On Kuwait City’s seafront close to midnight, half a dozen young men are seated on rugs as part of a tiny and almost genteel political protest.
They are calling for wide-ranging political reforms – but without the intensity or single-minded intent of their Egyptian counterparts who forced President Hosni Mubarak from power only last month.
“Don’t think it’s like [Cairo’s] Tahrir Square – it’s 180-degrees different,” warns one of the Kuwaiti six. “We don’t want to change our president, because we love him.”
