KUWAIT CITY, May 10: A Bedoun youth was arrested at Kabad Roundabout in possession of “Chemical” drug and narcotic pills.

It is very important to support those who are eager to protect peace all around the globe, said Al-Fassam who indicated that the increasing number of peacekeepi­ng casualties in the last five years required a stern stance to end the targeting of such forces.

He affirmed that peacekeepi­ng forces have the difficult task of making sure stability continues in certain countries and regions, adding that this quest is fully supported by the UN General Assembly and UNSC. Al-Fassam stressed that host countries and local security forces must cooperate with peacekeepi­ng troops to ensure the success of peace missions.

In an unrelated developmen­t, head of the Central System for Remedying the Status of Illegal Residents (CSRSIR) Salah Al-Fadhalah has called on the Ministry of Social Affairs and Public Authority for Manpower to provide job opportunit­ies for Bedouns in private sector and the cooperativ­e societies based on their legal status, reports AlAnba daily.

The statement came during his meeting with the representa­tives of Ministry of Social Affairs and Manpower Authority at the headquarte­rs of CSRSIR in Nayef Palace to discuss the recruitmen­t of Bedouns.

Al-Fadhalah said the Central System was establishe­d with support from political leadership and the government to grant rights, while offering assistance to the children of Kuwaiti women to attain higher education and ensure their employment in both private and government sectors.

He stressed that 1965 census doesn’t guarantee citizenshi­p although it proves the presence of the participan­ts in the country. “It is wrong to believe that we won’t find radical solution to Bedoun issue soon”, he added.

He also mentioned the files of some 34,000 individual­s out of 92,000 were transferre­d to the higher committee for review. He reaffirmed the era of old security IDs is over leaving no option for those manipulati­ng the situation except to remedy their status or return home. He indicated the agency will extend all facilities to those showing their passports.

Al-Fadhalah also said the State provides free education for Bedouns in government schools equally as citizens, in addition to free medical care in all government hospitals and the health centers. He commended the level of support received from the Charitable Fund to educate Bedouns in private schools, indicating the State bears all costs.
