The tribal sheikhs and notables in Basra called for a review of UN Security Council Resolution No. 833 issued in 1993 and the issuance of a new resolution to demarcate the Iraqi-Kuwaiti borders, according to previous maps, and to cancel the unfair decisions against Iraq.
Sheikh Abbas Al-Fadhli said in a statement he read during a conference held yesterday evening at the Minawi Pasha Hotel in central Basra: “The demarcation of borders cannot be conducted through the logic of strength and weakness and what the war imposed and unjust decisions on Iraq,” noting that “the Iraqi people are the victims of the follies of the previous regime, not Kuwait only but they reject its aggressive policies towards the neighborhood.
The statement stressed: The need for the United Nations to provide advice to the Kuwaiti side to respond to the Iraqi people in their demand for the demarcation of land and sea borders in accordance with previous international maps.
The statement continued: The problem of demarcating the borders between Iraq and Kuwait is an eternal problem that is more than one hundred years old, and if it has not been solved legally by giving the right to its owners and by guaranteeing the safety of the lands of the two countries without encroaching on the other according to the real borders that everyone knows and is established within the old international maps and not on the basis of force and what was imposed by the war, which came with unfair decisions of the UN Security Council against Iraq and its people, indicating that “imposing wills by force can walk and be applied, but for a limited period, but this imposition and coercion will not last long until you find the problem raised again.
