Correct answer
Explanation
The African Nuclear-Weapons-Free Zone Treaty � also known as the Treaty of Pelindaba after a nuclear research facility in South Africa � requires that African countries do nuclear trade only with countries that agree on the full scope of nuclear safeguards for all their nuclear sources and associated facilities. The treaty stands in the way of India sourcing uranium from several African countries, including Namibia, Gabon, Niger, Uganda and Angola and clinching a nuclear research arrangement with South Africa.
