Indeed, the Stockholm International Peace Research Institute has reported that Sudan is now the third largest importer of weapons in Africa for the 2006-2010 period. The relative value of the country's imports are, however, dwarfed by the number one and two countries. Algeria was the largest importer, with 48% of African defence imports going to that government. South Africa came second, with 27%, before a massive drop to third placed Sudan with 4%. Much of Sudan's trade in defence is conducted with China or Russia and is for relatively low-tech items, such as tanks which would be considered obsolete for a first-world army. ------------------------------------------------------------ Full Report Details at - http://www.fastmr.com/ ------------------------------------------------------------ BMI estimates that Sudanese defence expenditure rose by 27% in 2010 to US$2.81bn in constant US$ price terms, from US$2.2bn in 2009. This took defence spending to 20.3% of government expenditure, one of the highest levels in the world, although as defence outlay was only US$76.60 per capita, this also indicates that the Sudanese state has fewer financial resources than developed and indeed many emerging economies. In a potentially explosive move, the Sudanese military is believed to be preparing a major offensive for the area of Abyei against forces of the Southern Sudanese government. Despite the north's acceptance of the south's vote for independence, the dispute over Abyei risks derailing what had been an unexpectedly peaceful divorce. The government alleges that police and militia from the south are illegally occupying the area, whilst the South alleges that it needs to station forces in the area to protect locals against attacks by Northern militia groups. If the offensive by the north is undertaken, it would mark a dramatic shift in the fortunes of the South. The two parties had agreed to the south's independence, including a provision to allocate a great deal of the South's oil income to the north in transport fees. The issue remains, however, that any Sudanese offensive would likely lead to a prolonged conflict between the two parties and threaten the north's receipt of oil income. For the defence industry in particular, such a conflict may boost demand but simultaneously withdraw much of Sudan's capability to fund military modernisation.
