Over 100 miners killed after an artisanal gold mine collapses in the Central African Republic. The mine was located in the village of Zamboye, in the CAR's Nana-Mambéré prefecture. The site was near the town of Baboua. At least 4 citizens of Cameroon were among the miners who lost their lives. This is the latest in a string of mining disasters in Western CAR. Firstpost explains how it happened, and why artisanal mining still attracts so many men and women despite the risks.
