Sheikh Fahd Al-Youssef held talks with the Syrian Minister of Interior during his visit to Damascus last Tuesday.

KUWAIT CITY, July 19: Syrians who obtained Kuwaiti citizenship through forgery are on the verge of being uncovered. According to the sources, the files related to these forgeries were personally delivered by Kuwaiti officials to First Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Interior Sheikh Fahad Al-Yousef during his recent one-day official visit, which began in Beirut and continued to Damascus. In Damascus, Sheikh Fahad held a four-hour meeting with Syrian officials to discuss the matter, present the files, and reinforce cooperation between the two countries. Both sides agreed to examine and match the evidence from Kuwait with Syrian records in an effort to expose the forgers and bring clarity to these fraudulent cases.

Exclusive sources confirmed that the upcoming session of Kuwait’s Supreme Nationality Investigation Committee will review evidence in over 200 cases involving Syrians suspected of fraudulently acquiring Kuwaiti nationality. These individuals are expected to lose their citizenship once the investigations conclude.

Addressing Syrians holding forged Kuwaiti citizenship, the sources stated that the Damascus discussions were “successful and productive,” and those involved should consider themselves exposed. Citizenship withdrawal, they emphasized, is inevitable.

The sources also urged any Syrian involved in such forgery to voluntarily come forward, confess, and request to regularize their status as a gesture of good faith. Doing so may lead to possible solutions and reduce the legal and financial consequences they could otherwise face.

“No one who has forged citizenship should believe they are safe,” the sources warned. “We will not allow Kuwait’s identity, resources, and rights to be exploited by those who do not deserve them.”
