Fifteen dead bodies were recovered after a diamond mine in Tshikapa, Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) caved in at the beginning of January, officials said. The rescue effort was later called off.%%Three people were saved from the cave-in, but rescuers gave up hope after two days, said Tshikapa Mayor Mwamba Mutombo. He said the victims were apparently local teenagers who hoped to find diamonds washed loose by recent rains. The mine has suspended operations, and two managers have been arrested.%%Cave-ins during rainy season are just one of many problems facing Congo-Kinshasa’s diamond mining industry, which has been devastated by the country’s civil war of the late 1990s and ravaged by plagues.
