Kassem and his communist-supported regime.
It is interesting to note that although the ANM was

the U.A.R. Thus, it defended the independence of Kuwait in
1961, when the Kassem regime laid claim to the newly inde-
pendent sheikhdom as an integral part of Iraq.

issue of Arab unity; the struggle against the local communists
and the reactionary forces in the Arab World; the emphasis
on the policy of positive neutralism; the support for the
Algerian Revolution; and last but not least, the support for
the U.A.R. internally and externally.
