Qurain, Kuwait

Qurain City (Arabic: منطقة القرين) is an area in Kuwait, located in the Mubarak Al-Kabeer Governorate.

On February 24, 1991, 19 young Kuwaiti men from the "Messila" resistance group had armed themselves and were preparing a strike against the invading Iraqi army.

While the men were discussing their plan, an Iraqi patrol unit was in the area and eventually checked on one of the three houses in which the resistance group congregated.

Heavily outnumbered and underarmed, the Kuwaiti men were eventually defeated by Iraqi tanks and soldiers.

The symbolic thing about this house is that it represented a wide spectrum of Kuwaiti people from different sects and ancestral backgrounds.
