KUWAIT: A coalition of political groups in the Iraqi Parliament has called on Kuwait to review its stance towards Baghdad to avoid more tension in the region.
Iraqi MP Jawad Al-Bolani called upon Kuwait yesterday to review its position on Iraq, warning that if Kuwait continues its current policy, which he said is harmful to Iraq, this could might create a state of tension in the region. He added that threatening language does not solve problems, adding that pausing and resolving all outstanding problems is the only guarantee of building good relations between the neighbors.
In the run up to the bitter pillaging of Kuwait by Iraq two decades ago on August 2, 1991, a day which will forever be etched in Kuwaitis’ collective memory, both sides, especially Iraq, seem to have not buried the hatchet.
On the contrary, a Cold war between the two rivals is brewing. This comes at a very critical juncture and brought out all the pent-up anger and the frustrations harboured by Kuwaitis.
It reminds Kuwaitis their problem was not with Saddam Hussain, who is long dead and buried, but rather with Iraq as a system, entity, neighbour and people. This is unfortunate, especially with the seeming thaw of tensions and high-level visits by officials of both countries in the last few months. Kuwait’s Prime Minister Shaikh Nasser Al Mohammad Al Sabah visited Iraq in January and Iraq’s Prime Minister Nouri Al Maliki visited Kuwait in a symbolic gesture to mark Kuwait’s celebration of its 50th anniversary of independence and, more importantly, the 20th anniversary of liberation from Iraq’s occupation.
