Kuwait Emir Dissolves Parliament Over oil prices around the world stay low (BBC) by ManirBK: 10:25pm On Oct 16, 2016
Kuwait's cabinet has resigned and parliament has been dissolved, triggering early elections.
The moves follow disputes between MPs and the government over fuel price increases in the oil-rich country.
State-run TV cited a "lack of co-operation".
As oil prices around the world stay low,Kuwait's government has cut some benefits including fuel subsidies, hiking the cost of petrol by up to 80%. This led to growing dissent.
The government would have completed its normal four-year term in July next year.
MPs in the current parliament are widely regarded as pro-government but have filed three requests to ask ministers about the price rises.
After an emergency government meeting on Sunday afternoon Kuwait's emir, Sheikh Sabah al-Ahmad al-Sabah, issued a decree dissolving the national assembly "given the circumstances in the region".
The state-run television channel and news agency announced that the entire cabinet had resigned.
