Sudan boat capsizes on Nile, at least 21 dead
At least 21 people died on Wednesday evening when a boat capsized on the Nile River in northern Sudan, local authorities reported on Thursday.
The State of the Nile confirmed that 21 bodies had been recovered, though the cause of the accident remains unclear. According to witnesses, the vessel was carrying around 30 passengers as it crossed the river north of Khartoum, the Sudanese capital.
Rescue teams continue to search for any missing passengers, while authorities have launched an investigation into the circumstances of the sinking. The incident highlights ongoing safety concerns over river transport in the region, which remains a vital route for local communities but has been prone to accidents in the past.
Officials have urged travelers to exercise caution when using boats along the Nile and to follow safety regulations to prevent similar tragedies.
