IRAQ - KUWAIT - BIDOON
Scores of stateless Arabs, known in Arabic as bidoon, demonstrate on the Iraq-Kuwait border demanding entry to the oil-rich emirate and threatening to take up arms 04 October 2000. Meanwhile, Kuwait dismissed the protest as a propaganda stunt. The Iraqi organizers claimed the protesters numbered about 1,000 and Kuwaiti troops and police, already in the area, have been put on maximum alert. Kuwait says 102,000 bidoon live inside the emirate today, down from 225,000 prior to the Iraqi invasion in 1990.
