KHARTOUM: An overlade ship crammed with thousands of sheep sank on Sunday in Sudan’s Red Sea port of Suakin drowning the animals on board but with all crew surviving, port officials said. The livestock vessel was exporting the animals from Sudan to Saudi Ara-bia when it sank after several thousand more animals were loaded on board than it was meant to carry.
“The ship, Badr 1, sank during the early hours of Sunday morning,” a sen-ior Sudanese port official said, speaking on condition of anonymity. –Agencies
