We have also approached a certain foreign government to rule out any form of sabotage or terrorism.

Any idea which foreign government?

I can't help but remember that it was a plane crash with the VP of Rwanda on board that triggered the genocide there. Same general neighborhood.

Of course. But here we have already see genocides over the past 30 years. Is another one in the making? I doubt it. Will war break out again? Probably.

The only solution is for Khartoum to be destroyed or separation of Sudan into two states: South Sudan and whatever they want to call the north - How about the alquaeda sudanese republic...

The country that Uganda asked to investigate the cause of the crash was the USA, according to the last two paragraphs of this Voice of America article:
