Chéché or Ché Ché is a village in the Gabú Region of northeastern Guinea-Bissau. It lies on the south of the Corubal River, to the south of Canjadude.[1][2] The river crossing was the site of the Cheche Disaster of 6 February 1969, in which about 50 Portuguese soldiers drowned in an accident when their ferry tipped over.[3]
