Kuwait’s parliament Speaker Marzoug Ali Al-Ghanim said Thursday that the memory of the 1990 Iraqi invasion on Kuwait is a chance “for us to remember our lessons towards our nation.”
The speaker made his remarks ahead of the annual memorial of the Iraqi invasion over Kuwait back in 1990, said, “We might be busy all year long with our lives and get carried away, but on the 2nd of August we should take a moment with ourselves to rearrange our priorities towards our country.” “The Iraqi invasion was very bitter but it has been a true test for our patriotism and revealed our true identity, it has taught us a lot,” he continued. “We do not forget our martyrs who sacrificed their lives for this country, and our Arab and Muslim brothers who stood by us through this crisis,” he added. Al-Ghanim concluded his statement by asking Allah Almighty to protect Kuwait, to preserve his grace “upon us” and wished Kuwait more development and prosperity.
