Illegal, shoddily built artisanal mines in the Central African Republic are a death trap, and Tuesday's collapse at the Zamboye site — which may have killed over 100 people — proves it. Underground tunnels with zero safety standards caved in on workers who had no protective equipment and no government oversight. Dozens of these deadly collapses have already happened this year alone, and the pattern is inexcusable.

Illegal, shoddily built artisanal mines in the Central African Republic are a death trap, and Tuesday's collapse at the Zamboye site — which may have killed over 100 people — proves it. Underground tunnels with zero safety standards caved in on workers who had no protective equipment and no government oversight. Dozens of these deadly collapses have already happened this year alone, and the pattern is inexcusable.

The Zamboye disaster isn't isolated — it's part of a brutal, repeating cycle across the region, with collapses killing miners in March, May and June before this tragedy struck. The CAR government is seeking foreign mining investment while thousands of unprotected workers die in hand-dug pits outside government control. Prioritizing economic development without fixing the deadly conditions in artisanal mining is a dangerous contradiction.

The Zamboye disaster is horrific, but the government is confronting a mining sector that has long operated largely beyond state control. CAR has sought foreign investment to formalize mining, improve oversight and strengthen safety. Repeated deadly collapses underscore the urgency of that effort rather than proving investment is the problem. Greater government control could ultimately protect workers better than dangerous, unregulated pits.
