Africa-Press<\/a> – South-Sudan<\/a>. <\/strong><\/span>A South Sudan commercial plane crashed on Tuesday in the Pieri area of Uror County, Jonglei State killing all the ten people who were on board.<\/p>\n

According to some eyewitnesses, the plane which was carrying two crew members and nine passengers crashed immediately after takeoff from Pieri airstrip.<\/p>\n

Eyewitness Sebit Kuol says the aircraft took off from Pieri airstrip at around 4:30 local time and crashed a few minutes later.<\/p>\n

The Director of Juba International Airport, Kur Kuol confirmed the incident adding that they did not have full details of those on board because of the poor telecommunication network.<\/p>\n

In a statement, the governor of Jonglei, Denay Jock Chagor condoled with the families and friends of those who perished in the accident.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur prayers are with their families and loved ones. On my own behalf and on behalf of the people of Jonglei state and the nation, I share this condolence message with the affected families and friends in these hours of grief,\u201d Chagor said in a condolence message released by his office.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was with great shock and horror to receive the news of the plane crash of South Supreme Airlines that happened today, the 2nd day of March 2021 at around 5 pm at Pieri Airstrip,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

Early on, former Chairman of the Lou-Nuer community in Nairobi, Kenya, Nyang Mar had expressed his sadness for the loss of the 10 people on board the plane.<\/p>\n

\u201cMy hometown of Pieri in Jonglei State has been hit today at 5:05 pm by a plane crash that claims the lives of 10 ( 6 passengers & 2 pilots). Exact details are yet to be unveiled to us from there. May God console and comfort the affected families,\u201d said Nyang Mar, former Chairman of the Lou-Nuer community in Nairobi, Kenya.<\/p>\n

Those who died in the crash include 2 pilots, 2 children, a man, and six women.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
