Sudan's Capital Overwhelmed by Black Market AK-47s

The black market in Sudan's capital, Khartoum, has been flooded with AK-47 assault rifles, causing a 50% drop in price due to the saturation of the Russian-invented weapon. The ongoing civil war between the army and the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF) has led to an abundance of arms, with many soldiers being killed or captured. The collapse of the government and rise in crime has prompted residents to purchase weapons for self-defense, with pistols being in higher demand due to their ease of use and carry. The conflict has devastated Sudan, leading to looting, rape, and a surge in crime.
