Kuwait’s government falls after less than four months, as tensions with parliament claim another victim

Kuwait's Prime Minister Sheikh Ahmed Al-Nawaf Al-Sabah has tendered his government's resignation, following a dispute over proposals to pay off the debts of locals and a brief boycott of the National Assembly by cabinet ministers. The country is once again facing a period of uncertainty, with no clear sign of how the structural tensions between an unelected government and a popularly-elected parliament might be resolved.
