Devastation and Liberation | Dramatic Footage Captures End of the Gulf War (1991)
On 28 February 1991, US President George HW Bush announced a ceasefire in the US–led war against Iraqi forces under Saddam Hussein, seven months after Iraq invaded and occupied neighbouring Kuwait. That day, ITN journalists entered Kuwait City, documenting jubilant Kuwaitis celebrating the country’s liberation amid scenes of widespread devastation. The footage presented here was recorded on the last day of fighting and during the week that followed the war’s end. 00:00:00 Introduction 00:02:30 28 February 1991 - Entering Kuwait City 00:06:01 Kuwaiti militiamen search for Iraqi soldiers 00:11:48 Kuwait International Airport and remnants of British Airways flight 149 00:15:01 Interviews with first British troops to land at Kuwait Airport 00:29:33 Ruins of Old Ships Port, Kuwait City 00:30:56 Kuwaiti street celebrations 00:35:10 1 March 1991 00:38:55 Abandoned Iraqi defences on coast of Kuwait City 00:51:13 Celebrations amid the oil fires 00:57:59 2 March 1991 - Kuwaitis and British troops celebrate together 01:07:19 3 March 1991 01:09:00 The Emir's Palace - ruins and booby traps 01:16:07 4 March 1991 01:20:07 Kuwait National Assembly building (burned by fleeing Iraqis) 01:21:26 Crown Prince Sheikh Saad al-Abdullah al-Sabah returns to Kuwait from exile in Saudi Arabia #GulfWar #GulfWar1991 #Kuwait #LiberationOfKuwait #Iraq #SaddamHussein #Saddam #CombatFootage #MilitaryHistory #OperationDesertStorm #DesertStorm #KuwaitCity #History #1991 To license the footage featured in this clip, follow the link below: https://www.gettyimages.co.uk/search/...
