War Starts Here ! Activists outside the DSEI Arms Fair

            On Tuesday 14 September demonstrators protested outside the DSEI arms fair at EXCEL in East London on the first day it opened. Heavy rain didn't act as much of a deterrent to the dozens of activists who turned up. 

The Arms Fair acts as a shop window attracts arms purchases from some of the worst authoritarian regimes in the world. Britain continues to act as a major weapons exporter to Saudi Arabia (which is conducting a deadly bombing campaign over Yemen), Egypt (which continues to wage a murderous counter insurgency campaign in Sinai), Israel which for the last 14 years has imposed a devastating blockade on Gaza and launched air assaults rendering tens of thousands of Gazans homeless and Bahrain which heavily relies on British equipment and training to prevent any progress to a more democratic government which would allow the majority Shia population (sympathetic to Iran) to have a majority say on policy.
