*In the early 1990s, Kuwait '''expelled approximately 400,000 Palestinian''' expats. Kuwait's policy was a response to alignment of Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat and the PLO with Saddam Hussein. | |||
*Kuwait also '''deported thousands of Iraqis and Yemenis''' after the Gulf War. | |||
*In addition, hundreds of thousands of stateless Bedoon (stateless people found in several Middle Eastern countries) were expelled from Kuwait in the early-to-mid 1990s.<ref>"Kuwait", in Wikipedia, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kuwait#Ethnic_groups, accessed 17 July 2021.</ref> | |||
*There are over 14,000 '''Kuwaiti students''' studying at universities across the U.S. Kuwaiti Students have created communities in certain cities or states. States like '''California (in cities such as Fresno), Arizona, Colorado, Florida, Illinois, Pennsylvania and West Virginia''' have large Kuwaiti populations. Population estimates are seen to have a very small diaspora, mainly because Kuwait provides students with more than adequate welfare benefits and Kuwait is one of the wealthiest countries in the world, removing the need for Kuwaitis to live and work in other developed countries. | |||
