Kuwaiti Emir dissolves parliament

It doesn't sound as though things are going real well in Kuwait.

The emir of Kuwait has dissolved parliament and called elections, a week after lawmakers and the government clashed over an election reform law.

The decree by Sheikh Sabah al-Ahmad al-Sabah ordered the dissolution of the house a few days after reformist legislators submitted a request to grill Sheikh Nasser al-Mohammad al-Sabah, the prime minister.

Legislators wished to question the prime minister about a disputed draft law aimed at curbing voting irregularities.

State television said the new elections would be on June 29.

I haven't kept up with the disputes that have been going on for the past month or so there, but this doesn't sound as though they're being resolved easily.
