On 26th of this month, Sunday, at 10.00 AM, Kuwait Goan returnees will organize a public meeting in Panjim, at Institute Menezes Braganza Hall, to mark the 26th Liberation Day of Kuwait. 26 Years back Kuwait was liberated from 7 months of brutal and illegal invasion by Saddam Hussein’s Iraq.
When Kuwait was invaded by Saddam Hussein on 2nd August 1990 early in the morning, innumerable residents of Kuwait, locals as well as foreigners who were earning their sustenance in Kuwait were put into total chaotic situation affecting their economic condition very badly. We Goans were very much the victims of this invasion and because of this we suffered a lot. Good that Kuwait was liberated in 7 months only on 26th February 1991 for most of us to return back to Kuwait, otherwise life for many of us would be terrible.
Our attachment to Kuwait is very deep even though we worked very hard there under hard conditions. Because of our employment in Kuwait we made lot of development and for this we are grateful to Kuwait. As a mark of gratitude we are organizing this meet on coming Sunday under GOA-KUWAIT SOLIDARITY CENTER. Two prominent Kuwaitis are coming from Kuwait to attend this meeting.
All the supporters and well wishers of Kuwait are welcome for this meet.

CONVENOR: GOA-KUWAIT SOLIDARITY CENTER.
