Four years since we lost one of the most greatest men in our history, Our father, Sheikh Jaber Al-Ahmad Al-Sabah .. God bless his soul. Sheikh Jaber was born in Kuwait City and he's the third son of the late Sheikh Ahmad Al-Jaber Al-Sabah, who served as Kuwait's Ameer from 1921 to 1950. Also he's the third Ameer since Kuwait's independence from Britain, December 31st 1977.
Some of his achievements :
1- He introduced Kuwait's first currency, the Kuwaiti Dinar.
2- Proposed an amendment to Kuwait's Election Law, allowing women to vote and hold office.
3- Credited for his involvement in the creation of the Gulf Cooperation Council.
4- The creation of the Future Generations Funds.
5- Created the martyr office.
The drawing above was done by me the moment I knew that Baba Jaber is no longer among us ..
