Kuwait Copies Trump, Place Visa Ban For Five Muslim Countries by mr1759: 3:57pm On Feb 03, 2017 |
Citizens from five Muslim-majority countries will
no
longer be able to obtain Kuwaiti visas, after
reports
the Gulf state issued tight entry restrictions that
mirrored US President Donald Trump’s Muslim
ban.
Syrians, Iraqis, Iranians, Pakistanis and Afghans
will
not be able to obtain visit, tourism or trade
Kuwaiti
visas with the news coming one day after the US
slapped its own restrictions on seven Muslim-
majority countries.
Passport holders from the countries will no lot be
allowed to enter the Gulf state while the blanket
ban
is in place and have been told not to apply to
visas .
Kuwaiti sources told local media that the
restrictions
were in place due to the “instability” in the five
countries and that the ban would be lifted once
the
security situation improves.
Pakistan and Afghanistan have all witnessed
violence
from extremist groups, while Syria and Iraq are
embroiled in internal conflicts.
Although mainly peaceful, tensions between Iran
and
the Gulf have ratched up over the past year with
the
GCC powers accusing Tehran of attempting to
destabalise the region.
Kuwait is concerned about the threat of
extremist
groups such as al-Qaeda and the Islamic State
group
with both militant organisations have a presence
in
Syria, Iraq, Afghanistan and Pakistan.
The Gulf state has witnessed a number of
militant
attacks over the past two years, including the
bombing of a Shia mosque in 2015 which left 27
Kuwaits dead.
Kuwait responded by arresting dozens of
suspected
Daesh sympathizers and rolling out mandatary
DNA
testing programme and database for the Gulf
state’s
4 million population.
Kuwait reportedly issued a ban on all visas for
Syrians in 2011, but allowed those inside the
country
to remain.
It made Kuwait the only country in the world to
officially bar entry to Syrians, until the US named
Syria in seven countries banned from entering.
Kuwait has issued a number of laws targeting
foreigners in recent years, and made it one of
the
most unfriendly Gulf states towards expatriates.
In 2015, Kuwait was named as the worst place in
the
world for expatriates in a 64 country InterNations
survey.
Meanwhile, Trump’s Muslim ban has been met
with
widespread outrage since it was signed on
Friday,
although Gulf states have remained quiet on the
issue.
Dubai security chief Dhahi Khalfan outraged
Syrians
and other nationalities included in the ban when
he
publicly backed Trump’s decision. http://truthfeed.com/kuwait-copies-trump-issues- own-visa-ban-for-five-muslim-majority- countries/50074/ https://www.alaraby.co.uk/english/ news/2017/2/1/kuwait-issues-trump-like-visa- bans-for-five-muslim-majority-countries cc : lalasticlala |

Appleyard: In fiscal federalism, States have the right to enact laws that will improve the security of the State. |
Re: Kuwait Copies Trump, Place Visa Ban For Five Muslim Countries by Appleyard(m): 10:57pm On Feb 04, 2017 |
Penisman: but we are not even practicing fiscal or true federalism... So, it won't work. |
