Kuwait to Deport 60 Lebanese for Alleged Hizbullah Links
إقرأ هذا الخبر بالعربية
Kuwait is to deport 60 Lebanese for alleged links to Hizbullah in the latest Gulf Arab move against the Shiite group, a newspaper reported on Monday.
Those to be deported all had permanent residency which has been revoked, al-Qabas daily said.
Those classified as "dangerous cases" were given just two days to leave the country, it added.
It is the second wave of deportations from Kuwait reported since Gulf Arab states blacklisted Hizbullah as a "terrorist" group earlier this month.
Last week, al-Qabas reported that 11 Lebanese and three Iraqis had been deported for alleged links to the group.
Around 50,000 Lebanese live and work in the oil-rich emirate, providing remittances that are vital to the domestic economy.
The terror blacklisting was the latest step taken by Gulf states, led by Sunni powerhouse Saudi Arabia, against Hizbullah, the leading force in Lebanon's governing bloc which is backed by Riyadh's Shiite rival Tehran.
Last month, Saudi Arabia halted a $3 billion program of military aid to Lebanon to protest what it said was "the stranglehold of Hizbullah on the state".
It also urged its citizens to leave Lebanon and avoid travelling there.
Qatar and Kuwait followed with similar travel advisories, while the United Arab Emirates banned its nationals from travel to Lebanon.
Hizbullah is fighting in support of the government of Syrian President Bashar Assad against Gulf-backed rebel fighters and extremist militants.
Other Gulf states have also taken measures against alleged Hizbullah supporters since the terror blacklisting.
Bahrain said it had deported several Lebanese residents for alleged links to the group.
Saudi security forces arrested a Shiite preacher accused of glorifying the group, the kingdom's al-Watan newspaper reported last week.
And the United Arab Emirates has reportedly put seven people on trial for allegedly forming a cell linked to Hizbullah.

The funny issue here is, that Kuwait just randomly exports people with Shia backgrounds, a yemeni styled rebellion should indeed take place in that little wahabi country soon enough.
Would be enjoyable to see Saudis little brothers be pressured.

In Yemen, Ansarullah fighters confiscates western-made equipment of slain Gulf arab coalition forces, with Saudi riyals and photos of King Abdullah in their pockets.

Mystic, even if I agree with your assessment that it is random. You claim that 90% of Shia are HA supporters, even random deportation gets the right people 90% of the time.

Well 40-50 % of both Kuwait and Saudi Arabia are Shia, so they might aswell try and expell all of them.
Wahabism has no place in the Middle East, and the regular sunnis does support the Resistance, look at Algeria and Tunis that's two major Sunni countries, and they take Resistance instead Wahabism & money.

Kuwait has to be commended for cleansing its land from these iranian backstabbers who harbor ill-will, deep sectarian hatred, and religious vengeance.

So mad that your Wahabis in Syria are getting wiped out everyday.
Yes the Resistance will continue to go and fight there, and stop crying about sunnis all the time.
ISIS and Nusra kills sunnis all the time, and they do not lift a finger to fight for the sunnis of Palestine.

Every country has the right to do what is necessary to protect its national security. Who can blame the Kuwaitis for doing this especially when we have seen the level of hatred and the number of hezbollah cells operating in GCC countries.

How sad.... really sad.... very sad! What sin did these 60 iranian shias commit other than supporting our national resistance from Kuwait and attacking the Saudi regime. It is appalling that we have reached a stage where expressing one's iranian opinion is no longer tolerated. My heart goes out to these innocent people and their families for losing their jobs and income. Not a good start to the week....

Wlak stop this BS about moukawama and moumanaa! These are senseless words. Khalass, they use these words just to maintain their weapons and screw the country. Lebanon will survive only when it will be free of all the foreign interferences, syrian, iranian, saudi or western. Lebanon should be run by and for the Lebanese as a whole and by and for the Christians, Muslims, Druze!
