The Iraqi-Kuwaiti relations from 1921 to 1991 were not stable or positively developed in favor of the two brotherly and neighboring countries. Perhaps the issue of the Kuwaiti border with Iraq was the first concern of the rulers of Kuwait since the British occupation of Iraq, specifically in 1923, when the Emir of Kuwait at the time, Ahmed Jaber Al-Sabah, demanded the British High Commissioner, Sir Percy Cox, to establish the borders of his emirate, which at that time belonged to the administrative authority of the "Mutasarrif of Basra". As it was during the Ottoman Empire.
Because of the depth of social and clan relations between the peoples of Iraq and Kuwait, and by virtue of the common history and demographic factors of the two countries, the political relations between them did not witness serious tensions that necessitated military intervention or the threat of it except on three occasions; The first was during the reign of King Ghazi bin Faisal al-Hashemi, who considered that the map of Iraq was drawn by the Ottoman Empire, and Kuwait was considered part of the Basra Governorate, but Britain rejected these demands, which were settled after the killing of King Ghazi on April 4, 1939.
On June 19, 1961, the ruler of Kuwait at the time, Abdullah Al-Salem Al-Sabah, canceled the protection agreement with Britain, in preparation for Kuwait’s obtaining its full independence, which was considered by the Prime Minister of Iraq at the time, Abdul Karim Qasim, as a British project directed against the unity of Iraq, so he decided on June 25 In June 1961, Kuwait was annexed to Iraq, on the grounds that Kuwait was an Iraqi land separated from Iraq by British colonialism. At the same time, he decided to appoint Abdullah Al-Sabah as District Commissioner of Kuwait, who followed him to the Basra Brigade. Iraq also decided to sever its diplomatic relations with several countries, including the United States, Japan, Iran, Tunisia, Jordan and others, due to its recognition of the independence of the Emirate of Kuwait.
Through the foregoing, Iraq, and as a major part of the price of losing the unequal war between it and the international coalition forces led by the United States, found itself "compelled" to accept all Security Council resolutions, including, of course, the decision to demarcate the sea and land borders with Kuwait and its results. However, as a by-product of accepting this decision, the issue of his acceptance of the "fait accompli" decision remained a source of resentment, anger, and rejection by many segments of the Iraqi people, just like Kuwait's recent move to displace a village in Umm Qasr, Iraq, on the grounds of its proximity to the border support established by the United Nations. The strangest thing about this Kuwaiti procedure was that August 2 was chosen to implement the order to receive the aforementioned areas in Umm Qasr al-Iraqiya. Merely remembering this day means a lot to the Iraqis, regardless of their convictions about the correctness of the decision of the political leadership of the former regime at the time or not.
The relations between the peoples of Kuwait and Iraq are the deepest in the entire Arab world. Rather, they are the deepest, even with the system of the Arab Gulf states. Because of the deep-rooted social closeness and the genealogical space that constitutes the origins of most Kuwaiti families, I do not really know why those who lurk in these relations are allowed to sow division and hatred between the two peoples; The file of border demarcation will not end, both on land and on land, and Kuwait’s interests remain with Iraq, now and in the future, the largest among all countries in the region. Kuwaitis should pay attention to the weakness of the Iraqi position in international forums shortly after its occupation of Kuwait, which caused it to agree “forced” to UN resolutions related to this event, which will not be permanent, because, at a certain period, when its relations are positive with the international community, it will demand the reopening of Files of decisions previously issued against him, because he linked his approval at the time to the term “forced”, which is legally similar to the term “confession under torture” in criminal courts.
Basra is on the verge of massive events and major changes, the first focus of which and the main actor will be Kuwait, and it will be met by official Iraqi silence and procrastination, which will bring the Iraqi people face to face with the great popular escalation, the results of which no one can predict. It is really impressive to tweet Sheikh Dergham al-Maliki, one of the notables of Basra Governorate, "The Basrans are generous people in everything, except for giving land."
The Iraqis are waiting for the Kuwaiti people to take a position that preserves the spirit of brotherhood and lineage with them, a position that warns the decision-makers in their country that the rights of peoples cannot be forgotten or ignored, no matter how old the years are, and Iraq is a big and strong brother that may weaken at some point, but it will not die, and it is wise to stand with it in His weakness, do not leave stabs in the back.

The third crisis was on August 2, 1990, when Iraqi forces invaded Kuwait to extend their influence over its entire area within 48 hours, and then Iraq declared that Kuwait was considered the 19th province and that it was part of Iraq's administrative map, after the Emir of Kuwait and the princely family left for Saudi Arabia and other countries. Then the status of Kuwait continued as an Iraqi governorate for seven months, until the Iraqi forces were expelled from it after a wide war in which the forces of more than 30 countries participated, a war that was sufficient to issue several important and dangerous decisions against Iraq, among them was the decision to form an international committee to demarcate the Iraqi-Kuwaiti land and sea borders No. 833 in 1991, which ended its work and its recommendations were unanimously agreed upon in 1993.Kuwait's interests remain with Iraq, now and in the future, the greatest among all countries in the region

Will Iraq sell its lands as some of them promote? There is no indication of that, and if it happened it would not be surprising, but what amazes observers, even from within the political establishment in Iraq, is the absolute silence about everything that waves the street, protesting and rejecting what is happening on the ground, after they saw with their own eyes the evacuation of villages In Umm Qasr, Iraq, in favor of Kuwait with lands of different sizes, which also means giving up areas full of oil and gas.Iraq is a big and strong brother to Kuwait. It may weaken at some point, but it will not die. It is wise to stand with it in its weakness, not to leave stab wounds in its back.
