Ugandan police: 19 people suspected to be Congolese refugees die in
Lake Albert boat accident

BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS MARCH 22, 2014

KAMPALA, Uganda - Ugandan police say at least 19 people, most of them
children, died in a boat accident on Lake Albert, which lies along the
Uganda-Congo border.

Lydia Tumushabe, a spokeswoman for police in Uganda's Albertine
region, said the boat was carrying 96 suspected Congolese refugees
when it capsized on Saturday. She said 16 of the dead were children
and that 45 people had been rescued.

Boat accidents are common on Ugandan lakes, as transport providers
take advantage of lax policing to load their boats with more
passengers than they can safely carry. In the latest case, according
to police, the boat capsized because it was "overloaded" with
passengers.
