Kuwait Mourns Loss of Emir Sheikh Nawaf

Kuwait's Emir Sheikh Nawaf al-Ahmad al-Jaber al-Sabah passed away at 86. The announcement was made by Kuwait state television, with the minister of the emiri court, Sheikh Mohammed Abdullah al-Sabah, mourning his death without disclosing the cause. He had been hospitalized for an unspecified illness in November. His half-brother, Meshaal al-Ahmad al-Jaber al-Sabah, the deputy ruler and crown prince aged 83, is in line to succeed. Sheikh Nawaf became emir in 2020 after the death of Sheikh Sabah al-Ahmad al-Sabah. His tenure focused on domestic issues, including an overhaul of the welfare system. In 2021, he issued an amnesty decree pardoning nearly three dozen Kuwaiti dissidents, and another amnesty decree was issued before his illness. Kuwait, with a population of 4.2 million and the world's sixth-largest oil reserves, hosts approximately 13,500 American troops and serves as the forward headquarters of the US Army in the Middle East.
