Boat capsizes in Congo, 20 dead

A boat carrying people, including a newly ordained Catholic deacon, capsized on a lake in northwestern Congo.

At least 20 people died, and many are still missing.

The boat was traveling from a town called Kiri to the capital, Kinshasa, when it tipped over between two villages.

The government is still figuring out the exact number of people who died or survived.

Boats capsizing is happening more often in Congo because many people are using old, wooden boats that are too full.

These boats often travel at night, making it hard to rescue people.

Earlier this month, another boat capsized, and 64 people are still missing.

In September, two separate boat accidents killed at least 193 people.

The governor said heavy winds caused the boat to capsize, while local residents blame overloading and night navigation.
