Ansarullah's Spokesman, Mohamed Abdelsalam, said the French president's insistence on continuing to sell arms to Saudi Arabia on the pretext that it is not used against civilians is a clear hypocrisy to evade crimes.
AhlulBayt News Agency (ABNA): Ansarullah's Spokesman, Mohamed Abdelsalam, said the French president's insistence on continuing to sell arms to Saudi Arabia on the pretext that it is not used against civilians is a clear hypocrisy to evade crimes.
In a tweet, he called on France and the countries involved with the alliance of aggression to stop the sale of arms to Riyadh and Abu Dhabi.
French President Emmanuel Macaron said, on Thursday, that "he bears the responsibility of selling French weapons to Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates," which could be deployed in Yemen, stressing his acquisition of "guarantees" that they would not be used against civilians.
On Thursday, two French human rights groups had sought to block the loading of weapons onto the Saudi vessel.
It came weeks after investigative website Disclose published leaked documents, showing Saudi Arabia was using French weapons, including tanks and laser-guided missile systems, against civilians in Yemen's war.
Faced with strong criticism, Macron admitted that the weapons were indeed being used in the war; but only within Saudi Arabia's border.
