### Kuwait: the forfeiture of nationality and its alarming consequences
Kuwait, formerly considered a model of democracy in the Gulf, is experiencing a tumultuous period marked by the forfeiture of nationality of nearly 42,000 nationals in just six months. With a permissive legislative framework making it possible to deprive citizens of their rights on waves, this authoritarian drift raises crucial questions about the nature of citizenship and the future of civil rights in the country.
This situation generates a palpable anxiety among Kuwaitians, who scrutinize the lists published regularly, revealing the deep emotional impact on affected families. Economic implications are not to be overlooked, many entrepreneurs hesitating to invest in the face of this growing uncertainty.
Human rights organizations, such as Amnesty International, denounce these practices as an unacceptable attack on fundamental rights, calling on the international community to react to avoid a shift towards authoritarianism. Kuwait is therefore at a critical turning point, where the protection of individual freedoms is more than ever threatened.
