Afghan Landslide Buries Hundreds

–

The Afghan government has declared a day of national mourning for hundreds of people killed when a mudslide engulfed their village on Friday.

Badakhshan provincial governor Shah Waliullah Adib told the BBC there was now no hope for more than 2,000 people believed buried in their homes.

Officials formally ended the search for survivors on Saturday.

This unfortunate country has been at war for 35 years. Then Mother Nature lays a big hit on it.

People living in mud huts. The world is vast and varied. No trees to be seen anywhere, perfect for mass erosion when heavy rains occur.  Giant mountains in the background. Amazing.
