No matter if it was CFIT, Fuel or WX, this type of accident should be avoidable today with all decision models and CRM skills we get as crews. Of course it was a new A330, but Afriqiah has a few years experience on the A320, which is not that much different (beside energy management and a few system differences).
I believe it was more a personal attitude problem than a training or flying skill problem (as we say: non-tech skill problem)...
