Anglo-US sources have indicated a new security arrangement may be set up, similiar to the recently-signed CSCE agreement in Europe. The security of small Gulf states would then be assured by larger Arab nations, such as Egypt and Syria. The British Government has indicated it is considering retaining a permanent role in the region, suggesting a return to an "East of Suez" garrison. 101 Headlines 140 Gulf Plus Index Latest News Plus GulfIndex WorldNews

Kuwait's emir declared martial law on 26 February for three months. During this period Allied troops are likely to search for Iraqi troops and booby traps Kuwaiti govjrnment officials have indicated, while in exile, that they will also act to expel populations whose leaders supported Saddam Hussein. Within this category come Palestinians, Yemenis, and Jordanians, who formed a substantial part of Kuwait's labour force before the invasion. 101 Headlines 140 Gulf Plus Index Latest News Plus GulfIndex WorldNews

Although Kuwait's political system was relatively democratic compared to other nations in the region, it had been described as an enlightened despotism. US officials have said they favour democracy in Kuwait, although the emir dismissed parliament in 1985 after it disagreed with his policies. The emir has also said he would be prepared to host any western forces stationed in the Gulf after the war. 101 Headlines 140 Gulf Plus Index Latest News Plus GulfIndex WorldNews

Many lucrative engineering contracts were allocated to United States firms early on in the crisis, but continued destruction has created further needs. Kuwaiti officials have indicated they will award the contracts to their most staunch allies throughout the crisis. This is taken to mean US, Britain and France for their technology, and Saudi Arabia and Egypt for their labour. 101 Headlines 140 Gulf Plus Index Latest News Plus GulfIndex WorldNews

France and the Soviet Union have made clear a desire for an international - possibly UN - conference on the issue. Both the US and Britain have indicated peace must be reached. However, some commentators say the US told Israel no Palestinian state would be allowed in return for Israel not joining the war. 101 Headlines 140 Gulf Plus Index Latest News Plus GulfIndex WorldNews

US sources believe Iraq should remain intact, to counter Iranian regional presence and Turkish ambitions. The downfall of Saddam Hussein - always an unspoken war aim - is included in the scenario of an humiliating defeat and ceasefire dictated on Allied terms. US sources have considered occupying southern Iraq after the war, to control Iraq's vital revenue-earning oil exports, and hence its government. 101 Headlines 140 Gulf Plus Index Latest News Plus GulfIndex WorldNews
