#Germany #Yemen #Berlin #WeaponeTrade

The German federal government is continuing its arms deliveries to countries involved in the Yemen war. The export ban to Saudi Arabia, which leads the military coalition, will continue to apply until the end of the year,
but export permits worth EUR 312 million were issued for Egypt from January to June. This emerges from the interim report on arms export policy in the first half of 2020, which the Federal Ministry of Economics presented,
which puts the country in second place of all permits for third countries - after Israel (533 million euros) and ahead of the USA (266 million euros).
Exports to Egypt are particularly controversial because of the human rights violations that the leadership of President Abdel Fatah Al-Sisi is accused of.
