(Security): A Plane crash Kills 9 in War Torn Sudan

According to Sudanese army, nine people, including four soldiers, were killed Sunday, July 23, 2023, evening when a civilian plane crashed in Sudan due to “technical” reasons, as the war in the east African country entered its 100th day.

In Port Sudan, on the east coast largely spared by the war, the army said a child had survived the crash of an Antonov plane which killed nine others. Port Sudan airport is the only one still working in the country due to the conflict.

Since April 15, battles between the army led by Abdel Fattah Al-Burhan and the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF), headed by Mohamed Hamdan Daglo, have killed more than 3,900 people, according to the latest toll from the Armed Conflict Location & Event Data Project (ACLED).
