    The Emir of Kuwait, Sheikh Nawaf Al Ahmad Al Jaber Al Sabah, took constitutional oath and became the 16th Emir of Kuwait this morning. “I swear to respect the constitution and the laws of the state, provide for the people’s freedoms, interest and money and safeguard the independence of the country and its territorial integrity,” Sheikh Nawaz said.

    Sheikh Nawaf took the constitutional oath and has become the sixteenth Emir of Kuwait. The remains of Sheikh Sabah are expected to arrive in Kuwait City later Wednesday, on a flight from Minnesota where he had been undergoing treatment in hospital since July. According to the royal court, the funeral will be "restricted to the emir's relatives" - a move likely designed to avoid large crowds amid the coronavirus pandemic. The country has already begun a 40-day period of national mourning. Image Credit: Kuwait TV/Handout via REUTERS
