YAOUNDE (Reuters) – A landslide in Cameroon’s capital Yaounde on Sunday killed at least 14 people attending a funeral ceremony, regional governor Naseri Paul Bea told reporters at the scene.

Several dozen people were taking part in the ceremony on a football pitch at the foot of a 20-meter-high embankment when it collapsed, witnesses told Reuters.
