Democratic Rights Prevail in Kuwait
April 17th, 2008 by Amanda
Shafeeq Ghabra at PostGlobal analyzes Kuwait’s recent dissolution of parliament that “reflects severe structural imbalances” within government. He cites sectarian rifts, administrative inconsistencies, and inadequate education as contributing factors in Kuwaiti divisions.
Although these concerns remain central to overall development and stability in the country, he states that Kuwait is ahead of other Middle Eastern states with regard to “democratic freedoms, transparency and rights,” adding, “Kuwaitis continue to exercise their right to speak their mind.” The Parliamentary elections scheduled next month will include a broader party participation than in previous times.
