FILE - In this Sept. 30, 2020 file photo, the new Emir of Kuwait Sheikh Nawaf Al Ahmad Al Sabah, waves after he was sworn in at the Kuwaiti National Assembly in Kuwait. The state news agency said Wednesday, Oct. 7, 2020, that the deputy chief of the National Guard, who spent years in the oil-rich country’s security services, was nominated as crown prince. The nomination makes Sheikh Meshal Al Ahmed Al Jaber Al Sabah the heir apparent to the 83-year-old new emir. But lawmakers must approve the chosen successor during its final session on Thursday, ahead of the formation of a new government. (AP Photo/Jaber Abdulkhaleg, File)
