	Emir - Encyclopedia, History, Geography and Biography
		Emir (Arabic: Arabic: أمير‎ ; ʾamīrun, "commander" or "general", later also "prince"; also transliterated as amir or ameer) is a high title of nobility or office, historically used in Islamic nations of the Middle East, North Africa, Asia Minor, and the Turkic world, among others.
		Emir is also the title of the religious leader (without political power) of the Ahmadiyya anjuman ishaat-i Islam, a minor Muslim sect, established in Lahore in April 1914, with five incumbents to date.
		The word Emir is also used less formally for leaders in certain contexts, for example the leader of a group of pilgrims to Mecca is called an emir hadji, a style sometimes used by ruling princes (as a mark of Muslim piety), sometimes awarded in their name.

	The Gulf Monarchies: Kuwait's Real Elections - Middle East Quarterly
		Kuwait's 1962 constitution gives the revived National Assembly responsibility for drafting legislation and allows the assembly to question the performance of the prime minister and other cabinet members, all of whom are appointed by the emir and approved by the assembly.
		The assembly was twice dissolved by the emir, in 1976 (reopening in 1985) and 1986 (reopening in 1992).
		Kuwait's strong sense of national unity, plus the continued threat from Iraq, mean that these elections will hardly affect U.S.-Kuwaiti relations, which have grown into a true alliance, one as firm and as important to both partners as U.S.-NATO ties.

	Middle East Report Online: Kuwait’s Annus Mirabilis by Mary Ann Tétreault
		The emir himself was caught off guard when, in May, the long-running struggle to redraw districts suddenly attracted thousands of vociferous supporters to a broadly based movement spearheaded by young Kuwaitis.
		The emir’s action ensured at least one more election under the old system, but it too produced surprises: victories for 35 candidates from across the political spectrum who had been endorsed by the anti-corruption movement in return for pledges to fight corruption if they were elected.
		The new emir may have acted precipitously in canceling the parliamentary session and calling a new election -- and the speaker of the parliament later excoriated this decision publicly as unnecessarily confrontational.

	Emir
		Another meaning of the word "emir" is prince, specifically, the male descendant of a sovereign, as in the sultanate of the Maldives (besides the native title Manippulu).
		For example, before the crowning as King Abdullah of Jordan, the son of King Hussein was still referred to as "Emir Abdullah" (in this case a obsolete title of the dynasty, which adopted the higher title of Malik = king).
		Emir is also a common Muslim male name in Bosnia (see also Azra), taken from Arabic, just as the Latin Rex ('king') in the West.

	Middle East Report Online: Three Emirs and a Tale of Two Transitions, by Mary Ann Tétreault
		Project Kuwait, conceived as a tripwire with the power to deter future Iraqi aggression, gradually came to be seen by Kuwaiti oil insiders as a way to dispel the miasma of indecision at the top by introducing foreign players with enough clout to get oil development back on track.
		The emir Sabah’s eventual decision -- to keep the positions separate and to name two al-Jabirs to fill them -- thus marked a historic turning point in the fortunes of the other branches of Mubarak’s family, as the al-Jabir asserted their authority over the succession and the government, all at the same time.
		The new crown prince is Sheikh Nawaf al-Ahmad, the emir’s half-brother, and the new prime minister is Sheikh Nasir al-Muhammad, the emir’s nephew.

		Our thoughts are also with the people of Kuwait, whose country has been liberated, albeit at the cost of appalling human suffering and the destruction of so much of their property and natural resources.
		It was the Security Council which resolved that Iraq must leave Kuwait unconditionally, imposed sanctions to secure that objective, authorised the use of force and laid down the conditions for a ceasefire; and it is the Security Council which, obviously, will now consider and design the way ahead.
		Gentleman has in mind, but the overwhelming concern of us all at present is to ensure that the discussions that must yet come for the future security and safety of the region take place as speedily and effectively as possible.

		As it still harbors 10 percent of the world’s reserves, Kuwait remains a key oil producer, and a rise in oil prices coincident with the current Iraq war has led to the sort of budget surpluses not seen since before 1990, as well as a construction boom.

		In the beginning of the 18th century, an Arabic tribe known as "al-Utoob", their leader Sabah bin Jabir, belonged to the "Sabah" branch of this tribe (hence al-Sabah dynasty of Kuwait as it became known later).
		Thus Kuwait became a virtually independent city with Sabah bin Jaber as its first ruler, in spite of it nominally being under Ottoman control.
