Over 130 killed in DRC boat accident

138 PEOPLE HAVE died after an overloaded boat capsized in the Democratic Republic of Congo, Reuters reports. The accident occurred during bad weather some 300km from Kinshasa. River and air transport are often the only options for Congolese travellers due to the poor condition of the country’s rail and road network.
