The Government has said it is 'deeply concerned' about Saudi Arabia’s use of UK weapons against civilians in Yemen, yet ministers will not halt the ongoing weapons sales to the Saudis. Boris Johnson does not believe the threshold has been crossed which would demand the suspension of arms sales to the Middle East country, even though it has been proved that an October airstrike, killing 140 Yemeni mourners at a funeral, was carried out by Saudi Arabia, using UK-built weapons and technology. The UN released a report earlier this year detailing ‘widespread and systematic’ attacks on civilian targets, which are in violation of international humanitarian law. Pray for renewed scrutiny of international export licence applications that could violate such laws. Pray also for the UK export licensing rules to be tightened.
