On August 2nd, Kuwait solemnly observes the 35th anniversary of the Iraqi invasion of 1990, a devastating event that plunged the nation into turmoil and prompted a historic global response. The invasion, widely condemned as a violation of international law, inflicted immense suffering on Kuwaiti citizens and caused extensive damage to the country’s infrastructure and sovereignty.
Eyewitnesses recall the devastation caused by advancing Iraqi forces—blocked roads, destroyed buildings, and families displaced from their homes. Despite these hardships, Kuwaitis demonstrated remarkable resilience. Local resistance groups emerged, determined to reclaim their nation’s freedom. Women, too, played a key role in the resistance, smuggling supplies, delivering weapons, and joining men in acts of defiance and defense.
This anniversary stands as a tribute to Kuwait's strength, unity, and the collective efforts—both domestic and international—that led to the country’s liberation and the restoration of its independence.
