UK’s complicity in Yemen conflict
Britain claims that the Saudi regime’s aggression against Yemeni people is legitimate, referring to Saudi rulers’ legal arguments.
They invoke Article 51 of the UN charter. Article 51 asserts that sovereign nations have the right to engage in self-defense, including collective self-defense when under attack.
Technically speaking, Article 51 governs international conflicts and not domestic disputes and is not applicable to Yemen’s case.
London also supports former Yemeni President Abd Rabbuh Hadi Mansour. The man has overstayed his term in office, resigned once and even fled his country, putting his legitimacy under serious question.
Meanwhile, London Portobello’s antique dealers are rubbing hand as the Yemeni conflict may provide them a new business opportunity.
According to reports, the war on Syria prospered British underground antiquities market.
A short walk in London Portobello with a keen eye can quickly expose how London has now turned to a fanfare for smuggled Syrian and Iraqi pillaged artifacts.
