Looks like an An-12 to me...
From the way the story reads, the Al-Safat is a small trainer. The aircraft in the background of the accompanying photo looks like an An-12.
I believe the word "launch" in this case refers to the start of production, not an actual aircraft leaving the ground.

Scrap heap challenge, collect all of the parts of AN-12 scattered around Sundan and you come up with SAFAT 01 if thats the photographed aircraft.
Presume it must be something else. Just Googled and its a Piper cub replica!

balsa wood - and paint
Yep but the paint job keeps the whole thing together long enough to take the photo!
Now what happens when they put the engine in, possibly an optional extra (another $15,000) not good at reading Sudanese fineprint.
Pre ordered anyone? Need to know the delivery charges?
a couple of smilies for rainboe.
