Liberation Day, Kuwait
Liberation Day celebrates the liberation of Kuwait from seven months of traumatic Iraqi occupation by a multi-national force on 26th February, 1991. Each year the day is marked with public gatherings and get-togethers.
The day is also tinged with sadness, as Kuwait remembers and honours the martyrs who lost their lives fighting Iraqi oppression and the 605 Prisoners of War who were held captive in Iraqi jails.
Liberation Day is actually the second part of a two-day holiday, as National Day is observed on 25th February.
