Well, at unawares my "callsign" corresponds to the topic....

And I even was flying in Africa, as well in Iraq and Afghan, though our crew always rejected "that" cargo.

It's getting more clear nowadays that an idea of feeding ammo to Africa, Iraq and Afghan doesn't belong solely to "Lord of Wars" (yes, I've seen that movie).

But I doubt you or me will be able to stop that !!!!!, as I beleive there are a lot of NGOs involved, who have hidden governmental financial and political support.

It's wise and honest to allow no ammos on board. Okay, what next? How about russian birds? Russian crews have been flying to areas with ongoing mil activity for ve-e-ery poor bonus with ammo on-board. Even keeping in mind two IL-76s recently shot up in Somalia.

I gave up. I won't carry such cargo, and there is nothing we can do more.
