From "Al Istiklal** of Baghdad dated 9 May 19391
H If it had to be immediately forgotten end silenced it would
have been better not to bring forth the question of Kuwait In a
way that attracted the attention both of the 7/est and East, The
tyran authorities took barbaric steps against ilia nationalist
supporters 5 throwing them in prisons, killin them* Many young men
g fled fnom Kuwait in fear of revenge • Yet their crime has been
bp& to support the idea of the annexion of Kuwait to Iraq - as it
used to be before the war - thus avoiding a foreign aoccupation.
Vhile the nationalists were hoping, brutal strength assaulted them
and took its revenge. It is sad to see that rah countries did not
react and even Iraq, despite its good feelings towards Kuwait did
not stir. And now Kuwait nationalists suffer the, wose atrocities , H
Further, the article states that now the Arabs have gone, kuwait
will soon be the centre of anti-Iraqi intrigues, because of the
many foreigners who are free to do anything thc^ want there.
It ends with an appeal for Kuwait asking: help for the population.
