On Saturday, Sheikh Nawaf passed away. When he became Amir in 2020, he was 83 years old. At that time, he was the oldest leader to take over in the Gulf state that Iraq attacked and took over in 1990.
He was sick for most of his three-year rule as Amir, which was short by Kuwaiti norms. He was ruled by his brother, Sheikh Sabah al-Ahmad al-Sabah, for 14 years. He set the foreign policy of the Gulf state for two generations.
After prayers at Bilal bin Rabah mosque, Sheikh Nawaf was buried with his family at Sulaibikhat graveyard. His coffin was draped in Kuwait’s flag. He passed away at age 86.
