Kuwait has revoked the citizenship of 2,193 individuals through a series of newly issued decrees, according to state news agency KUNA. The reasons for the revocation were not immediately specified in reports. This action follows a pattern of similar decisions in recent years, raising concerns about statelessness within the country. Kuwait previously revoked the citizenship of hundreds in 2015 and 2017. Authorities have stated these measures are aimed at safeguarding national security and upholding the integrity of the citizenship process. Human rights organizations have criticized such actions, citing potential for creating a large population of “bidoon” – individuals without citizenship – and the associated legal and social challenges. The latest decrees were published in the official gazette, *Kuwait Al-Youm*, without detailed explanations.
