Au moins cinq personnes sont mortes et plusieurs autres sont port\u00e9es disparues apr\u00e8s le chavirement, mardi, d’un canot rapide entre Brazzaville et Kinshasa sur le fleuve Congo, ont rapport\u00e9 mercredi les autorit\u00e9s locales.
L’embarcation, qui transportait 16 passagers, avait quitt\u00e9 Brazzaville en direction de Kinshasa, situ\u00e9e juste en face, de l’autre c\u00f4t\u00e9 du fleuve. Le bilan provisoire fait \u00e9tat de cinq morts, a indiqu\u00e9 le directeur commercial de l’Office national des transports (ONATRA), Armand Osase, pr\u00e9cisant que l’accident s’est produit apr\u00e8s que l’embarquement a percut\u00e9 une grume flottante, endommageant gravement son moteur.
Cet accident survient quelques jours apr\u00e8s un autre drame sur le fleuve Congo. Il s’agit de l’explosion d’une baleini\u00e8re baptis\u00e9e \u00ab\u00a0HB Kokolo\u00a0\u00bb ayant provoqu\u00e9 plusieurs d\u00e9c\u00e8s pr\u00e8s de la localit\u00e9 de Nganda Kinshasa.
Avec ses 4700 kms de long, le fleuve Congo est le deuxi\u00e8me plus long d’Afrique apr\u00e8s le Nil, et le deuxi\u00e8me au monde en termes de d\u00e9bit, apr\u00e8s l’Amazone. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
