The government said that only one person survived in a plane crash in South Sudan, and the plane crashed to kill 20 oil workers on the ship.
Puot Puot Kang Chol, Minister of Petroleum, said the plane was going to the capital Juba after three minutes after the oil field in Scholarship on Wednesday morning.
Five of the victims: two Chinese, one Indians and two Ugandan crews. The other 15 victims were from South Sudan.
The cause of the crash has not been determined, but the authorities said they are investigating.
Chol said: “In this extremely difficult period, our thoughts and condolences came to the family and loved ones on board.”
All the men’s oil workers work at the Pioneer Pioneer (GPOC), and the aircraft is operated by light aviation service airlines.
GPOC is a joint venture, including state -owned oil companies from India, China, Malaysia and South Sudan.
It was originally a routine exploration task.
South Sudan’s aviation infrastructure is not well developed, and the country’s security records are poor.
Air accidents are very common and often blame overloads of aircraft or weather conditions.
In 2021, a freight aircraft carrying the United Nations World Grain Program (WFP) fuel crashed near Juba, and five people were killed.
