The vultures are there as they always are in such circumstances, what is your point?

  That the people shipping weapons to one side or another are not merely vultures but foreigners who nonetheless have an interest in the civil war's outcome, making it not solely Sudanese vs Sudanese

    I think it might be a bit more transactional than that. Arms sellers sell arms, no matter the side.

    How much personal responsibility do you assign, then? Perhaps if you're handed a gun by an arms executive and go and shoot your neighbour did you shoot them because A: you are diminished and suggestible and couldn't help but be influenced by the vulture B: you had planned to do that anyway but lacked the tools to. It's interesting where to draw the line though, because it's relevant in the context of violent/-ist content as well - Relevant to the BS going on in the UK atm; we can claim that a "call to violence" is illegal as it well should be, but there is also the personal responsibility of those involved and that is why they're receiving sentences for participating in violent riots.
