| Abstract: | Although large-scale civil conflicts, such as the Angolan and Mozambiqan wars are winding down, Africa's spending on arms remains high as old equipment is replaced with more modern means of destruction. Dexter Jerome Smith delves into the secret world of arms purchases to bring you this report. After a lull following the end of the Cold War era when sub-Sahara African defence budgets, particularly spending on arms, had been falling, expenditure is now beginning to level off and even, in some cases, to increase. |
