Sudan's Suna news agency said the foreign ministry also complained about a plane-load of weapons from Ethiopia.

Victor O. in his book about the Mossad already told all about the Mossad arming rebels in Southern Sudan through Ethiopia. This was under the cover of helping Jews of the region emigrate to Israel.

This is another Ukrainian/Israeli operation arming some God forsaken place that will soon flare up into a war that no one wins. I'm sure the US is aware of what is going on. Its probably part of the general war against Islamic countries not under the thumb.
