The two files on arms and ammunition used by the forces of George Athor and Peter Gadet are rather too large to send as attachments. They can be accessed via the links below. http://www.smallarmssurveysudan.org/pdfs/facts-figures/weapons-tracing-desk/HSBA-Materials-George-Athor-forces.pdf http://www.smallarmssurveysudan.org/pdfs/facts-figures/weapons-tracing-desk/HSBA-Materials-Gadet-forces.pdf BEGIN Subject: Small Arms Survey launches the Sudan Arms and Ammunition Tracing Desk] The Small Arms Survey’s Sudan Human Security Baseline Assessment (HSBA) is pleased to announce a new initiative designed to refine our understanding of the types and sources of small arms and light weapons in the hands of armed actors operating in Sudan and South Sudan. The aims of the Sudan Arms and Ammunition Tracing Desk are to: Refine estimates of the numbers and types of weapons among various Sudanese actors through focused field research. Apply tracing techniques employed by UN expert panels and other official bodies to investigate the origins and possible sourcing routes of weapons and ammunition Promote best practices for the identification and tracing of arms and ammunition in Sudan and South Sudan among all interested stakeholders. Our goal is for the Tracing Desk to become a central resource and clearing house for the identification and analysis of arms and ammunition holdings and flows in Sudan and South Sudan.
