Officials and residents say 15 people have been killed in a landslide at a massive garbage dump on the outskirts of Ethiopia's capital, and several dozen people are missing. Addis Ababa Mayor Diriba Kuma says 15 bodies have been recovered since the landslide Saturday night at the Koshe Garbage Landfill buried several makeshift homes and concrete buildings. About 150 people were at the site when the landslide occurred, resident Assefa Teklemahimanot told The Associated Press. The resumption of garbage dumping at the site in recent months likely caused the landslide, Assefa said. Smaller landslides have occurred at the Koshe landfill in the past two years but only two or three people were killed, Assefa said.
