Kuwait has sworn in its new emir, Sheikh Nawaf al-Ahmad al-Sabah, to receive the body of his half-brother, the late ruler Sheikh Sabah al-Ahmad al-Jaber al-Sabah who died in the United States at the age of 91.
The body of Sheikh Sabah, an acclaimed diplomat and mediator who ruled for 14 years, is expected to arrive in Kuwait City later on Wednesday. He died on Tuesday in Minnesota where he had been undergoing treatment in hospital since July.
The new leader is popular within the ruling al-Sabah family and is reported to have been a consensus choice for ruler. He also enjoys a reputation for modesty and has largely maintained a low profile.

All arab countries’ people’s dress are same.
Duh
That’s traditional outfit dummy
There is a difference if you really know the design… It’s like saying all Asian looks the same or all European look the same
It’s the same way all European wear the same clothes
Thats like saying all the western officials wear the same coat and tie everyday
RIP sheikh Sabah a wonderful man and wise leader, my deepest sympathies to the royal family and the people of Kuwait.
Jack McInerney thanks man
Thx
Thank you.

Thanks, 🙏 🦋
You don’t need royals to rule over you, unless you dumb.
Ya we need to be smart like the western democratic countries and throw tantrums when asked to wear a mask for the consideration of others… Start claiming the virus doesn’t exist even when your own doctors and nurses are telling you all this…yes…Please keep showing us how smart and superior you are 🙂 you are looking like absolute geniuses in the eyes of the world! Keep it up!
R I P emir ulkuwait Sheikh Sabah Ahmad All sabah he was a great man
Another dictator
leather Guy no
Kuwait is democratic but no election
I’m an Iranian who lives in Kuwait and has been living here for over 17 years now. Kuwait is a monarchy, Not dictatorship. Moreover, We’re all happy with our political system here. We’d rather have a family that rules us with love and freedom, than presidents that take the wealth and leave after 4 years such as the U.S, Iran and etc.
Kuwait has always been ruled by the Sabah Family and will forever be.
ruffih Westerners will never understand the stability Gulf monarchies bring to the world. If islamists take over .. it will be a disaster.
Insha ALLAH saudi qatar Turkey kuwait unites
Muzz a inshal Allah
Not with Turkey , Kuwait + Saudi Arabia + Qatar are Arab brothers regardless of politics
Allah paak slamt rkhe
Kuwait ❤️❤️
Qatar ❤️❤️
Stfu katar
Simple funeral.🙏🙏
Respect ❤️❤️❤️
waıt so he went to US fortreatment ???????? ı thought they had enough money to construct the best hospıtals wıth the best doctors
Kuwait was a British colony carved out of Ottoman Iraq.
UK sold it to US for loans During WW2.
Now it is nothing but a US colony ruled by Puppets.
We do indeed have the best healthcare here, getting our tools and medicine from the U.S and the U.K. However, Kuwait sends its Important people such as Sheikhs and such, to the U.S, Where the Best doctors live to be treated by them over there.
kuwait might have great equipment but the actual doctor talent is not as good as foreign countries
@Y AB How do you say so? We have Public and Private hospitals here. Private ones are far more advanced and better than public ones. Moreover, if you’re in critical condition, the private hospital will get you the best doctors in the world, to Kuwait (Of course, this is mostly for sheikhs or wealthy people here in Kuwait)
জসীম কুয়েত আমিন

How much did they sell it for ?
Kuwait was a self ruling independent entity, the ottomans never ruled Kuwait, its illogical and retarded to say kuwaits belong to Iraq, as Iraq was already belonged to the ottomans, while the ottomans never touched Kuwait. Lol 😂
RIP praying for the family and nation
He was such a nice man
LOL
Shut up
Dog
May ALLAH rest Him in pardes.
Ameen
Im half Kuwaiti 🇰🇼 😭, Long live the Nation of Kuwait!
🥺🥺🥺💔
WOW!!! Here is the end of Kuwait. As we know. Bye Ppl
The new Emir is a good man. He has lost weight since last I see him. Even though we did not physically meet. I did see him in person and one of his many cousins that once was a good friend of mine spoke highly of him. I wish him well and many blessings in all his future endeavors.
Young Blood at 83 years old does not exactly instill confidence.
إِنَّا لِلّهِ وَإِنَّـا إِلَيْهِ رَاجِعونَ

I’m sorry, but GOD promised “Israel” to the jewish people (In the Bible & Torah) and “Al-Aqsa Mosque” (Islam) is a place in heaven and not in Jerusalem! Jerusalem don’t mentioned even once in the book of Islam (The Quran) Jerusalem belongs to the jews and the “third temple” should be build in the “temple mount” in Jerusalem, Israel!
Perfect ❤️🇺🇸🇮🇱💙
The Hoi4 Senate Kardashian sisters were also mentioned in that book!
Ice Queen i looked in the quran u are an idiot the karashian sisters are not mentioned israel is killing alot of palestinians
Ice Queen and ur lying cause the karashian sisters were not mentioned troll
