NAIROBI, March 4 (Xinhua) -- Sub-Saharan African countries are committed to halting the flow of small and light weapons due to the threat they pose to peace, stability and long-term growth, officials said Monday at a forum in Nairobi, the Kenyan capital.
The officials attending a two-day regional preparatory meeting decried the movement of these weapons across borders, fueling terrorism, armed insurgencies and wildlife crimes.
