Documenting Corruption in the Arms Trade. #Corruptiontracker
POSTS STORIES REELS
The Corruption Tracker is exposing the arms trade as one of the most corrupt businesses in the world, affecting almost any region. Yet, the impacts of both arms sales and corruption are often ignored, or even excused, especially when it comes to the African continent. From Russian mercenaries to Emirati money to European weapons and militaries, some African countries have had to bear much foreign intervention even in supposedly postcolonial times. 🧐 The Corruption Tracker has documented allegations such as an international arms company essentially tanking the Mozambican economy, Egypt bribing a US senator at the expense of its own people, Israel fuelling the conflcit in South Sudan, and bribery from European arms companies setting the stage for a state takeover by private interests in South Africa. Over the next twelve months we will highlight these and more cases in search of answers to the question: #WhoArmsAfrica? 🤔 Join us as hold the seemingly unaccountable to account with our new campaign - #linkinbio and be sure to follow @ArmsTradeCT on all social media platforms 💥 @shadowworldinvestigations @worldpeacefdtn @forumarmstrade @caatuk by @armstradect

CASE UPDATES | ANGOLAGATE The Angolagate scandal erupted in France in 1999, exposing a covert arms-trading network that supplied the Angolan government during its renewed civil war against UNITA rebels. At the time, France supported UN calls for an arms embargo and official channels opposed arms sales to the civil war. Between 1993 and 1998, arms brokers Pierre Falcone and Arcadi Gaydamak sourced weapons from former Soviet-bloc countries and arranged shipments to Angola. The affair, labelled as France’s biggest bribery scandal, went beyond arms trafficking: an estimated $56 million in bribes was reportedly paid to Angolan decision-makers, including President José Eduardo dos Santos, while payments and alleged kickbacks reached French politicians and officials who helped arrange the deals or were accused of protecting them from scrutiny. Angola would go on to pay for the weapons through oil-backed financing. For full details click the link in bio #Angola #France #Corruption by @armstradect

Sardinia seems insignificant on an international level but what's happening here is very relevant in the colonial and genocidal machine driven by israel and the USA, so i hope you can read this thread and share so it reaches international media. we have to stop the war machine ⬇️ The italian government is letting NATO use sardinia as a testing ground for weapons. from october 13th 2026 to the 20th they are planning to simulate a nuclear battle on the sea surrounding sardinia and on the central areas. these weapons are then deployed in the genocide. sardinians have been fighting against military servitude for centuries but it's hard to stop them when not even other italians really care or know about it. we need international help. a lot of israeli and usa weapons produced by leonardo and rheinmetall pass through here nobody outside sardinia is talking about what's happening here, that's why i'm writing this post in english hoping it reaches more people because i keep watching my island die at hands of genocidal criminals and feel helpless. they think they can hide here because it's isolated. it's hard to find anything in english on this topic so i tried to summarise it, but there is much more going on. they are taking land for military, data centres, energy sources... you can find some info in english a post by @armstradect and @sardigna_globalsumud and some general info and activism in english from @sharrrdana if you know italian, check out @federica.marrocu for all the uncensored news regarding sardinia please tag international activists to help this reach more coverage @globalsumudflotilla @gretathunberg @fridaysforfutureitalia @italia_globalsumud @fridaysforfuture @greenpeace_ita @greenpeace @europebeyondburning #sardinia #palestine #climatecrisis #stopgenocide #defundthemilitary by @armstradect
