| | The Kuwait Succession Crisis and the New Leadership, February 27, 2006 |
 | | The fact that the ruling Al Sabah had done nothing to address the fact that the Crown Prince when this year began, Sheikh Sa‘d al-‘Abdullah Al Sabah, was seriously ailing and, apparently, unable to rule, created a crisis dealt with somewhat awkwardly in January (See The Estimate, January 23, 2006). |
 | | Born in 1937 as a son of Sheikh Ahmad al-Jab ir Al Sabah (Amir of Kuwait 1921-1950), if he eventually succeeds he would be the third son of Sheikh Ahmad to rule Kuwait after his brothers Sheikh Jabir (1977-2006) and Sheikh Sabah (2006-), the current Amir. |
 | | Kuwait’s new Prime Minister is a nephew of its new Ruler, Sheikh Sabah al-Ahmad, and its new Crown Prince, Sheikh Nawwaf al-Ahmad. |
