This brief reviews small arms supply and demand among the spectrum of armed actors in Sudan, highlighting recent trends and developments. It also describes the primary supply chains and mechanisms by which these arms transfers take place. It finds the following: China and Iran together accounted for more than 90 percent of small arms and light weapons supply; the UN arms embargo has not prevented weapons from reaching Darfur; the EU arms embargo appears to have been largely effective in prohibiting direct weapons transfers.
