بِسْمِ اللّهِ الرَّحْمـَنِ الرَّحِيمِ

وَقُلِ اعْمَلُواْ فَسَيَرَى اللّهُ عَمَلَكُمْ وَرَسُولُهُ وَالْمُؤْمِنُونَ وَسَتُرَدُّونَ إِلَى عَالِمِ الْغَيْبِ وَالشَّهَادَةِ فَيُنَبِّئُكُم بِمَا كُنتُمْ تَعْمَلُونَ

And say: "Work (righteousness): Soon will Allah observe your work, and His Messenger, and the Believers: Soon will ye be brought back to the knower of what is hidden and what is open: then will He show you the truth of all that ye did." 9:105

Journey to Kuwait under Occupation

Journey to Kuwait under Occupation
Dr. Mouhamed N. Tarazi



Saddam Hussain invaded Kuwait in August, 1990.  As time passed and days became months, it became clear that Saddam would not leave Kuwait without putting up a fight, despite international pressure. 
Some foreign nationals living in Kuwait, who were out of Kuwait during the invasion, started going back during the months of September through November. They went to claim their possessions before all hell broke loose and ‘the mother of all battles’ as Saddam then called it, would start. 
In this memoir, the author recounts his 14,000-mile, month-long journey through Jordan and Iraq to Kuwait during the Iraqi occupation, in an effort to recover what was left of his family possessions.
