It has been a full month of festivities, with the annual Hala February shopping festival, open outdoor markets, exhibitions, cultural and musical events, entertainment shows for families, and much more, culminating in the celebration of National day on 25th February and Liberation Day on 26th February with parades and airshows.
Today Kuwait celebrates the 25th anniversary of Liberation Day. Yes, it's been 25 years since Kuwait was liberated from the six month Iraqi invasion and occupation. I still remember that day filled with relief and joy as we along with hundreds of others stood cheering as the coalition forces in their vehicles paraded through Gulf road celebrating victory, the end of Gulf war and the liberation of Kuwait via Operation Desert Storm.
Wishing the people of Kuwait a very happy Liberation day.
