Vedi Remembering the martyrs of Kuwait - H.S. Vedi / The Times Every year we remember with pain and grief the Second of August, the day the tyrant of Baghdad caused panic and wrought destruction in this peaceful country. The martyrs who laid down their lives during the painful occupation have earned for themselves a place in the hearts of citizens and will be fondly remembered on every Aug 2. It was on this day that Iraqi forces poured across the border into Kuwait and took control of Kuwait City. As we remember our martyrs of Kuwait who fell prey to the invading Iraqi army on August 2, some 19 years ago, we see how Saddam Hussain scuttled the doors of diplomacy in his arrogance of power. I remember that horrific day when Iraqi army setting aside all norms of civilisation invaded this peaceful country, killing anyone who came on their way. They had one agenda to destroy Kuwait and despite world diplomacy, which unfolded to make Saddam see reason, they all failed. But with the blessings of the Royal family who offered full resistance while in exile Kuwait was liberated On this day, I would offer my heartfelt condolence to the Royal family, family of the martyr and to all those who with their heroic resistance stood up against Saddam forces. We also pray for the long life and good health of the Royal family so they continue to guide not only the Kuwaiti but also to the expat population who live under their shelter and umbrella. Saddam has met his nemeses but it is a lesson for a civilized world not to sunk in power and follows the law of the jungle. There is a message all nations must take on August 2. ________________________________________ The Times: The Times is Kuwait’s premier weekly newspaper and H.S.
