ألا بذكر الله تطمئن القلوب

 

Is a sovereign Arab emirate situated in the northeast of the Arabian Peninsula in Western Asia. It is bordered by Saudi Arabia to the south and Iraq to the north and lies on the northwestern shore of the Persian Gulf. The name Kuwait is derived from the Arabic "akwat", the plural of "kout", meaning fortress built near water. The emirate covers an area of 20,000 square kilometres (6,880 sq mi) and has a population of about 3.0 million.

Historically, the region was the site of Characene, a major Parthian port for trade between India and Mesopotamia. The Bani Utbah tribe were the first permanent Arab settlers in the region and laid the foundation of the modern emirate. By 19th century, Kuwait came under the influence of the Ottoman Empire and after the World War I, it emerged as an independent sheikhdom under the protection of the British Empire. Kuwait's large oil fields were discovered in the late 1930s. After it gained independence from the United Kingdom in 1961, the nation's oil industry saw unprecedented growth. In 1990, Kuwait was invaded and annexed by neighboring Iraq. The seven month-long Iraqi occupation came to an end after a direct military intervention by United States-led forces. Nearly 773 Kuwaiti oil wells were set ablaze by the retreating Iraqi army resulting in a major environmental and economic catastrophe. Kuwait's infrastructure was badly damaged during the war and had to be rebuilt.

Kuwait is a constitutional monarchy with a parliamentary system of government, with Kuwait City serving as the country's political and economic capital. The country has the world's fifth largest oil reserves and petroleum and petroleum products now account for nearly 95% of export revenues, and 80% of government income. Kuwait is the eleventh richest country in the world per capita and has the highest human development index (HDI) in the Arab world.[10] Kuwait is classified as a high income economy by the World Bank and is designated as a major non-NATO ally of the United States.

 

History

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_Kuwait

 

Geography

Kuwait is situated in Southwest Asia, bordering the Persian Gulf, between Iraq and Saudi Arabia. Once a small Persian Gulf sheikhdom known locally as a center for pearl diving and boat construction, Kuwait came to international prominence in the post-World War II era largely because of its enormous oil revenues. Yet its history as an autonomous political entity is much older, dating back to the eighteenth century. At that time, the town of Kuwait was settled by migrants from central Arabia who arrived at what was then a lightly populated fishing village under the suzerainty of the Bani Khalid tribe of Arabia. Members of one family, the Al Sabah, have ruled Kuwait from that time.

 

Since2009 Kuwait has been ruled by Shaykh Jabir al Ahmad al Jabir Al Sabah and his designated successor, Shaykh Saad al Abd Allah as Salim Al Sabah, the prime minister and crown prince. In the postwar period, these men have supported, with some ambivalence, the strengthening of popular participation in decision making as provided for in the constitution.

 

Kuwait is located at the far northwestern corner of the Persian Gulf. It is a small state of about 200.000 square kilometers, a little smaller than the state of New Jersey. At its most distant points, it is about 200 kilometers north to south and 170 kilometers east to west.

Description Flag:

The flag of Kuwait (Arabic: علم الكويت) was adopted on September 7, 1961 and officially hoisted November 24, 1961.

Red are our swords

Horizontally: The green stripe should be on top.

Coat of arms:

The Coat of arms of Kuwait (Arabic: شعار الكويت) was adopted in 1962 and it consists of the shield of the flag design in color superimposed on a falcon with wings displayed. The falcon supports a disk containing a sailing ship (dhow) with the full name of the State written (in Arabic) at the top of the disk.

The dhow is a symbol of the maritime tradition of the country and is also found in the national coats of arms of Qatar and the United Arab Emirates. The falcon is a symbol of the Banu Quraish line, to which the prophet Muhammad belonged and is likewise found in many coats of arms of the Arabian Peninsula.

The coat of arms replaced an older emblem with a falcon and two crossed flags.

 

National Anthem: Al-Nasheed Al-Watani, Arabic: النشيد الوطني, meaning "National Anthem".

Blessed be my Country a homeland for harmony,

Warded by true sentry giving their soils aptly,

Dedication to the couple who didn't make me feel like the third wheel while my stay in Malay

Dr. Farahanaz Faisal as the Maldivian High Commissioner for the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland

 

Mr. Abdul Azeez Yoosuf as the Maldivian High Commissioner for India

 

Addressing the two newly appointed High Commissioners, President Nasheed said the country’s foreign policy was undergoing some changes, with economic and commercial diplomacy as its main focus. Furthermore, he said seeking foreign investments was a top priority of the government and that foreign missions would need to work to attract foreign investments to the country.

  

People gathered at the "Vathan Edhey Gothah" MDP ithihaadh's final meeting. praying to god to save them from the hands of the dictator.

Maldives has a long history of a 30 year old dictatorship.

I hope the people of this country will think for the future & will not give this dictator another chance...

This isnt a rainy day...da sky is kool...clear...but what r those...

A supporter of Muhammad Nasheed, ex president of Maldives, argues with the police after Nasheed is arrested. Male. Maldives. 2012

To start off, the past two weeks have been amazing! The first event WWBCT was a great time, an event that wound up being smaller than what I had imagined. I liked the event as it was small and intimate. By intimate, I mean, you could talk to everyone and still not miss something that was going on. I got to see some friends that I talk to all year long and we had brought the first, smaller part of Ramadi together. The collab turned out great for the small event, where we also got an award for "Most iconic scene" which we were honored to receive. At the event, I was able to see some people like Will, Dan and Lando as well as meeting some other members of the brickmania crew as they would not be at the next week's convention. The best person I met during the whole trip had to be Nikita, a friend I've made for life. A great guy all around and a fucking alpha full blood.

 

Within the next few days we just came back down to Baltimore, and hung out until Brickfair.

 

I'm not going to write a whole lot about Brickfair, not about the builds but the great times I had with friends. The only thing about the builds is that we were nominated for best military and lost by only five votes. We also got interviewed by Beyond The Brick. The biggest highlights were; having Gage being able to attend,the Nasheed mixed with Skrillex, not red's apple ale or jungle juice, cards against humanity and Codey and Nikita trying to fight eachother over a blanket. Anyhow, this year is in the books and was overal great!

It would be hard to find a more vulnerable place than the Maldives, the lowest lying country in the world, meriting its own entry in the Guinness Book of Records. Every one of the Maldives' 1200 islands, 200 of them inhabited, are suffering from erosion. On all but one, one can see coconut and Pandanus trees lying dead in the sea after the sand holding their roots washed away.

 

"For the Maldives, 350 is more than just a number: it is a passport to survival for our entire nation" - Quote from an email from His Excellency President Mohamed Nasheed of Maldives to the Global Work Party 101010

Ibrahim Nasir, credited with ushering in independence to the Maldives as prime minister and then serving as its first president has died. Nasir, 82, died in Singapore on Saturday after a long illness

 

Nasir served as the island nation's president from 1968 to 1978. It had been a British protectorate. His successor, Maumoon Abdul Gayoom, ruled for the next 30 years, becoming the longest-serving leader in Asia before he was unseated this year by a former political prisoner, Mohamed Nasheed

Explored!!! #116 on 29th Oct 2008

 

Opposition leader Mohamed Nasheed (Anni) has won a run-off election to become the new president of the Maldives, say official preliminary results. Mr Nasheed's victory follows the country's first democratic presidential elections. He will replace Asia's longest-serving leader, Maumoon Abdul Gayoom. President Gayoom won the first round earlier this month, but failed to secure the 50% needed for outright victory over Mr Nasheed.

  

Rising sea levels and coastal erosion are causing widespread damage in the Maldives. Our leaders have had their message sent across the world, hope the world has listened to our plight.

 

“Kyoto divided the world. It divided us between rich and poor, developed and developing, Annex 1 and non-Annex 1. Our task now is to unite the world, behind the shared vision of low-carbon growth. The Maldives is trying to lead the way. I call on every country in the room to join us, not just for the sake of the Maldives, but for all of us who live on this beautiful planet”

President Mohamed Nasheed in his Statement to the Joint High-level segment of COP15 and CMP5 in Copenhagen in September 2009.

 

“It is not too late to save the world. It is not too late to save the Maldives and other low-lying island nations. Only the vital collective commitment is missing”

President M. A. Gayoom at the 42nd Session of the United Nations General Assembly on the Special Debate on Environment and Development on 19 October 1987.
