  • The Bedoon are Bedouins of the northern tribes. Other countries like Lebanon and Egypt have refused to give Bedouin citizenship. Kuwait is the same, except that it has killed nearly half of them, in the 1980s they were 300,000.

    150,000 were killed or driven out of Kuwait - their home - after the Gulf War, by Kuwaiti vigilantes trained by the CIA. UNHCR keeps deleting this information.
  • These Bedouin are discriminated because they are Shias. Shame! They are human beings.
