Canada holds back: To review equipment transaction with PHL because of Human Rights issue
Just recently, Philippines is trying to look for helicopters to use against rebels. Our country is now far different from the previous admins because we are on a phase where we go against weak military system as the new administration tries to protect Filipinos against rebellious groups such as Abu Sayyaf, NPA and ISIS.
A news yesterday seems to be contrary to what was first announced.
What now Canada?
Canada did the same thing when they sold helicopters in the Middle East. Similar to what was used against rebels and ISIS. In fact, they were the second biggest arms exporter declared last 2016.
What’s the difference now? Middle East used those to combat ISIS and rebel groups. How come now it becomes a human rights issue? I do hope Canada reconsiders. What are your thoughts about this?
Comment below!
Thanks for reading in advance
Magic eight ball says outlook is good.
I agree! The moment Canada talked about it, I felt disappointed. We have politics here in the PHL and the opposition are trying to do their best to meddle with everyone’s security by engaging illegal activities just like bringing bad impression to the world.
Yeah i totally agree in canada. which in their country human rights still prevail. I will do the same if i were in their position.
At some point, I do. But what’s the difference between selling in to the PHL and in the Middle east? Both purpose is to go after rebel groups.
I guess the reason why they holding or thinking it to sell in the philippines due that its the first time that we have a issues regarding judicial killing. And in politics Canada doesnt want to be part of that issue. I guess they are just playing safe :)
I agree. Let’s hope for the best anyway! 😂
yeah 😁😁 btw nice article
