I do not think the probable cause of
this accident is going to be any different from almost all the other African aviation accidents. Sadly until the root causes of scabby operators operating junky aircraft which are aided and abetted by corrupt and incompetent regulators in airspace with non existent to terrible ATC services to airports that lack reliable landing aids and are often in unacceptably poor shape, the continent will continue to have an accident rate 15 times higher than the Western world.
The worst part is that many of the initiatives that the air transport authorities of first world nations and ICAO are implementing to help improve the situation are in danger of cutbacks due to national budget cutting. Even the limited improvements that have been achieved are now in jeopardy
