Landing issue in Sudan

October the 2nd, a Sudan Air flight from Khartoum to Malakal returned back to Khartoum because of a serious landing gear issue. Nobody was injured in a belly landing.

Airport authorities had to close the roads near the airport and support the runway sides with sand to ensure the plane's safe landing.

As in piling up sand off the runway sides in case of a runway departure?

To me it looked like "Support the runway sides with s and"

Language translation oddity?

In any case it looks like a relatively good outcome. A good operational test result from the foam truck too.
