The Corruption Tracker is exposing the arms trade as one of the most corrupt businesses in the world, affecting almost any region. Yet, the impacts of both arms sales and corruption are often ignored, or even excused, especially when it comes to the African continent. From Russian mercenaries to Emirati money to European weapons and militaries, some African countries have had to bear much foreign intervention even in supposedly postcolonial times.
