South Africa Seizes Banned Weapons Going From North Korea To Republic Of Congo

[breakyourface]

[release]The foreign ministry said it had reported the seizure to the UN Security Council, saying the shipment broke a UN weapons sanction against North Korea.
The report said spare parts for T-55 tanks were hidden among sacks of rice in two shipping containers.
The Republic of Congo has experienced a wave of violence recently.
Arms ban

South Africa's report to the UN said the two containers were seized in November last year and were being stored in Durban while an investigation into the shipment, labelled as bulldozer parts, continued.

It is not the first seizure of its kind. In December, Thailand confiscated more than 35 tons of arms from a cargo plane that made an emergency landing in Bangkok that officials said had come from North Korea.

North Korea was banned from selling arms and related equipment under UN sanctions passed in June last year after Pyongyang carried out nuclear and missile tests.
The sanctions allow searches of transport travelling to or from North Korea suspected of carrying banned goods.[/release]

North Korea later said "Does anyone like us yet? Do we have to keep doing shit like this?"

Really that's kinda messed up, I wonder if NK and republic of congo were planning an attack, but it was most likely NK being the fucktwats that they usually are.

I may sound like an asshole, but I really started not to care about those parts in Africa.

I cross my [b]arms[/b] in disappointment. :colbert:

[redonkulous]

Silly North Korea. They think someone cares about them.

[DrVivi]

Restricting 1 awp per country sounds reasonable.

Where are they getting the rice from?

You might as well be pretending to ship water out of Zimbabwe.

Egypt is a really shitty country, but regardless it's still perhaps one of the best countries in Africa.

Because it's not anarchy like the rest of Africa.

I talked to an Afrikaner woman from South Africa once.

She had left the country to come to America. She explained in short (at least this is what I got from it although I can't see the logic behind this), that the reason behind apartheid was to prevent the native Africans from revolting and killing off the white settlers and prevent racial conflict by segregation, but the sins of her fathers, removing and killing the Africans wasn't the original intention.

While I highly doubt the obvious justification of such racism, you have to wonder sometimes when the recently elected president has a controversy about raping a woman with HIV, claiming that taking a [I]shower fixed him[/I].

Ghana, South Africa and Egypt

Nuff Said.

Yeah, sure if you're a tourist.

But us residents suffer greatly because of its corrupt government.
I suppose you're right though; we have it better than most of Africa.
