Advocates see opportunity in US review of Saudi arms sales | Weapons News

Nearly two months after the United States announced it would halt “offensive” support for the Saudi-led coalition in Yemen, as well as “relevant” arms sales, the administration of President Joe Biden has offered little clarity on how it will define those parameters. The move, though short on specifics, was welcomed by US-based advocates, who had long argued that Washington should end its backing of the coalition due to reports of widespread human rights abuses and the conflict’s punishing humanitarian toll on Yemeni civilians. Activists in other countries that provide arms to Riyadh also took note of the Biden administration’s policy pivot, hoping it could influence their own governments’ respective positions on the war in Yemen and weapons exports to the Saudi government.

Days after Khashoggi killing, British military sold cru

Last week Britain’s prime minister Boris Johnson toured a sparkling aircraft factory in the north of England, elbow bumping its young and diverse apprentices to highlight his investment in a futuristic fighter jet for UK forces. Johnson said staff at the BAE Systems site in Warton, Lancashire, were “helping make our country safe” and forging Britain as “a science superpower”. Although his trip to Warton was widely reported, no British journalist mentioned the factory’s role in building a Thatcher-era aircraft which Saudi Arabia still uses to bomb Yemen, its southern neighbour. That conflict in the Middle East, which started in 2015, has created the world’s worst humanitarian crisis. Much of Yemen’s infrastructure has been destroyed and millions of people, including children, are on the brink of starvation.

Millions of Yemenis will starve to death if British aid to their country is slashed, warns former international secretary

by Bethany Rielly MILLIONS of Yemenis will starve to death if British aid to their country is slashed by up to 50 per cent, a former Conservative minister warned today. Last year, Chancellor Rishi Sunak announced plans to cut the overseas aid budget from 0.7 per cent of GDP to 0.5 per cent, which diplomats warned would translate into a 50 to 70 per cent reduction in funding for the world’s poorest nations. Former international secretary Andrew Mitchell said today that cuts to the effect of 50 per cent to Yemen “would be very serious indeed.” “Sir Mark Lowcock, the senior British official at the UN, has made it clear that were a cut like that to take place, four million Yemenis, mainly children, will continue the slow, agonising and obscene process of starving to death,” he told the Today programme.
