Search operations continue following a deadly landslide at a gold mine in the Central African Republic, according to a France 24 report. The disaster has killed dozens of people, including nationals from Cameroon and Chad. The exact location of the mine has not been disclosed in the report, and the number of victims is given as 'dozens.'
The story was featured in the latest edition of the 'Eye on Africa' programme. It highlights the cross-border nature of the workforce, as victims came from neighbouring countries. Further details about the incident were not provided in the broadcast.
In another segment, the programme covered Ethiopia's efforts to become East Africa's next wine destination. The country is turning to Bordeaux expertise and planting grapevines as part of this initiative.
The broadcast also discussed Belgium's continuing confrontation with its colonial past. More than a century after Congolese people were displayed at the 1894 Antwerp World's Fair, the issue remains relevant. The segment suggested that Belgium is still grappling with this history.
Overall, the programme spanned a variety of topics, from an immediate humanitarian emergency to regional economic development and historical reflection.
