A total of three bodies had been recovered, 33 passengers had been rescued and the “provisional toll is 150 people missing”, his office quoted him as saying in a tweet in French on Tuesday night.
The president was “very saddened” by the disaster, and was “following the situation closely in order to identify and sanction those responsible”,” the tweet added.
