Quarrel between Kuwaiti Students Sparks Controversy in Egypt

Kuwait’s Foreign Ministry on Sunday voiced dismay and rejection of an assault by Egyptian policemen on several Kuwaiti students in Egypt’s northern city of Alexandria. On Saturday, a quarrel had erupted between the students at a shopping mall in Alexandria.

The Kuwaiti embassy in Cairo released a statement on Saturday saying it was closely investigating the incident. It said it was making calls with relevant Egyptian authorities to ensure that the Kuwaiti students were being treated properly.

All the students involved in the quarrel were released after having been arrested by authorities, affirmed the embassy.

Moreover, the embassy renewed the call for its nationals living in Egypt, particularly students, to abide by the laws and regulations there.

Kuwaiti Deputy Foreign Minister Ambassador Mansour Al-Otaibi communicated with Egyptian Ambassador in Kuwait Osama Shaltout, calling on Egyptian authorities to take official and legal action against the policemen assaulting the Kuwaiti students.

The Kuwaiti official also called on Egyptian authorities to carry out investigations into the case, bring the perpetrators to accountability and take necessary measures to deter such unacceptable individual behaviors that do not reflect fraternal relations between Kuwait and Egypt.
