Yemen: Emmanuel Macron must stop letting Saudi Arabia kill children











France, the “country of human rights” is no longer present, it has given in to finance. Yemen is the poorest country in the Arab world. It must face the permanent deadly aggressions by Arab countries with the complicity of France. F15 and 16 aircraft and non-conventional ammunition are used every day. A total embargo is still maintained. Emmanuel Macron must withdraw his license to kill.





The President of the Republic’s words are unsustainable. In 2011, France destroyed Libya in the name of human rights and today it is bogged down with arms sales to Saudi Arabia.

Since 2017, France, the United States and the United Kingdom have been participating in the destruction of Yemen. The only thing that matters to them is finance. Arms sales have brought in more than 10 billion euros for France. Its second major customer is Saudi Arabia.

The “country of human rights” is no longer present, it has given in to finance. Yemen is the poorest country in the Arab world. It must face the permanent deadly aggressions by Arab countries with the complicity of France. F15 and 16 aircraft and non-conventional minutiae are used every day. A total embargo is still maintained.

The President of the Republic, Emmanuel MACRON, will receive Sudanese Arabia at the first Paris Peace Forum. Despite the Khashoggi affair, despite the terrible conflict in Yemen, despite the millions of children on the brink of famine, France continues to sell arms. No parliamentary inquiry has been opened to shed light on France’s responsibility in Yemen.

For Emmanuel Macron, linking the recent murder of journalist Jamal Khashoggi to the conflict in Yemen would be “pure demagoguery”.

With regard to the sale of arms by France to Saudi Arabia, the question does not arise: “My agenda is not dictated by the media, whether you like it or not”. The UN guarantor of peace is powerless in the face of this genocide. The hungry population must compose on their own. As a reminder, more than 40% of the population requires emergency humanitarian aid, 7 million are threatened by famine and 1 million are affected by a cholera epidemic.

The country is paralyzed: lack of energy, more transport, more drinking water, electricity, functional hospitals. Made in USA and made in France set fire to schools, hospitals, places of worship, public places.

President Emmanuel Macron remains silent about the attitude of the Saudi Arabian-led coalition that is killing and sowing terror to make Yemen’s will bend, all this under the eyes of the world. This is unacceptable. It is thanks to petrodollar cheques that Riyadh, the richest country, crushes under the poorest Arab country with French and American weapons.

This “license to kill” must stop!!!!! The contenders for the title of humanist must react. The invitation maintained by France is an insult to international law. Saudi Arabia has no place in a forum for peace. This country is a dearler of death, let us not forget it…
