A tragic incident unfolded in Sudan as a military plane crashed in a residential area near the Wadi Seidna military airport, resulting in the loss of over 20 lives, including military personnel and civilians. The event took place on Tuesday in northern Omdurman, and details emerged the following day, citing technical failure as the probable cause.

Among the victims of the crash was Major General Bahr Ahmed, a prominent figure in Khartoum's military hierarchy. Major General Ahmed had played a pivotal role across the capital, further intensifying the loss felt by the military and the nation. The crash has cast a shadow over the region, highlighting potential challenges within the military's aviation sector.

The Sudanese army released a statement on Tuesday acknowledging the fatalities among both military ranks and civilians. However, the statement refrained from divulging detailed information pending further investigation. This calamity underscores the necessity for rigorous safety measures and evaluations in military operations to prevent future tragedies.
