22 years ago from today was the day of the Iraqi invasion for Kuwait, I still remember that sad black Thursday 2nd of August 1990, I was a child back then. We awoke in the morning with the Iraqi military copters hovering over Kuwait city and with the noise of distant clashes and shooting and smoke in the sky, we didn’t know what was happening until we heard it on the news.
Last year I visited “Not To Forget Museum” that recreates the horror of the Iraqi invasion through a guided tour with special lighting, sounds effects and narration.
Today I visited Qurain Martyrs Museum, it’s a house where the final massacre between Kuwaiti resistance and Iraqi invaders took place, that was on the 24th of February 1990 (just before the liberation of Kuwait). I found a video for Kuwaiti resistance battling Iraqi invaders.
While walking inside the house, I could almost feel what happened seeing the damaged walls and broken windows, truly sad but it represents a historical monument. I recommend visiting the house in case you didn’t, there’s a lot to see and learn.

This house shows you what a small Kuwaiti resistance group did to the Iraqi army. They were called Al-Miseela Resistance & they inflicted some damage to the Iraqis. One glimpse at the heavily bombed house proves to you how badly the criminal Iraqi Army wanted to end Al-Miseela Resistance. They actually used a tank to bomb the house. These brave Kuwaiti defenders sacrificed their lives to free Kuwait from these barbaric invaders & the least we could do is pray for these martyrs. May Gid grant them eternity in heaven. There are some Iraqi document on display inside the house that indicate the orders to steal, loot & destroy Kuwait.
May God protect Kuwait & its people.
Thank you Taz for the coverage.
PS. I think they are closed on Sundays.
Bottom line is, we will never forgive Iraq for its heinous treason. Our future generations should witness these crimes committed against the defenselss Kuwait 22 years ago.

اللهم ارحم شهدائنا الابرار ووحد قلوبنا على حب الكويت واحفظها و شعبها من كل مكروه
اذكر دشيت هالبيت قبل ما يتحول متحف تقريبا كانت سنة 93 على ما اظن كان شي في مكانه
ما كان فيه اي تغيير او تعديل حتى الطابوق و السلم اللي يودي الدور الاعلى شبه مكسور
عليه انقاظ ولازم تدير بالك اذا بتصعد كان مشهد صعب والله ولكن الي يسعدك عندما تتذكر
انه من مات هنا فهو بمراتب اسمى واعلى و افضل وهو شهيد بإذن الله تعالى
وَلَا تَحْسَبَنَّ الَّذِينَ قُتِلُوا فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ أَمْوَاتًا بَلْ أَحْيَاءٌ عِنْدَ رَبِّهِمْ يُرْزَقُونَ * فَرِحِينَ بِمَا آتَاهُمُ اللَّهُ مِنْ فَضْلِهِ وَيَسْتَبْشِرُونَ بِالَّذِينَ لَمْ يَلْحَقُوا بِهِمْ مِنْ خَلْفِهِمْ أَلَّا خَوْفٌ عَلَيْهِمْ وَلَا هُمْ يَحْزَنُونَ * يَسْتَبْشِرُونَ بِنِعْمَةٍ مِنَ اللَّهِ وَفَضْلٍ وَأَنَّ اللَّهَ لَا يُضِيعُ أَجْرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ
آل عمران
اللهم ارحم شهدائنا و شهدائ المسلمين اللهم أرزقنا الشهادة في سبيلك
مُقبلين غير مُدبرين أنك سبحانك ولي ذلك والقادر عليه وأنت السميع العليم
I made plans to go visit this place more than once but never ended up going. Dunno why, maybe I was just too afraid to relive the horror. I can’t believe the hole on the facade outside! Doesn’t it fall apart?
A very bad memory and knight mare is the Iraqi invasion to Kuwait. May the good days, future , hapiness replace the bad days.
