Beihilfe zur Hungersnot (II)
Die Bundesrepublik setzt entgegen anderslautenden Ankündigungen die Aufrüstung Saudi-Arabiens fort und beliefert die saudische Küstenwache mit Patrouillenbooten. Vergangene Woche sind zwei solche Boote aus der Wolgaster Peene-Werft nach Saudi-Arabien ausgeschifft worden; sie sind Teil eines rund 1,5 Milliarden Euro umfassenden Deals, der die Lieferung von mehr als 100 Booten an die Küstenwache sowie die Marine des Landes umfasst.

Die Lieferung erfolgt, obwohl Riad im Jemen einen weltweit heftig kritisierten Krieg führt und das Land mit einer Seeblockade abschottet, die eine verheerende Hungersnot ausgelöst hat und eine grassierende Cholera-Epidemie verschärft. Für die Seeblockade kann Saudi-Arabien vermehrt auf deutsche Patrouillenboote zurückgreifen.
