Following the landslide of a mountain of garbage, 62 people died on Saturday evening in Addis Ababa. The incident happened at the city’s trash dumping area known as Koshe, the government said. The 62 victims include, 32 are female and 14 male, including some children. Koshe, whose name means “dirt” in local slang, was closed last year by city authorities who asked people to move to a new dump site outside Addis Ababa. Meanwhile the community there did not want the landfill, and so the garbage collectors moved back.
