Amnesty accuses Sudan over arms - supplied by Russia and China

Amnesty says a white Antonov 26 was spotted at Nyala in March. Amnesty International has accused Sudan of violating a UN arms embargo on Darfur and is "dismayed" at Russian and Chinese arms supplies to Khartoum.

Amnesty's report backs UN findings leaked this month that Sudan is flying weapons into Darfur in breach of UN Security Council resolutions.

BBC Bulgaria produces photos of these UN breaches here. Amnesty also provides, for example, photos of an all-white, Russian-built Antonov 26 military plane, registration ST-ZZZ.

2005 trade figures show China sold $24m and Russia $21m of military materiel to Sudan.

IMO: China and Russia are taking money for arranging mass murder, 200,000 known deaths so far. Goodness knows what nuclear bomb materials Russia is supplying to Iran. Some would say that the 'cold war' is coming back and it may get very hot with respect to Russia and China, hardly democracies.
