(b) Conventional arms

Of the 34 arms shipments identified by the Monitoring Group, 21 transactions were conducted through the Bakaaraha arms market, which reaffirms the central role it plays in the arms trade and in arms embargo violations in Somalia.

Additionally, the Monitoring Group is convinced that another arms market, located in Yemen, operates in conjunction with the Bakaarah arms market by functioning as a continuing source for the arms routinely received by the Bakaarah arms market.

In addition, the opposition was supplied with arms by criminal groups or arms trading networks through the medium of the Bakaraaha Arms Market (BAM) at Irtogte in Mogadishu.

Arms trafficking must be internationally controlled and sanctioned and illicit trade in arms must be criminalized.

Arms and travel ban

The arms embargo violations originate from two basic sources illegal arms trading networks channelling arms to BAM from outside Somalia and direct State contributions to TFG or the opposition.

Arms deliveries to Irtogte are increasing and prices for arms have risen sharply owing to high demand.

A number of individuals used the medium of the Bakaaraha arms market either to sell or to buy arms that were brought into Somalia in violation of the arms embargo.

Support should be given, both by ECOWAS, through its new Small Arms Unit and Small Arms Programme, and development partners, to the various national commissions on small arms and light weapons, and also for work to begin on establishing a regional register of small arms.
