Anybody
here remember the Houthi rebels from Yemen?
Warmongers
speculated Iran was behind the revolutionaries that sought to oppose Yemen's
Sunni rule.
Now,
Yemen's government, backed by Sunni Saudi Arabia, sought help from the latter.
The result is a widespread assault by Saudi Arabia by air, land and sea.
But
that is expected, to be honest.
The
only thing that connects Britain to the conflict is that our contractors had
sold the weapons Saudi Arabia.
It's
not wrong because UK contractors have a license to sell Saudi some weapons. But
it's wrong because the government had not yet reviewed the activities of Saudi
Arabia.
Clearly,
rules are being bent for profit's sake.
Of
course, we know it's profit. With Britain's own government tying contracts with
defence companies, it's not a farfetched idea that the whole-new IS and
international extremism agenda is swinging to their favour.
Ask
the stock markets. It's actually happening.
But,
sorry to disappoint fellahs, selling to Saudi Arabia may be illegal. Some
highly influential people in the Campaign Against The Arms Trade (CAAT)
highlighted Saudi Arabia's indisputable record when it comes to human rights
violations. If the government will not review and possibly suspend the
licenses, we're seeing a big issue that would define the UK's role in its
entirety.
