KUWAIT’S NEW CROWN PRINCE APPOINTED BY SHEIKH MESHAL AL AHMAD AL JABER
KUWAIT — In a bold move, Kuwait’s emir Sheikh Meshal Al Ahmad Al Jaber has named Sheikh Sabah Khalid Al Sabah as the new crown prince, marking a significant shift in the country’s leadership. Sheikh Sabah, a 71-year-old veteran who previously held the positions of prime minister and foreign minister, is set to take on this new role after nearly six months since Sheikh Meshal’s ascent to the throne.
The announcement, reported by KUNA news agency, did not offer any additional details or statements from Kuwait’s emir. The decision comes amid a backdrop of political turmoil, with Sheikh Meshal recently dissolving parliament for a period of up to four years due to widespread dysfunction within the government. This move is expected to bring about a wave of change and reform in Kuwait’s political landscape. — Agencies
