saudi arabia we would lose. influence over twelve perhaps trying to get them to move away from the conflict in yemen it's interesting that they would try and move away from that conflict by selling them more weapons particularly well what we're hearing from the likes of human rights watch is this ban by germany is the right way to go in trying to help the embattled people of yemen what we have at the moment is a situation where it is thousands perhaps hundreds of thousands of people in dire need of food clean water and aid and not so much in need of billions of dollars worth of weapons being sold to those that are going to use them against them a member of the german parliament for the left party under hunger thinks part of the reason germany made this decision was pressure from france and the u.k. it's a clear breach of this bans extension is outrageous because it. was written in the coalition treaty that there should be no arms exports to those countries who are involved in the human of or seems that there is.
