Goliaf Air? - Bout?

Just received a picture from a friend confirming the transformation of the former Goliaf Air airplane to “AFRICA WEST cargo”. The transformation occurred in the International Airport of Sao Tome visible to everyone.
If trusting documents found on the internet (please find links in a previous post) it would connect this airplane with possible arms dealing in Darfur and with the arms dealer Victor Bout.

Victor Bout was arrested in March 6, a few weeks after this blog exposed the location of this airplane.

Goliaf Air turned AFRICA WEST

A visit to the National Airport in Sao Tome revelead that the exact same plane An12, shifted his company name from Goliaf Air, with the track record including some of the reports posted in this blog, to a brand new company name AFRICA WEST.

Goliaf Air


When in a previous post I was interested in the make of this plane I decided to investigate on the Goliaf Air company, here is what I found and the links:
Sudan delivery of arms by company with links to Sao Tome (time magazine) (The Sunday Times has seen western intelligence reports that link Dallex’s São Tomé operating partner Goliaf Air with the notorious arms dealer Victor Anatoliyevich Bout. If the report is accurate, it casts an even more sinister light on the shipments.) http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/world/africa/article1687275.ece
EU/UNDP/SEESAC report suggesting links between Goliaf Air and the British company delivering arms in Sudan and indicating the high Risk of An 12 being used by arms dealers.

… Goliaf Air, is part of a wider clandestine arms delivery network (page 6)
