On May 12, 2009, the Stockholm International Peace Research Institute (SIPRI) released a report showing that same air cargo companies transporting humanitarian aids to Africa also funneled arms into the same volatile parts of the continent.  The research is performed by two British nationals with former ties to governmental and non-governmental organizations.  The report focuses primarily on the messengers of the destabilizing efforts as supposed to the sources.  What could be the logic given by the researchers to go after the air cargo companies, as supposed to the sources who are paying them to transport their cargo?  The former are easier to track. It is from that perspective a recommendation is also offered to boycott the air cargo companies.  The logic behind such recommendation is that, if reputable governmental and humanitarian organizations cease to utilize the services of these messengers, the problem may be obviated.  This approach clearly assumes that reputable organizations (such as governments and NGOs) are not involved with the ‘bad’ cargo (some weapons and illicit drugs) that the aircraft are carrying.  It is also implicitly assumed that if reputable organizations cut off income to these airliners by denying them business, the problem can be curtailed.  Furthermore, it is assumed that the weapons that go to destabilize a region are those that originate from non-reputable organizations, as the report mentions the ones coming from western government are for logistic defense support only.
