Addis Ababa: Identifying the cause of the deadly Ethiopian Airlines crash that killed 157 people and caused the worldwide grounding of a brand-new Boeing aircraft model will take ‘considerable time’, an Ethiopian government minister has said.

The crash of Flight ET 302 minutes into its flight to Nairobi March 10 killed all on board and caused the worldwide grounding of the Boeing 737 MAX 8 aircraft model involved in the disaster.

“The investigation of such magnitude requires a careful analysis and considerable time to come up with something concrete,” transport minister Dagmawit Moges told reporters at a press conference.

Witnesses said the plane nose-dived into remote farmland southeast of the Ethiopian capital Addis Ababa, reducing the plane to small pieces of debris buried deep in the earth. The victims came from 35 countries.

Dagmawit said it would take up to six months to identify remains, and family members were being encouraged to submit DNA samples in Addis Ababa or at Ethiopian Airlines offices overseas.

Death certificates would be issued in two weeks, she added.

The black boxes from the Ethiopian craft were sent to France’s BEA air safety agency this week to determine the cause of the accident.

The data from one of them, the cockpit voice recorder, has already been extracted and handed over to Ethiopian authorities, the BEA said Saturday.

‘The work continues’ to obtain the data from the flight data recorder, which was badly damaged in the crash, it added.

A relative of one of the crash victims who asked not to named expressed frustration with the wait for remains.

The person said that under the victim’s Jewish faith, no funeral could be held until his remains were returned, and the six-month delay was distressing for his family.

“They are in immense pressure and remorse as it is, without waiting half a year,” the relative added.

The crash of Ethiopian Airlines Flight 302 was the second deadly incidence for the 737 MAX 8 following the October crash of an Indonesian Lion Air jet that killed all 189 passengers and crew.

The Boeing 737 MAX 8 is a brand-new jet. The crash of two of them in the space of just a few months, coupled with similarities in the circumstances, led countries and airlines around the world to ground the plane.

A preliminary report into the Lion Air disaster was published a month after the crash.

Nijjar's killing: British Columbia premier suspects Canada holding back information Toronto: Premier of Canada's British Columbia province David Eby has said that the government is holding back information regarding allegations of foreign interference in Khalistani leader Hardeep Singh Nijjar's killing. The Liberal leader said that the Public Safety Minister has reached out, saying Ottawa wants to make sure the province has the details it needs to keep its residents safe, "but there has not been good information sharing," news outlet CBC reported. "I've been continually pushing the federal government and related agencies to share information with the province instead of holding about this latest incident," Eby said, adding that everything he knows about Nijjar's killing is "in the public realm". He also called a briefing with the Canadian Security Intelligence Service (CSIS) director "frustrating" as no concrete information was provided. "For a while, I've been at the opinion that there is a gap between the information that Ottawa has... and the ability to communicate that information to provinces where we can actually make a difference in terms of using it to respond to issues on the ground," Eby said in a video posted on CBC News. Eby said addressing a media session in Vancouver on Friday that federal intelligence is needed to protect and address the concerns of diaspora communities in a better manner. In an apparent reference to sharing of evidence related to the allegations, Eby said: "We can only keep British Columbians safe if we work together. We cannot protect diaspora communities, people who have home connections in other parts of the world, from foreign interference if we don't know that it's (foreign interference) happening," Eby told reporters. Speaking on evidence related to the allegations, Harjit Singh Sajjan, the Indo-Canadian Minister of Emergency Preparedness, said this week that it would be "very inappropriate" for him to discuss anything about evidence as a police investigation is underway. "When it comes to the evidence, it's the police that hold the evidence. And they, alone, decide the next actions on this," Sajjan had told CBC Radio. Speaking to the media on Friday, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said "credible allegations" related to the potential link between Indian agents and the killing of Nijjar were communicated to New Delhi "weeks ago". "We hope that they engage with us so we can get to the bottom of this very serious matter," the PM added. According to the 2021 Canadian census, nearly 22 per cent of Indians are spread across the British Columbian cities of Vancouver, Surrey, Kelowna, Victoria, etc. IANS Canada, British Columbia, David Eby, Khalistan, Hardeep Singh Nijjar
