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. Follow the links below for further information on the Tracing Desk, and the first of two brief web reports on caches of arms and ammunition seized **by the Sudan People’s Liberation Army from the forces of *George Athor* and *Peter Gadet*: *Arms and Ammunition Tracing Desk page* Providing a description of the Tracing Desk initiative. http://www.smallarmssurveysudan.org/facts-figures-weapons-tracing-desk.php *Materiel seized from George Athor’s forces (October 2011)* Web report describing details and possible sources of weapons retrieved from forces loyal to George Athor. http://www.smallarmssurveysudan.org/pdfs/facts-figures/weapons-tracing-desk/HSBA-Materials-Gadet-forces.pdf *Materiel seized from Peter Gadet’s forces (October 2011)* Web report describing details and possible sources of weapons retrieved from forces loyal to Peter Gadet. http://www.smallarmssurveysudan.org/pdfs/facts-figures/weapons-tracing-desk/HSBA-Materials-George-Athor-forces.pdf Remember to refresh your web browser to open the newest updates.
