard to accept, said Dokna to Xinhua. Local authorities said that rescue teams are still working to save miners believed to be trapped under the rubble.
