It did not provide details about his illness, but he was later declared to be in stable condition.<\/p>\n<p>Given his age, concerns about his health were commonplace during his rule.<\/p>\n<p>Sheikh Nawaf ascended to the role of crown prince in 2006, appointed by his half-brother Sheikh Sabah al-Ahmad Al-Sabah. He assumed the position of emir upon Sheikh Sabah\u2019s death in September 2020 at the age of 91.<\/p>\n<p>In 2020, Sheikh Nawaf faced the challenge of navigating the economy through a crisis triggered by a fall in oil prices.<\/p>\n<p>The current crown prince, Sheikh Mishal al-Ahmad al-Sabah, another half-brother, is 83 years old.<\/p>\n<p>Attention is now focused on whether the family will appoint a younger generation ruler.<\/p>\n<p>Around 14 months after he was appointed emir, Sheikh Nawaf transferred key constitutional duties to Sheikh Mishal.<\/p>\n<p>Sheikh Nawaf\u2019s reign, though not the shortest in Kuwait\u2019s history, was notable for issuing numerous amnesties, earning him the title \u201cemir of pardons\u201d, according to Bader al-Saif, an assistant professor of history at Kuwait University.<\/p>\n<p>Last month, Kuwait\u2019s Council of Ministers approved a draft royal decree calling for pardons for political prisoners convicted during the past decade. Similar pardons were also issued in 2021.<\/p>\n<p>Sheikh Nawaf would also \u201cbe remembered for his unique personal attributes: soft spoken, devout, modest, low profile\u201d, Saif said.<\/p>\n<p>Kuwait, a conservative country where sovereign powers are concentrated in the hands of the ruling Al Sabah family, is home to the most active and powerful parliament in the Gulf.<\/p>\n<p>But repeated standoffs between elected lawmakers and cabinet ministers installed by the ruling family have hindered development efforts and discouraged investors.<\/p>\n<p>Following a succession of resigning governments and dissolved parliaments, Kuwait\u2019s current cabinet is its fifth in a year.<\/p>\n<p>Sheikh Nawaf\u2019s rule also saw the Gulf country hold three parliamentary elections in as many years.<\/p>\n<p>The political deadlock has delayed necessary reforms and blocked development projects, leaving infrastructure and education in disrepair and much of the population disgruntled.<\/p>\n<p>Born in 1937, Sheikh Nawaf was the fifth son of Kuwait\u2019s late ruler from 1921 to 1950 Sheikh Ahmad al-Jaber Al-Sabah.<\/p>\n<p>He started his political career at the age of 25 as governor of Hawalli province, remaining in the position until 1978 when he began a decade-long tenure as interior minister.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>His death comes after three years in power marked by repeated political disputes The ruling emir of Kuwait, Sheikh Nawaf al-Ahmad Al-Sabah is dead.
