Sheikh Jaber Al-Ahmad Al-Jaber Al-Sabah biography
Sheikh Jaber III Al-Ahmad Al-Jaber Al-Sabah (June 29, 1926 - January 15, 2006), of the Al-Sabah dynasty, served as the emir of Kuwait from December 31, 1977 until his death on January 15, 2006.
Sheikh Jaber (of the Al-Sabah dynasty which has ruled Kuwait since its establishment in the 17th Century) was the third son of the late Sheikh Ahmad Al-Jaber Al-Sabah, who served as Kuwait's Emir from 1921 to 1950.
Sheikh Jaber received his early education at al-Mubarakiya School and was subsequently tutored privately in religion, English, Arabic, and sciences. In 1949, Sheikh Jaber served as Director of Public Service for the Ahmadi region. In 1962, he was appointed Kuwait's first Minister of Finance and Economy. Sheikh Jaber was appointed Prime Minister of Kuwait in 1965 and subsequently named Crown Prince in 1966. He succeeded his cousin, Sabah III Al-Salim Al-Sabah in December 1977, and had been Prime Minister of Kuwait for a decade before.
In 1981, he dissolved the National Assembly of Kuwait, exercising his powers as foreseen in Kuwait's Constitution. In 1991, after the Gulf War, Sheikh Jaber reinstated the National Assembly. In 1999 he proposed an amendment to Kuwait's Election Law, allowing women to elect and be elected; the bill was rejected by the National Assembly, however, and it was not re-introduced for the MPs until the year 2005, when Kuwait's parliament had finally granted Kuwait's women political rights.
Sheikh Jaber Al-Ahmed Al-Sabah passed away on January 15, 2006. He was succeeded by the Crown Prince, Saad Al-Abdullah Al-Salim Al-Sabah. The government announced a 40-day period of mourning.
