Houthi to Jeremy Hunt: Where are the measures taken against the killing in Yemen ?

The head of the Supreme Revolutionary Committee, Mohamed Ali al-Houthi, criticized remarks of British Foreign Secretary Jeremy Hunt that made on Tuesday at the United States Institute for Peace

Jeremy Hunt said that his country is concerned about the situation in Yemen, claiming that his country had one of the world’s toughest arms sales regulations

Mohammed al Houthi asked  “Where are the measures taken against the killing in Yemen? adding sarcastically ” Or is the strictness passed by the bouns as a deal of Yamamah

Al Yamamah is the name of a series of record arms sales by the United Kingdom to Saudi Arabia, paid for by the delivery of up to 600,000 barrels (95,000 m3) of crude oil per day to the UK government. The prime contractor has been BAE Systems and its predecessor British Aerospace. The first sales occurred in September 1985 and the most recent contract for 72 Eurofighter Typhoon multirole fighters was signed in August 2006

Mike Turner, then CEO of BAE Systems, said in August 2005 that BAE and its predecessor had earned £43 billion in twenty years from the contracts and that it could earn £40 billion more.[2] It is Britain’s largest ever export agreement, and employs at least 5,000 people in Saudi Arabia.[3]

In 2010, BAE Systems pleaded guilty to a United States court, to charges of false accounting and making misleading statements in connection with the sales.[4] An investigation by the British Serious Fraud Office into the deal was discontinued after political pressure from the Saudi and British governments

Hundreds of millions of pounds worth of British-made missiles and bombs have been sold to Saudi Arabia for use in Yemen under an opaque licensing system that makes tracking arms sales that killed thousands of civilans in Yemen
