Kuwait Martyrs Office marks Iraqi invasion’s anniversary

KUWAIT: On the 29th anniversary of the Iraqi invasion of Kuwait, the Kuwait Martyrs Office held various activities in Kuwait over the weekend. The three days of activities took place at 360 mall, Avenues mall, and Hamra mall. Similar events were held at the headquarters of the Public Authority for Agricultural Affairs and Fish Resources. The activities included displaying huge billboards with photos of martyrs, activities for children such as drawing competitions and theatrical performances. Competitions for adults were held as well. The Kuwait Martyrs Office holds such activities to remind the younger generations of a very important part of Kuwait’s history, as over half of the Kuwaiti population is under 29.
