'UK and US need to stop weapons supply to Yemen', Amnesty urges

Britain and America continue to sell arms to the Saudi-led coalition which are ending up with al Qaeda and IS, a report found.

The West needs to stop supplying weapons to fighters in the Yemen conflict, Amnesty International urged, after reports that arms are ending up with extremists.

"The proliferation of unaccountable" militias in Yemen, which is backed by the United Arab Emirates (UAE), is "worsening the humanitarian crisis and posing a growing threat to the civilian population," Amnesty research Patrick Wilcken said.
