Fifteen at the event, in the Cameroonian capital Yaounde on Sunday, were killed by the landslide as they were celebrating the lives of a group of deceased loved ones with drums, dancing and beers. The celebration was taking place on a football pitch bordered by a steep earth embankment. Yaounde is one of the wettest cities in Africa, though it did not rain there on Sunday. Cameroon has been hit by severe flooding in several regions this year, as has its neighbour Nigeria.
