In October 1990, two months after the Iraqi invasion of Kuwait, its government held the Kuwaiti Popular Congress in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, to which leaders of all the state’s political groups were invited.
Beyond the goals of the congress – denouncing the invasion and expressing gratitude to regional and international allies – it also aimed to renew Kuwaiti citizens’ pledge of allegiance to the House of Al-Sabah, the ruling family. The unanimous response of those attending the congress was that no such renewal was required.
