Somaliland President Condoles Kuwait over Amir’s Demise

Somaliland President Muse Bihi Abdi has sent his condolence to the people of Kuwait following the loss of their amir who died Tuesday night in the USA. The President described him as an amir with wisdom and humanity.

The President said in a tweet that he is deeply saddened by the death of His Highness Sheikh Sabah Al-Ahmad Al-Jaber Al-Sabah, Amir of Kuwait.

Bihi defined the late Amir of Kuwait as a leader with Wisdom and humanity. The country’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs also said that it extends its heartfelt condolences to the government and people of Kuwait over the tragic loss of the life of Sabah al-Ahmad al-Jaber al-Sabah and that their thoughts and prayers are with the people of Kuwait.

Kuwait’s 91-year-old Emir Sabah al-Ahmad al-Jaber al-Sabah died on Tuesday after decades as a leading figure in the oil-rich gulf nation. His 83-year-old half-brother, Crown Prince Sheikh Nawaf al-Ahmed, has been named by the cabinet as his successor.

In July, Sheikh Sabah was flown to the United States for medical treatment following surgery for an unspecified condition in Kuwait that month. He had ruled the oil-rich gulf Arab state since 2006 and had overseen its foreign policy for more than 50 years.
