Ethiopian landslide kills 46, dozens more missing


A massive landslide at garbage dump outside Addis Ababa kills at least 46 people, many others are missing. Forty-six people were killed in a landslide at a massive garbage dump on the outskirts of Addis Ababa, the capital of Ethiopia. Thirty-seven were injured and several dozen people are missing, according to reports by officials and residents Sunday. The resumption of garbage dumping at the site in recent months likely caused the landslide, according to local reports. Smaller landslides have occurred at the Koshe landfill in the past two years but only two or three people were killed, a local resident said.
