Germany’s part in Syria, Yemen exposed in billboards

SANAA, June 8 (YPA) – Anti-war and pro-peace organizations in Germany launched a new campaign titled “Action Outcry – Stop Weapons Trade”, to expose the role of German weapons in Syria and Yemen wars through billboards.

Posters depicting the invasion in Afrin and the war in Yemen’s Aden and Saada provinces were prepared to draw attention to the cooperation between German weapons manufacturers and Turkey and Saudi Arabia.

Furthermore, the posters show the Turkish army and their allied gangs setting fire to a car in Afrin in Rojava Kurdistan, a burned down house in Aden and a child victim of the war in Saada, and were put up on the Französische Straße metro station in Berlin where the government buildings are situated.

The posters will stay up until June 17, exposing to the German public how the weapons trade affects the rest of the world.

The campaign aims for an embargo that would ban weapons sales by the Federal Government to countries like Turkey and Saudi Arabia as well as other countries engaged in wars, and draws particular attention to the invasion of Afrin.
