An Antonov An-12 operated by Aviakor was flying from Khartoum toward El Otey when the crew lost their bearings in deteriorating weather after a general electrical failure disabled the ground navigation systems. Running low on fuel, the crew made an emergency landing in the desert near El Fasher in North Darfur. All 23 occupants escaped uninjured, but the aircraft was damaged beyond repair.
