A <a class="taxInlineTagLink" id="PLGEO00000067" title="Kuwait" href="/topic/intl/kuwait-PLGEO00000067.topic">Kuwaiti</a> man attends a parliamentary session in Kuwait City, the capital of Kuwait. The ruler of the oil-rich Gulf state, Sabah al Ahmed al Jabbar al Sabah, warned on December 29 against chaos and social divisions amid heightened political turmoil and tribal and sectarian tensions that have rocked Kuwait. Tensions have surfaced in OPEC's fourth-largest producer over the last few weeks, with the emirate's Bedouin tribes staging two massive rallies last week to protest a controversial television program.
