Dozens missing after huge landslide at decades-old landfill site near the capital buries squatters' makeshift homes. At least 46 people have been killed and dozens are missing after a landslide struck at a massive garbage dump on the outskirts of Ethiopia's capital. The landslide late on Saturday levelled more than 30 makeshift homes of squatters living inside the Koshe landfill on the outskirts of Addis Ababa, said Dagmawit Moges, head of the city's communications bureau. The resumption of garbage dumping at the site in recent months likely caused the landslide, Assefa said.
