Kuwait Is Burning: Uprising Against Elites

Same stuff… different country. Once again someone (former opposition leader Musallam al-Barrak) exposed the corruption among the elites (revealed documents that allegedly prove billions of illicit financial transfers were made to senior officials, including judges) and the leaders (Kuwait officials) decided he should be arrested and charged with slander. This has caused uproar among the people as hundreds of protesters rallied overnight in support of al-Barrack, marching from his house to the jail chanting: “The people want to cleanse the judiciary!” The police in the oil-rich nation of Kuwait used tear gas and stun grenades early Thursday to disperse the protesters. 

This goes with my other post from this morning about the Middle East being on fire and now I think the match that lights World War 3.  From Lebanon to Kuwait, Yemen to Iraq, there is conflict raging or rising.
