View source for Shiite parties of Kuwait

Shiites in Kuwait are Kuwaiti citizens who accept the doctrine of Shia Islam, but they do not have a very effective presence at the high levels of the government, and at the middle levels in some ministries, such as the Ministry of Education, Higher Education, and Kuwait University, the presence of Shiites is relatively good. In sensitive ministries such as the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Ministry of Interior, sensitive positions are not given to Shiites and their employment is limited, and they are less likely to be given a military rank higher than colonel.At the level of the Kuwaiti society, there are different political trends, each of which organizes open meetings on different occasions to discuss and examine current issues in political, economic and social dimensions.In recent years, the convergences of Shia groups inside Kuwait have been more than their divergences, and one of the important characteristics of Kuwaiti Shias is their strong influence from the Shia areas of Kuwait's neighboring countries.
