Powder keg - Unfettered arms flows reflect Sudan's instability

Jane's satellite imagery analysis from March to May 2009 shows a pattern of tanks making their way north from the port of Mombasa. Satellite imagery captured at the same time in South Sudan showed ongoing construction at an SPLA compound several kilometres northeast of Juba (image A). That GeoEye-1 satellite image revealed tracked vehicles staged throughout the military facility and concealed under camouflage. In early May 2009, Jane's received photographic evidence of the SPLA facility at Juba, revealing the presence of nine new tracked vehicles in the compound's staging area. DigitalGlobe's QuickBird satellite captured an image on 17 May that revealed that the same area had been levelled and three additional vehicles - for a total of 12 - were present (image B). Tracked vehicle scarring, more evident in the soil because of a recent rainfall, was not only present around the staged vehicles but was traced 4 km south to the taxiway at Juba's airfield, indicating that these vehicles were airlifted to Sudan, probably in early May, and driven to the SPLA facility (image C). (2009 DigitalGlobe)

Despite a peace agreement in 2005, weapons flows to both northern and southern Sudan continue to increase. Jane's explains how this could lead to further conflict.
