Freetown (AFP) - The death toll from a mudslide and flooding that struck Sierra Leone's capital Freetown has reached 441, the government said on Saturday.
"Four hundred and forty-one corpses (were) buried as at yesterday," the deputy minister of information and communication, Cornelius Deveaux, told AFP, adding that the number of missing was "still being calculated."
A tally of deaths, issued on Friday by the Red Cross, stood at more than 400, with around 600 others listed as missing.
Flooding is an annual menace in Sierra Leone, where ramshackle homes are regularly swept away by seasonal rains. In 2015, floods killed 10 people and left thousands homeless.

Probably the first bath any of them ever had. You'd think that for all these thousands of years, niggers would stop building flimsy homes where they're easily washed away.
