JUBA – The South Sudan Civil Aviation Authority has suspended all Ukrainian Antonov cargo planes from operating in the country and has ordered their owners to fly them out of the country within a week, a senior official said Wednesday.
The official cited an investigation into a crash earlier this month of an Antonov plane which occurred shortly after takeoff from Juba International Airport in the capital, killing all five crew members.
“As part of the report and recommendation tabled to the office of the chief executive officer by the safety oversight committee, the committee recommended suspension and revocation of AOP of South Sudan of AN-26, AN-24, AN-28, AN-30, Hawkers HS-748 and Let-410UVP,” Capt. Subek Dada David, the chief executive officer of the South Sudan Civil Aviation Authority, said in a letter seen by Anadolu Agency.
“The identified aircraft are ordered to leave South Sudan to their State of Registry within one week as from the date of submission of this report,” the letter added.
It also warned the South Sudan Air Force to change two AN-26 planes it owns flying with a foreign civil registration to a military registration or else face a ban by the aviation authority.
UN-operated Antonovs are exempted.
On Nov. 2, an Antonov aircraft crashed on Gondokoro Island shortly after takeoff from Juba International Airport, killing all five crew members.
A manifest seen by Anadolu Agency shows that the aircraft AN26- flight TR-NGT– belonging to Euro Airlines – was carrying 28 drums of fuel to Maban County, Upper Nile State.
In November 2015, a similar plane crash left 37 people dead.
Minister of Information and Broadcasting Michael Makuei Lueth revealed last week that a seven-member ad hoc committee had been set up to investigate the latest crash.
“The minister of transport has already formed a committee to investigate the issue and he has been authorized to follow up the implementation,” Makuei told journalists in Juba after a weekly Cabinet meeting.
Makuei also said that the Cabinet had directed the Minister of Transport Madut Biar to screen all airline operators in efforts to mitigate the recurrence of plane accidents in the country.
“At the same time, he should make sure that all the planes that are operational in South Sudan are properly checked,” said Makuei.
“Some of these planes are actually not allowed to fly all over the world except in South Sudan, and this is very dangerous,” he added.

For all I care, I don’t problem, using Antonov here in South Sudan, so long as they properly maintains and services. All I don’t want and will be shoot down, is anything that is connected, t North Sudan, the US, the UK, their evil juus (so-called ) attack dogs, their gulf Arab states’ terror exporters, Abeshas prostitutes and their Kenya lapdogs ever ever again crossed into airspace without authorization by us. Reasons pure HATRED and RACISM. Some have been using our country and our people, as their play thing. They have accustomed it that South Sudan and South Sudanese must always be counted as their ‘ally or slaves’ Good luck to them.
Didn’t I posted a number of times, South Sudan can walk over Kenya in a matter of a day or two and pee. Kenya is not our equal.
We have taken back our Gambella region, Mr. Abiye Ahmed and their criminals Tigray. Are playing with fire. They always attach themselves to South Sudan and the South Sudanese people. There are some lowly informed politician including Mr. Salva Kiir who let his own daughter be fucked by Abesh (so-called ethiopian) prostitute ‘house worker fucked his daughter’, she is now broke up with him. Abesh (so-called ethiopian) were the ones who supported 15/12/2013 foiled here in South Sudan, they have built the hotels, bars and brothels over South Sudan and South Sudanese people, Kenyans have done the same thing—-they don’t resources their damned countries. But always lean over the backs of other countries and their people.
Abiy Ahmed with Eritrean President were brought here to South Sudan and came lectured us about their so-called *REGIONAL INTEGRATION*, a piece of rubbish that was ‘proposed earlier by a lowly educated and a piece trash, Mr. Paul Kagame of Rwanda’ “African unity and regional integration” There is another pierce trash, former president of Africa, Mr, Thabo Mbeki, he was South Sudan independence, he was hired by our enemies European and secret socialites to come and convince us, that we ‘should live side by side with Arabs, Abeshas (so-called ethiopians) prostitutes, Bantuses, evil juus (so-called israelis), white Americans, white English people, Dutch people, their Indians, Pakistanis, Nepalese, Bangladeshis, Sri Lankans slaves, just like they have in South Africa where Bantuses are consogned to Soweto and Bantuses and their masters live exclusives towns or villages of Capetown or Johannesburg, .
The love lives don’t here in Nilotic plains and valleys. we don’t don’t consider white people, Arabs anything, evil juus (so-called israelis) let alone Bantus. We know these trashes thorough and through. Fellows, people who challenge us on this planet earth don’t exist We are the Ancient Egyptians. A low life like Mr. Riek Machar was taken *hostage* by IGAD and the African Union, his secret societies’ members in the Europe, the US, evil; juus (so-called israel attack dogs) Arabs of North Sudan and Roman Catholics, and move him from South Sudan, to Abbesh (so-called ethiopia) prostitute, to Arusha, Tanzania, South Africa (he even hired white mercenaries to and put him power in South Sudan), Democratic republic Congo (DRC), to North Sudan and back to South Sudan.
How was this possible, our elders have let Mr. Riek Machar run amok with our and our people. The current president of South Sudan let it happen. Yeah, we are God’s chosen people, even the ‘devils’ on this planet earth, can also ‘chose’ and the South Sudanese as their DEVILS chosen PEOPLE.
An In ALL, THIS IS NOT A COLD WAR, BUT A HOT WAR. There will be no Arabs in our North Sudan, Abeshas (so-call ethiopians) prostitutes, Bantuses, evil juus (so-called israelis) attack dogs, English people, Indians, Pakistanis, Nepalese, sri Lankans, Italians in our backyards, reasons, pure HATRED and RACISM. Love people and a country who don’t consider you anything IS NOT A GOOD IDEA..
