"mine-collapses"

A landslide caused by heavy rain collapsed artisanal coltan mines in eastern Congo, killing more than 200 people. The mines, controlled by M23 rebels, are known for unsafe working conditions and supply a major share of the world’s tantalum.

Two bodies have been retrieved so far and efforts are underway to trace the others, Koderma Superintendent of Police (SP) Ehtesham Waquarib said.
