Tom Allinson and Lewis Sanders IV, DW: Western arms exports fuel conflict in Middle East, North Africa
The US and its European allies make up nearly three-quarters of all arms transfers to the Middle East and North Africa, a new report found. Experts say arms exports to the region fuel conflict and human rights abuses.
Over the past five years, Western countries' exports made up the bulk of weapons delivered to the Middle East and North Africa, according to a report published this week by the Washington-based Center for International Policy (CIP).
The US leads the way, with a share of nearly 50% of all arms transfers to the region, while France, the UK, Germany and Italy constitute 24%. Russia was the second-largest single arms supplier to the region, trailing behind the US with 17% of the global arms export market to the region.

The media reacts quickly and with righteous indignation when a black person is shot by police, or by someone white, no matter what the facts of the case are.
But far too often, even in the most heinous of cases, when the perpetrator is black and the victim or victims happen to be white, the headlines and reporting are not anywhere near the same.
Police say the gunman shot four adults and the boy in the living room at a home in the 100 block of Perry St. about 1:55 a.m. Monday.
The 4-year-old child, Rowan Sweeney, died at the scene.
The boy died in his mother’s arms, police said.
What remains sad is how silent the mainstream media has largely been on the story. Imagine if the suspect was white and the four-year-old was black.

It tells you a lot about those those modern day "Der Stürmers" and their racist loyal readers.
