Making money in Syria

An estimated 250,000 people have been killed in the Syrian war. Another seven million people are displaced within Syria and 4.1 million have left the country.

In the meantime the four big arms exporters are United States, Russia, China and Germany.

Last year the German government gave licences to the value of €3.94 billion to companies exporting arms.

In the last few days Russia has deployed fighter jets, Sukhoi SU-24s and SU-25s in Syria.
