Arms from Ukraine Fueling Terrorists and Rebel Groups in Africa

Sputnik International reports on the flow of arms from Europe to Africa, fed by NATO weapons sent initially into Ukraine. According to Abou Bakr Abdel Salam, a political analyst from Chad, terrorist groups and rebel movements were mainly responsible for the flow. According to the Chadian expert, the Chad-Nigeria-Lake Chad delta region has become an open market for the arms trade from Europe, which come mainly from Ukraine via European countries. He also identified the Maghreb countries as a transshipment point. Algeria, which is said to be a center for the trade, has seen the sale of illegal arms as well.
