Officials diverted revenue from arms sales to the rebels (An example from Longman Dictionary of Contemporary English, 5th edition).
I concluded from the sentence that officials now have more income from dealing with rebels than selling rebels; while at the past trading arms sales comprised sizable proportion for the officials than selling arms.
Another conclusion: Officials now selling arms to the rebels and have revenue in this way.
Which interpretation of the sentence is correct and to the point?
Thank you for your attention.
