South Sudan, a nation affected by conflict, has experienced multiple air disasters in recent years. In September 2018, a small plane traveling from the capital, Juba, to Yirol crashed, resulting in at least 19 fatalities.
A similar tragedy occurred in 2015 when a Russian-built cargo plane carrying passengers crashed shortly after departing Juba’s airport, claiming dozens of lives.
