Abyei Ethiopia Military Helicopter Crash: 3 Dead on spot

The Ethiopian Military helicopter was carrying roughly around 25 soldiers and the helicopter was making it’s way back from the war hotbed in Kadugli zone in Sudan. Kadugli is the capital city of South Kordofan state in Sudan.
Gebre Adhana Woldezgu the Major general and also the acting head of mission said that they are yet to establish the reasons by behind the crash of the military helicopter and that thorough investigations has been launched.
The main reason to why the Ethiopian Military helicopter was coming back from Kadugli is as to the agreement of the UN Mission in Sudan. They are to monitor and verify the redeployment of any armed forces in the hotly contested Abyei Area.
