The German government says it has halted previously approved arms exports to Saudi Arabia amid the fallout from the killing of Saudi journalist Jamal Khashoggi.

Germany said a month ago it wouldnt approve any new weapons exports to Saudi Arabia, but left open what would happen with already approved contracts.

Germanys economy ministry oversees the authorization of arms exports. Ministry spokesman Philipp Jornitz said Monday that the German government is working with those who have valid authorizations with the result that there are currently no (weapons) exports from Germany to Saudi Arabia.

Also on Monday, Germanys foreign minister said Berlin has banned 18 Saudi nationals from entering Europes border-free Schengen zone because they are believed connected to Khashoggis killing. Heiko Maas said there are still more questions than answers.

Maas told reporters in Brussels on Monday that Germany issued the ban for the 26-nation zone in close coordination with France, which is part of the Schengen area, and Britain, which is not.

He says as before, there are more questions than answers in this case, with the crime itself and who is behind it.

Maas says the 18 are Saudis who are allegedly connected to this crime but gave no further information.

In Berlin his office said they cant release the names due to German privacy protections.


Good for them. Now if only other countries would follow suit.

The USA is included in other countries yes.

But it's not just the USA that is dealing Saudi Arabia.

Sorting by Import Numbers.

The top 5 are (in order):

China, US, Germany, Japan, Korea.

UK, France, and Italy are in the top 10.

France has the best chance at following Germany's move followed by the UK.

What would be different? SA already funds terrorism with the weapons they buy from the west.

Hm, perhaps I should shift focus to weapons sales now that they'll be looking for a new supplier.

I don't understand. Did the Saudi operatives use a tank to kill the journalist?

What does Germany think it's going to achieve?

The most urgent gun control needed in America is related to our out of control weapon sales to foreign countries, support for jihadis in places like Syria and Libya, and military aid to Israel.

That's kind of surprising to me actually. I guess you have a point.
