The Congo River is a big river that runs through a country in Africa called the Democratic Republic of the Congo. People use the river to travel and transport goods from one place to another.
In April 2021, a tragic accident happened on the Congo River. A big boat carrying lots of people and goods capsized, which means it turned upside down and sank into the water. Sadly, many people on the boat were not wearing life jackets and drowned in the water.
This accident is called a "disaster," which means something very bad happened that affected many people. Lots of families were hurt by this disaster because their loved ones died or were injured.
It's important for us to remember this tragedy and try to learn how we can prevent accidents like this from happening again in the future.
