Boat sinks on Mali river, 20 dead

AT least 20 people are dead after a boat carrying hundreds of passengers capsized on the Niger River in central Mali.

Dozens more are missing.

Konna Mayor Sory Diakite told The Associated Press on Saturday 20 bodies had been recovered by midday.

Diakkite said it was believed at least 400 passengers had been on board and about 200 survivors had been accounted for.

It was not immediately possible to contact survivors, although one man in Bamako said he had been notified that two of his relatives had drowned.

The boat was travelling along the river from Mopti to the northern town of Timbuktu when it capsized late on Friday about seven kilometres from Konna.
