A train crash in the Southeastern Democratic Republic of Congo has been reported to have killed 60, several others left injured in Lualaba.

A freight train which was moving from Luen destined for the mining town of Tenke, close to Kolwezi the capital of Lualaba province in Southern DRC, carried many stowaways.

It is reported that due to lack of passenger trains and passable roads, people use goods’ trains to travel long distances – which possibly explains why a freight train was carrying stowaways.
