News Agency: Government Officials and Sunday Afternoon

news agency: But the rise of the Islamic State group and the drop in global oil prices has caused growing concerns in this major OPEC member, according to Brandon Sun. Kuwait state-run television station and its news agency announced the parliament dissolving on Sunday afternoon, just a few hours after government officials held an emergency meeting. Parliaments typically don't serve out their full terms in the stalwart U.S. ally, but lawmakers elected in Kuwait last vote in 2013 largely sided with the government as they served in the wake of Arab Spring protests. The Cabinet was expected to resign, as those sitting on the 12-member board also likely will be contesting their parliamentary seats. In his decree, Kuwait ruling emir Sheikh Sabah Al Ahmad Al Sabah said "regional circumstances" and "security challenges" required dissolving parliament. A caretaker government was expected to be announced in the coming hours. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
