Among the victims of the aviation accident is Major General Bar Ahmed, who previously held important positions in the Sudanese army.

The preliminary cause of the crash may be a technical malfunction.

Since April 2023, Sudan has been experiencing a war between the army and the Rapid Support Forces. According to the UN and local authorities, over 20,000 people have died as a result of the conflict, and 14 million have become refugees and internally displaced persons.
