"Chinese And Israeli Weapons Are Fueling The Conflict ..." Topic

…In South Sudan.

"China's biggest arms manufacturer has been selling weapons to South Sudan's government, whose military has been accused of a "scorched earth" campaign of razing entire villages, burning people alive, and raping children.

According to a United Nations report released this week, the state-owned China North Industries, better known as Norinco, sold the South Sudan government $20 USD million worth of missiles, guided missile launchers, grenade launchers, almost 10,000 automatic rifles, and 24 million rounds of ammunition last year. China promised last year to halt all arms sales to South Sudan after it was discovered to have sold $38 USD million of small arms and lights weapons to the government.

It is not the money that is important to these two countries …. what is important to them is for the Chinese they are providing assistance to an ally, and for Israel it is to provide assistance to a country that is in conflict with Sudan …. a country that is a sworn enemy of Israel.

So what part of that article says anything about Isreal?

It doesn't.

So the title is highly slanted against Israel…

If true, that is bad, though I suspect even without sophisticated weapons, the killing would continue, but they'd just use machetes, or rocks instead.

Never let facts get in the way of some good 'ol Israel Bashing.

Yea, it's the unofficial, world sport at the UN.

UN report: Israeli weapons fuelling South Sudan civil war
Gili Cohen, Haaretz, Aug 26 2015

Israeli weapons are being used in South Sudan by the local army and its senior officers, according to a recent UN report. The report, issued by a panel of experts appointed by the UNSC to study the civil war in South Sudan, is based on photographs from the field showing weapons manufactured by Israel Weapon Industries (IWI). According to the interim report, which summarizes the first 10 weeks of the panel's activities, the weapon in question is an Ace, an upgraded version of the Galil assault rifle, which was developed by Israel Military Industries (now the IWI).

The panel of experts noted that at least some of the weapons were given to the local national security service before the outbreak of the war, but now the Israeli weapons are in use by what are basically all the security bodies in the country: the SPLA, the local police, the national security service and the bodyguards of senior officers. They are also carried by the officers themselves. Israel doesn't say if sells arms to South Sudan, but officials from the African state have taken part in recent Israeli weapons shows.

Thanks for share Aristonicus!
