The Central African Republic government closed the Zamboye gold mining site after it collapsed earlier this week, resulting in more than 100 deaths. Minister Ruffin Benam Beltoungou announced the closure, citing "non-compliance with mining standards and non-compliance with administrative directives." The collapse was described as the latest disaster, highlighting systemic issues like weak regulations and illegal mining activity.
