The arms used by the rebels of the SPLM-North in Sudan can mainly be traced as originating from the Sudan Armed Forces rather than being supplied by the SPLA army of South Sudan. The weapons were captured in battles between the troops of SPLM-North and the Khartoum army. This was concluded by the Small Arms Survey after conducting research in SPLM-N controlled positions in South Kordofan (in May 2012) and Blue Nile (in November and December 2012).
