Arms used by Syria, S. Yemen, Libya, Algeria and Sudan...

Does anyone here know what kind of long arms are in use or have been used by the countries of Libya, South Yemen, Sudan, Algeria, and Syria? I suspect that ComBloc hardware is dominate, but I would like to know some specifics.

It is difficult to get good info or photos but so far I know Algerians uses AK - 47s(also with russian grenade launcher GP - 25), Steyr AUG, PK, SVD, SMG Berretta M12, shotgun Remington 870...
Libya uses also AK - 47s and others soviet origin weapons but have also some FN MAG, SMG Sterlings and some H&K guns, mostly MP - 5.
Yemen has no standard weapons, they use different versions of AK - 47(mostly hungarian AMD - 65 and AKS - 74), but also some FN FAL and some M - 16.
Sudan has more versatile weaponry but also dominates AK - 47, older H&K G 3, FN FAL, LMG Degtarov(WW2 relict), PK, newest gun is indonesian Pindad SS - 1 used by elite forces.
Syria uses mostly older versions of AK - 47 but also new AKS - 74(cal. 5,45 mm), their SF regiment Saiqa uses also M - 16, FN FAL, SVD and some UZIs. None of this countries could be considered as well armed...
