00:00The Central African Republic has shut an artisanal gold mine near the Cameroon border after a deadly landslide on Tuesday.
00:07The mines minister puts the official death toll at 49, including 34 Central Africans, 13 Cameroonians and 2 Chadians.
00:15Several local sources, however, report more than 100 deaths, with many still missing.
00:21Indeed, we left fast and drove all night and arrived in Zamboy around 4 a.m.
00:26Unfortunately, we weren't able to find our brother.
00:29He is still in the ground, despite the fact that he is dead.
00:32We wanted to bring him a drink, but unfortunately we did not find him.
00:36In the end, we are forced to return like that.
00:40Seven people were taken to hospital while rescue operations have been suspended as the unstable pit continues to collapse and
00:46floodwaters rise.
00:48Authorities have bad access to the site while security personnel remain deployed in the area.
00:53The mines closure is also rising wider questions about safety in the country's informal gold sector,
01:00where weak oversight and dangerous working conditions have repeatedly turned mining sites into scenes of deadly tragedy.
