SANAA – Jan. 27 (YPA) – Finland was reportedly on Friday to halt all arms sales to the United Arab Emirates after images have emerged showing the UAE using Finnish-made weapons in Yemen’s civil war.
All eight candidates in Finland’s presidential elections vowed this week to halt arms sales to the UAE if elected in February, the website stated.
The announcement came after a public outcry over images published earlier this month that showed the Emiratis using a Finnish made armored vehicle in Yemen’s civil war.
