I am a Bidoun living in Australia, my family also had to flea Kuwait within the war. My father, uncles, grandfather and great grand father were all in the army and police force, they served there country but were denied their rights. My family had to go to Iraq at the time of the gulf war as that was the only place we could go, my father almost died and two of my cousins disappeared. We obtained fake passports in order to immigrate to Australia, in which we spent a year in a refugee camp and were then allowed in Australia even though they knew our passports were fake they did not deport us but gave us citizenship status. They saw a human in need and did everything they could to help.

We thank God for everything, and we all know that there was nothing under the name of Kuwait 100 years ago. If you asked any Kuwaiti about its name and the name of his father, his grandfather and his family, you would discover that his grandfather was Iraqi, Iranian or Saudi, and so on. However, people hide the truth. I am from Bidun, from Iraqi origins, but my cousins are Kuwaitis and they obtained citizenship. However, this is great evidence of what I said. This is a blight for the ruling family and God will torture them in hell, and I even doubt that they are infidels who do not believe in the hereafter.

Patience will wear stones before that happens

I support the Kuwaiti Bedouins’ case. They are human beings, and their request for Kuwaiti citizenship must be granted.

Frankly speaking, the issue of the Bidoun is one of the controversial issues to which the Arab League must find a solution that is acceptable to Allah, the God of all, and to the Bidoun themselves. All human principles, endorsed by believers, unbelievers, Muslims, Jews, Christians and Buddhists, allow the Bidoun to have the Kuwaiti nationality and the most basic rights of citizenship.

I believe this extension is suspicious. The law was extended for two more years; why not 3 months? The reason is that they want the next elections to take place without judicial oversight, under the suppression of the Authority, so it was extended for the presidential election and the elections of the Shura Council and Parliament. What did the emergency law add to the protection of the people? This law is intended to protect the unfair Power, because of which Egypt has deteriorated and lost its position at the Arab, African and international levels. The Emergency Law protects the corruption of power.

I know that the Bidoun are stateless groups living in the State of Kuwait. These groups belong to the same origins and races that live in Kuwait. Those origins and races exist on a wide geographical area, stretching from the Arabian Peninsula in the south, to the deserts of Iraq in the north, and to Iran in the east. The Kuwaiti authorities violated their rights through inhuman practices that prevented them from getting their human rights, such as the right to have a birth certificate issued, the right to get jobs, the right to marriage and the right to an identity; and they prevent them from getting an education, medical care and property ownership.

The Bidoun are experiencing a deplorable social situation. The Kuwaiti government must fear God and give them their full rights. They live in Kuwaiti territory, and they have the right to have citizenship. Arabs are really narrow-minded and are very conceited about the oil wealth given to them by Allah. One day, this petroleum will run out, and then what will become of their conceitedness? They are the last people to call for the teachings of our lenient religion. By God, the Western peoples are closer to God in terms of sympathy with the humanitarian conditions of people. But you, who claim to be Muslims, are very far from Islam. The Human Rights Organization criticized Kuwait for its poor treatment of about 100,000 Bidoun people and said that the state did not recognize the rights of those who have resided in the state for a long time by granting them citizenship or permanent residence. The organization added that these people "face restrictions in access to jobs, health care, education, marriage and starting a family,” calling on the Kuwaiti government to recognize their rights to obtain citizenship. On 02/04/2010, the Emir of Kuwait Sheikh Sabah Al-Ahmad promised to find a solution to the issue of the Kuwaiti Bidoun and those with loans, after a meeting with the country's MPs. However, there is no concrete solution so far.

The Arab Commission for Human Rights and the Kuwaiti Bedoons movement ring the bell of the Kuwaiti Bedoons file, as this file in question in more than one Gulf country, and we ask the Kuwaiti government to put an end to this tragedy, respecting the international obligations, particularly International Declaration of Human Rights in all its Articles especially Article NO (15), which provides for the right of everyone to the enjoyment of the nationality, and the Convention relating to Status of Stateless Persons of 28/09/ 1954 and the Convention on the Reduction of Statelessness in 30/08/ 1961 and the Convention on the Rights of the Child 1991 and the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights, as well as customs and laws of Kuwait, where the situation of Bedoons in general abnormal, and needs to be transferred quickly and effectively to the judiciary and the courts
