After an alleged two-year-long embargo on armsales to the Saudi Arabia-led coalition for use in the Yemen war, the German government re-started sales last year. Read hear the German version of the article by Spiegel.

The German government might insist on having terminated arms sales following the Kashigori murder and reported human rights violations in Yemen in 2019. However, the findings of the German magazine Spiegel prove otherwise. According to Spiegel, the German government continued arms sales to the Saudi Arabia-led coalition despite the arms embargo in flagrant breach of the court ruling. They have continued arms sales in back chambers behind closed doors.

The video reveals German complicity in the Yemen war and the devastating impact of arms sales to the Saudi Arabia-led coalition. It is horrifying that despite grave human rights violations, Germany is still delivering arms to crisis regions and is unabately filling the arsenals of warmongers.
