Al-Baghdadi, Al-Assad, Al-Sisi, Netanyahu, Rouhani these regional goliaths with their recent adventures have swallowed up the available column inches. So when Human Rights Watch, the United Nations and Amnesty International yell: WAR CRIMES IN YEMEN; nobody, sadly, is listening. This has to change. As it stands, British taxpayers are fuelling a conflict in which war crimes are almost definitely being committed. Tobias Ellwood, a junior minister at the Foreign Office, told Parliament late last month that while British personnel were not on the front line, the UK was not only providing technical support and exchanging information...through pre-existing arrangements but also supplying precision-guided weapons. Ellwood also told the Commons that British troops were now deployed at the air and maritime headquarters for the Saudi co-ordinated invasion. When pressed by Labour MP Andrew Smith, Defence Secretary Michael Fallon would not reveal the number of bombs we had given the Saudis, saying it would harm relations between the two countries. Fallon did say, somewhat unconvincingly, that Riyadh had assured [the UK] that British- supplied munitions will be used in compliance with international humanitarian law and we continue to engage with them on these assurances.
