Military expenditure in Africa is estimated to have been $27.4 billion in 2009, an increase of 6.5 per cent in real terms compared to 2008. The increase, continuing the trend of the past decade, has been underpinned by a combination of ongoing military modernization programmes, counterterrorism measures, internal security challenges and economic growth, fuelled especially by increased oil and gas production and prices. Many established major spenders in Africa (e.g. Algeria, Angola, Nigeria, Libya and Sudan) and emerging mid-level spenders (e.g. Chad) have huge endowments of energy resources.
