The Guardian daily posted an article on Monday urging Britain to stop arms sales that “are fuelling a cruel and pointless war” in Yemen.

Entitled “The Guardian view on Yemen: stop helping the killing,” the article called on the British government to stop selling weapons to Riyadh that is leading the coalition war on Yemen since more than 18 months.

The newspaper noted that since the Saudi-US war broke out in March 2015 at least 10,000 have died, including 4,000 civilians.

The article highlighted that the UK has licensed £3.3bn worth of sales to Saudi Arabia since the war on Yemen began, while it boasts of increasing aid by £37m.
