Watch: Mali Gold Mine Collapse Kills 48 As Authorities Struggle To Control Illegal Mining

At least 48 people died in a tragic gold mine collapse in western Mali, officials confirmed. The accident occurred at an abandoned site formerly operated by a Chinese company. Authorities continue searching for victims, with reports of some falling into water, including a mother carrying her baby. Mali, a top African gold producer, frequently faces fatal mining accidents due to unregulated operations. The collapse follows a similar disaster last year, which claimed over 70 lives. Officials struggle to curb illegal mining despite its dangers to workers and local communities. #Mali #GoldMine #MiningAccident #BreakingNews #GoldMining #IllegalMining #MineCollapse #AfricaNews #RescueEfforts #MiningDisaster #MaliGold #MiningIndustry #TragicAccident #DeadlyCollapse #GoldProduction #HumanTragedy #MiningHazards #WestAfrica #SafetyConcerns #UnregulatedMining~HT.318~ED.346~GR.122~
