Rescuers dug through sludge and rock on Monday in their search for dozens of miners trapped for three days in northern Tanzania, police said, as hopes dwindled of finding any survivors. Rescue teams retrieved a seventh body and were struggling to reach others traced underground in flooded mines in a tanzanite concession in Mirerani.
Rescuers searched for dozens of miners trapped by floods in a pit in northern Tanzania on Monday with little hope of finding survivors from the mining disaster. Only six bodies have been recovered from the tanzanite concession in Mirerani, near the base of Mount Kilimanjaro, since the accident occurred early on Saturday.
Survivors of Rwanda’s 1994 genocide and relatives of those jailed for their alleged role in the massacres hope that this week’s revival of traditional village courts will help ease the pain.
