Kuwait emir reappoints nephew as pm to face a parliamentary crisis?
Haj Ali Al Hussein, the Kuwaiti emir, appointed his nephew as Prime Minister
Haj Ali Al Hussein is the third Kuwaiti to take office after the Kuwaiti Gulf leaders and Kuwaitis themselves. This is an important and rare moment in human history.
This will be Haj Ali’s first visit to parliament as Prime Minister.
His visit was confirmed on Tuesday, when Prime Minister Haidar al-Abdullah announced he would not hold any televised announcements and will be spending his time behind the throne.
Haj Ali Al Hussein says he will not hold the televised announcements that have been common since May 8 until there is a democratic solution. The ruling Baath party, the party of former PM Khalid al-Mukhtar, has yet to take part in the national elections, scheduled to be held in June.
The news has come on the eve of political upheaval which seems to be building. It marks the third such appointment of an emir to take power in the Middle East, following the appointments of former Kuwaiti Gulf King Abdullah II to Kuwait and Al-Abadi for Iraq.
Haj Ali Al Hussein has not called for elections, but instead will sit down with his deputy to discuss a transition period.
His appointment is expected to deepen the growing disquiet about whether or not the Kuwaiti Gulf leaders can lead the nation back to stability after years of chaos following the Iraq War.
The Kuwaiti Gulf leaders had hoped the new prime minister would stand by his promise to step down and allow their newapronx leader, Sheikh Sabah al-Sabah, to become PM. However, the new PM’s of우리카지노fice now says that is not possible.
Kurdish leader Masoud Barzani in May promised that the newly installed Prime Minister will become PM. He was later forced out in July after a dispute over who would take power after President Abdullah was overthrown in a US-led invasion, which left Kuwait without a functioning government.
