MPs voted overwhelmingly to accept a request by Foreign Minister Sheikh Sabah Al- Khaled Al-Sabah to delete the first issue of the grilling about the Yemen war because it was deemed unconstitu- tional. Forty-five MPs voted in favor of the request, nine against and two abstained. Six of the seven Shiite MPs in the 50-seat house voted against the request. The deleted issue held the foreign minister responsible for Kuwait’s participation in the Saudi-led airstrikes against Yemen’s Houthi rebels and its allies. MPs supporting the request said that the part of the grilling on the Yemen war breach- es the constitution since declaring wars is a sovereign issue that rests in the hands of HH the Amir. They also pointed out that the issue should be removed for public interest, a clear reference to fears that its debate could trigger sectari- an tensions in the country amid sectarian wars raging in the region. Dashti strongly defended his position, saying that he should be allowed to talk on the issue because the consti- tution gives the Assembly the right to contribute to the decision on wars. As he was making his point, pro-govern- ment MP Hamad Al-Harashani attempted to attack him, but he was restrained by several MPs. Harashani also clashed with a number of other Shiite MPs.

We have been deprived of the cricket we would normally read about in the July edition. Two things came to the rescue. The first has nothing to do with ‘lockdown’. It lies in the fact that this year sees the fortieth anniversary of the founding of the Southern Group, so we have taken the chance to reflect on this. The second, and less expected factor influencing this issue, however, is probably directly related to lockdown.
