European involvement in the Humanitarian Crisis in Yemen

While the US is considered the biggest supporter of the Saudi led war in Yemen they are far from the only western actor involved in supplying arms and support to the coalition despite their intimate knowledge of the extremely high civilian casualties and deliberate tactics employed by the coalition to starve Yemen into submission.

France, Spain, Italy and Germany have all supplied weapons, logistical support, and training, to varying degrees, to the Saudi led coalition and are no less guilty than the US or UK for fueling, enabling, and supporting a war that has led to the worst humanitarian crisis in modern history.

The war in Yemen has resulted in countless civilian casualties. Considered to be the world’s worst humanitarian catastrophe, the Group of Eminent International and Regional Experts on Yemen called for an end to the multi-billion-dollar arms trade between Western countries and the coalition forces specifically Saudi Arabia and the UAE.

As shown above, multiple European countries have provided the coalition forces with assistance through a manner of ways thus none of these countries have clean hands.

Gross human rights violations have taken place within a culture of impunity and none of the parties have been held accountable for the atrocious crimes that they have committed or that they have contributed to via their actions.

With more than 10,000 people who have died over the course of this crisis, these countries have to stop providing assistance and support to the Saudi-led coalition.
