"The
Central Bank of Kuwait, in commemoration of the Second
Anniversary of Liberation Day
is issuing this special and Commemorative Note at the
nominal value of One Kuwaiti Dinar.
On the 26th of February 1991, the sovereignty of the
State of Kuwait was restored and the
people of Kuwait were freed of the tyrannical occupation.
Thereby, the legitimate government
has resumed its duties towards the reconstruction,
progress and prosperity of the country.
The liberation of Kuwait was achieved by the grace of God
and through the tireless efforts and
the sacrifice made by courageous men and women coupled
with the unprecedented alliance of
34 countries who supported the just Kuwaiti cause.
This special Note has been issued to express gratitude
and appreciation for the sacrifices and
support which culminated in the liberation of Kuwait.
This Note also serves as a reminder of the devastation
inflicted on Kuwait under occupation, in
particular the human suffering and the environmental
tragedy.
Sadly, innocent men, women, and children remain captive
in the aggressor's prisons.
We will continue to work, along with the international
community towards freeing these hostages.
We will not rest or cease our efforts until every single
person has returned safely to their homeland,
family and friends."
