The Kuwaiti prince crisis-Learn from the Kuwaitis

Kuwait got now unexpected problem ,there seems to be some conflict on who will be the next prince of Kuwait after Late Jabbar El-Sabbah . Already the late prince got a crown prince Shekih Saad El-Sabbah ,who is considered by Kuwaitis as a hero for what he did during the Iraqi invasion ,yet prince Saad is so sick ,in the funeral he came on wheeled chair just in the funeral prayer then he went away ,I saw him incapable to do the required job
Already the Kuwaiti royal family got two branches El-Salams and El-jabbars and when a prince is assigned, by family consensus, an heir apparent from the cousins branch " a dear visitor and great blogger Alif explained the whole thing "
In fact there was a talk ,a serious talk that he won't be able to say the Oath in Kuwaiti parliament as it is stated in the Kuwaiti constitution
For that the realistic royal family and the realistic government decided to go for the Crown prince now or the ex-prime minister EL-Sabbah El-Ahmed El-Sabbah
There is nothing wrong in his health and the two parts of El-Sabbah family were said to be agreed on the choice with the respect to Saad
Yet Saad made a great surprise and caused a huge problem in the country from couple of days when he sent a message to the head of the Kuwaiti parliament El-khorafi "is he relative to the business man who will buy Omar Fendi??" saying in it that he will come by himself to say the oath in the parliament !!
A surprise that no expected , and a division in the royal family between its two parts
I don't what will happen ,already I think the Kuwaiti political experience is unique a mix between the tribal system and modern democracy and I don't know how the one can mix them
The late prince did something wise when he delegated some of the prince "ruler" authorities to the prime -minister
The two good questions ,the questions which will answer all doubts the white house is on what side ? and the Kuwaiti people on what side?
Last updates : The parliament agreed on Saad's request and now Saad will become the official prince on next Tuesday inShallah
Well it is not a big deal ,if he or El-Sabbah El-Ahmed became the prince because already the later was doing the duties and responsibilities of the prince in the last couple of years as result of the illness of both late Jabber and Saad
Last words: There are a perception about the Kuwaitis in Egypt that they are unresponsible people yet this incident shows how mature their political life there, and it is more national-made then import ,we should learn from them the respect of parliament and the care from the country.
It is the first time in Gulf that happens a conflict between two shekihs about the throne and ends peacefully with no murder or exile and the example are many from Qatar to Oman to ........
Bravo Kuwait
