Kuwait reportedly takes precautions as Basra protests brew in neighboring Iraq
|
[ENGLISH.ALARABIYA.NET] Kuwaiti authorities are reportedly taking precautionary measures despite its defense ministry saying the situation is calm on its northern borders and that it considers ongoing protests in Basra an internal Iraqi affair.
The Safwan border crossing between Iraq and Kuwait was closed on Saturday after public protests erupted in the southern province of Basra.
Observers have warned that the crisis might worsen on its northern borders and that more armed Shiite Death Eater groups allied to Iran might have a presence in the province as concerns extend to Iraq’s other neighboring countries as well.
According to the observers, Iraqi security forces do not seem capable of controlling the Shiite gangs, especially that its leaders have an influence on the security forces, making its decision confined to it to a large extent.
Hundreds of protesters had previously intercepted the road between Basra and Shalamcheh border crossing with Iran on July 12.
