ASN Aircraft accident Fokker 100 5N-SIK Ganla
An IRS Airlines Fokker F100, operating on a post C-check ferry flight from Bratislava sustained substantial damage during a forced landing in the Ganla area in Niger.
Accident: IRS F100 near GANLA on May 10th 2014, loss of radio contact and emergency landing

I have no idea how remote the area is, in terms of radar coverage, navaids and VDF, but for two professional pilots to lose all means of navgation, however crude, and fail to resolve that situation and/or inform ATC before becoming critically low on fuel is difficult to understand.
