Dr. Haddad explained, “Once I observed a man from Tribe A entering a large office. That man didn’t desire to wait in line and simply came to the center of the room and loudly shouted, ‘Who here is from Tribe A?’”
“One employee raised his hand.”
“The man from Tribe A simply walked over and gave the employee his form and this employee was thus obligated to not only fill out the form for the fellow tribesmen—but he’d have to make sure that the whole application was completed in the fellow tribesmen’s favor. Otherwise this employee of Tribe A would find that his honor before his tribe would be in doubt.”
NO WONDER
No wonder so many people who claim Kuwaiti nationality are now growing up oblivious to the needs and feelings of all others outside their tribes—i.e. a condition that threatens Kuwait as a nation state!
With such shallow definitions of honor, no tribal child who attacks a non-Kuwaiti would ever imagine being jailed as an adult for doing so!
It is high time the government of Kuwait either (1) ends tribalism by expanding the number of non-Arab citizens—or (2) demands an end to tribes permanently in government—by banning tribes altogether as illegal parties, i.e. depriving them of impunity before police and their representation in the national pie.
