Addis Ababa: City Officials Relocating Residents from Dump Site AreaMarch 13, 2017 - Relocating Addis Ababa residents around the Koshe rubbish dump, where a rubbish landslide killed dozens, has started, City Mayor Diriba Kuma said, according to FNA. Relocating residents who are in the vicinity of the landfill is being carried out as part of efforts to minimize vulnerability of residents, Diriba said. "We have been relocating residents feared to be vulnerable to similar incidents to other areas the whole day." Sixty two people, most of them are women and children, have been killed in Saturday night's landslide at the rubbish dump. The Koshe landfill has been a dumping ground for the capital's rubbish for more than 50 years.
