For most of the people in the world, February is just a month that passes by just like any other month. In Kuwait though it’s not!

February in Kuwait is when everyone celebrates, and recently, even buildings started to celebrate.

Why?

Kuwait declared its independence on June 19, 1961.

A draft constitution was approved on November 11, 1961, outlining Kuwait’s system of governance as a “fully independent Arab State with a democratic style of government, where sovereignty rests with the nation, which is the source of power”. Al Diwan Al Amiri

February 25th, was declared as the National Day after the death of Sheikh Abdullah Al Salem Al Sabah in 1965 since his reign was so central to the evolution of modern Kuwait

and February 25th was the date he ascended the throne in 1950.

February 26th, Kuwait was liberated by Gulf War allies in 1991, from Iraqi invasion as Saddam Hussein ordered his troops to withdraw from Kuwait City.

 

Now, this is how Kuwait looks like in February!
