Nine dead, many missing after Congo boat accident | Reuters.
At least nine people died and many more were feared dead after an overloaded boat capsized on a remote stretch of river in Congo, a local official said on Tuesday.
Accidents are frequent in Congo, where lack of roads and other infrascructure leaves people with little choice but to ply a network of rivers on poorly maintained and overloaded boats.
