Description

Hundreds of thousands of native-born residents of Kuwait and their descendents do not have citizenship in the country. They are known as the "bedoon", stateless in Arabic. Due to the restrictive 1959 Nationality Law, bedoons do not have the right to own property, education, health care, civil marriage, or even to leave the country. In today's program, host Cody Weddle interviews Kuwaiti born yet stateless English teacher and movie actor Mohammaed Alkhaldi, who describes what it is like to be a bedoon. teleSUR
