Stop Fuelling War is a French association set up in 2017 to raise awareness about, and campaign against, the arms trade in France, particularly the Paris arms fair Eurosatory. We are building on 20 years of Quaker witness outside Eurosatory and are supported by a network of French and European pacifist or anti-militarist groups. Our goal is to build bridges between the arms trade and military and non-military alternatives, as well as the transformation of the arms industry. We use Quaker approaches and welcome the participation of people of all faiths and none. The guiding principles are peace, justice, equality, integrity, respect for the environment, and simplicity. We treat with respect the participants at the arms fair, acknowledging that we all need security and employment.
First of all, it is important to say that France is the third largest arms exporter in the world, after the United States and Russia. Since 2012, France has delivered more than 24.6 billion euros worth of arms around the world. Its best client is Egypt, which received 25% of French arms exports over the period 2013-2017, despite the decision of the European Union to suspend arms sales to the dictatorial regime of General al-Sisi.
