Kuwaitis mark 35th anniversary of Iraqi invasion, remember global support
KUWAIT: Kuwaitis mark on August second, Saturday, the 35th anniversary of the Iraqi invasion of the country, a grave historical happening that led the world to unite and rid the State of Kuwait of its invaders. Most countries around the world condemned the heinous crime carried out against the Kuwaiti people as the brutal Iraqi invasion resulted in incidents of death and destruction against the peaceful people of Kuwait. Those who lived in Kuwait's darkest hour will vividly remember how the Iraqi army wreaked havoc, closed vital roads and destroyed infrastructure and properties, inflicting horrors on people. Despite the dire situation, Kuwaitis took a stance and rose above their adversaries, fighting back with all their might to liberate their land. Kuwaiti women played a great role in the resistance, as they delivered and provided supplies and weapons to the men to defend their homeland, in addition to participating in military operations to liberate Kuwait. Forming resistance groups tasked with fighting the invaders and providing services to the people of the country, Kuwaitis and residents alike took the helm and opposed the Iraqi army. While Kuwaitis were fighting from within, the government—led by the late Amir Sheikh Jaber Al-Ahmad AlJaber Al-Sabah and Crown Prince and Prime Minister Sheikh Saad Al-Abdullah Al-Salem Al-Sabah—gathered international support to bring back Kuwait to its people. Permanent members of the United Nations Security Council (UNSC) took a unified stance and adopted on August second resolution 660.

' In accordance with the resolution, Arab and international delegations met in Saudi Arabia to formulate a coalition to thwart the invaders, a step that was achieved in February 1991. Kuwait's global position as a peaceful and generous nation since independence had helped gather support for its just cause. — KUNA

35 Years On: Kuwait Remembers The 1990 Iraqi Invasion And Its Path To Liberation
KUWAIT CITY, Aug 1: On Friday, August 2nd, Kuwait commemorates the 35th anniversary of the Iraqi invasion—an event that not only marked a dark chapter in the nation's history but also rallied the international community in a unified effort to liberate the country from occupation. The brutal invasion by Iraqi forces in 1990 drew widespread global condemnation, with many nations denouncing the act as a grave violation of international law and a heinous assault on Kuwait's sovereignty. The aggression resulted in widespread death, destruction, and human suffering for the peaceful people of Kuwait. Those who lived through the invasion vividly recall the chaos unleashed by the Iraqi military—major roads were blocked, infrastructure was destroyed, and homes and properties were ravaged, leaving civilians to endure unimaginable hardships. Yet, amid this turmoil, Kuwaitis stood resilient. Citizens rose in defiance, forming resistance movements to fight back and support their homeland's liberation. Kuwaiti women played a vital role in this resistance, delivering supplies and weapons, and even participating directly in military operations alongside men. Both Kuwaitis and expatriates joined forces in forming underground networks that provided essential services, resisted the occupiers, and helped maintain a spirit of unity and determination. While the resistance unfolded on the ground, Kuwait's leadership—under the late Amir Sheikh Jaber Al-Ahmad Al-Jaber Al-Sabah and Crown Prince and Prime Minister Sheikh Saad Al-Abdullah Al-Salem Al-Sabah—worked tirelessly on the international stage to rally support for the country's liberation. On August 2, 1990, the United Nations Security Council passed Resolution 660, condemning the invasion and demanding Iraq's immediate and unconditional withdrawal. The resolution also called for urgent negotiations and endorsed efforts by the League of Arab States to resolve the crisis. Following the resolution, Arab and international leaders convened in Saudi Arabia to form a coalition, which successfully liberated Kuwait in February 1991. Kuwait's longstanding reputation as a peaceful and generous nation since gaining independence helped garner widespread global support for its cause. Today, as the country reflects on its past, it also honors the resilience of its people, the sacrifices made by countless individuals, and the enduring value of international unity in the face of aggression.
