A number of senior men from the Azmi tribe called for inducing a sense on national unity and supporting the Kuwaiti leadership to steer away from any friction in the fabric of the society. In various statements to KUNA, the tribesmen expressed appreciation to His Highness the Amir of Sheikh Sabah Al-Ahmad Al-Jaber Al-Sabah and His Highness the Crown Prince Sheikh Nawaf Al-Ahmad Al-Jaber Al-Sabah for attending a dinner banquet that was held on their honor yesterday. \"The Kuwaiti people have always stood behind Al-Sabah family since they began their rule,\" Fehhad Matir Mubarak Al-Mil\'abi noted. \"Animosity and tension are detrimental to the wholeness of the society; therefore, these unwanted acts should be avoided to keep the cohesiveness of national unity.\" Ahmad Abdullah Al-Shatli, meanwhile, said that the attendance of Their Highnesses to the dinner banquet was a translation of the closeness of the leadership to its people. \"It is an indication to the close connection between the ruler and the ruled.\" \"This connection is ongoing since the beginning of Al-Sabah rule. It is a familiar sight to see the Amir of Kuwait connects with the people on different occasions,\" Faraj bin Durai Al-Azmi, another leading tribesman, stressed. He wished prosperity and unity to the Kuwaiti leadership and its people against all hardships.
