This must come to an end. Those responsible for these unfortunate but avoidable must be held accountable

“In South Sudan we have had far too many plane crashes that have remained unresolved. This must come to an end. Those responsible for these unfortunate but avoidable must be held accountable” ~ Late Amb.Telar Ring Deng 17th Sep.2018.

On behalf of ACIBIKLEUYIC Fraternity, this morning we received extremely sad news that Captain Majur Malou Majongadol passed away while at work. Capt.Majur was piloting a Flight # South Sudan Supreme Airlines which crashed a few minutes after taking off from Uror County, Jonglei State, South Sudan. The aircraft was taking off in an airstrip in Pieri Payam at 5:00PM, Tuesday 2nd of March, 2021. Capt. Majur was 49 years old.

A graduate of Political Science in San Diego California USA and U.S. Trained Pilot in National Air College: San Diego, California.
Capt. Majur began his career in the U.S. as a first officer before being upgraded to Captain. He had decided to return to South Sudan and was employed with South Supreme Airliner headed by Ayii Duong Ayii.

All of us at ACIBIKLEUYIC Fraternity extend our condolences to Majur’s wife, Agum Ustaz William Ater Maciek, and to his entire family especially Dr. Juba Malou Majongadol in Phoenix Arizona.Paan Majongadol, Rumbek community, Greater Lakes State, South Sudan and America have lost a husband and father, and many of you have lost a personal friend. Our condolences too to the families of the 10 victims who perished alongside Capt. Majur Malou. And to Paan Majongadol, taking care of Capt. Majur’s family is your focus now, and to others, I know you’ll join me in keeping them in your thoughts and prayers.

The frequency of plane crashes in South Sudan leaves a lot of questions unanswered. Whether there is indeed some semblance of Aviation Authority ever established, if it exists, its terms and conditions of assessment, limitations including licensing of aircraft business? Whether these aircraft businesses do operate with or without liabilities? Does the government have any public safety standard ever set and being monitored at all by a government department concern?

Do such businesses take responsibility for what goes wrong as a result of their lack of compliance, wilful negligence, serviceability or functionality issues? There are certain responsibilities and liabilities that come along with operating a critical business. Our people can not die every year under corrupt businesses which operate under no strict system of compliance whatsoever.

I suggest the victims’ families get their lawyers ready to sue without delay Mr. Ayii DUANG Ayii. He is criminally liable and stands accused until Courts proven him innocent. He can not continue his “flying ‘coffins business” unchecked whilst profiting from his unethical businesses of old junkie aircrafts being dumped in the country.

The government on the other hand should have reviewed all plane-crash reports and made final recommendations. There is no sovereignty in the air. If the government proved, out of these reports, some lack of capacity. Then they should in the meantime and straight away grant foreign airlines to operate our domestic flights until we have a well tested systems in place.

Yes foreign planes operations domestically will be expensive but safe and a greater peace of mind advantage to those who can afford. Flying is a privilege. Not everyone can fly!

Mr. Ayii can not continue to source his Russian post techno era planes from South African aircrafts-graveyards and freely parachute them into our populations in South Sudan without accountability.

The next chapter! I hope the concerned citizens of South Sudan will weigh in and ask the following questions which have previously been raised in the Yirol plane Crash by Late Amb. Telar Ring Deng in his an open letter to SOUTH SUDAN CIVIL AVIATION AUTHORITY that;

“In South Sudan we have had far too many plane crashes that have remained unresolved. This must come to an end. Those responsible for these unfortunate but avoidable deaths must be held accountable”

However, above this, the Civil Aviation’s Authority has its work cut out. They need to ascertain the registration details of the plane in South Sudan, if not registered in South Sudan; did the management acquire requisite licences? Was the plane air worthy? When it was last serviced, by who and where!

Furthermore, the internationally accepted criterion for investigating a plane crash is as follows:

1. Operations – Investigators must check the history of the accident flight and crew members duties for as many days prior to the crash as it appears relevant. With this, it will also establish the aircraft’s service record.

2. Structures – the investigators look at documentation of the airframe wreckage and the accident scene; including calculations of impact angles to help determine the plane’s pre-impact course and altitude

3. Power plants – examination of engines, propellers and engine accessories

4. Systems – study of the components of the planes hydraulic, electrical, pneumatic and associated systems together with instruments and elements of the flight control system.

5. Air Traffic Control – Reconstruction of air traffic services given to the pilot in flight including acquisition of Air Traffic Control radar data and transcripts of controller-pilot radio transmission.

6. Weather – gathering of all the pertinent weather data from the national weather service for a broad area around the accident scene

If the investigations are to follow the afore-stated pattern, we will be able to arrive at a logical finding that will bring those culpable to answer for their negligence and recklessness.

The affected families of the deceased will seek to pursue legal action against the Company under whose management the Aircraft was under. Furthermore, we may not wish to pre-empt the investigations, however, we are mindful of the fact that there may be criminal culpability established hence we will be looking forward to the arraignment of those who will be found to be criminally liable in court.

Lastly, I am appealing to all the current pilots in South Sudan still flying Ayii Duong Ayii’s dead coffins aircrafts- Russian Techno era to immediately resign from his company and explore elsewhere for a better airline to fly with, and if getting an employment in your career is an issue, then be a Matatu or bus driver. Your life is precious and at the same time, it’s irreplaceable.

May your soul Rest in Peace Capt: Majur Malou Majongadol.

Cordially,
