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
