Arab League ‘concerned’ by ‘deteriorating’ Lebanon-Gulf ties
Al JazeeraAPR 2 2022
Kuwait, one of the more politically-open countries in the Gulf region, must maintain a delicate balance between the authority of the royal family and the elected parliament. Indeed, the country is in serious need of reforms. The constant political infighting between the royal family and government is putting the country's economic situation at risk and must be resolved.
Kuwait, like all the other Gulf monarchies, is an authoritarian state. Unlike the others, however, the country has a veneer of democracy that covers the ruling family's corruption, which is only hurting the country. Sheikh Meshal's interventions against the elected parliament will not lead to good results.
