Ahmad Al-Jaber Al-Sabah

Ahmad Al-Jaber Al-Sabah, (1885 - 29 January 1950) (Arabic: أحمد الجابر الصباح‎) was sheikh of Kuwait from 29 March 1921 until 29 January 1950, and the 10th ruler of the Al-Sabah dynasty of Kuwait.^[1]

He was the eldest son of Jabir II Al-Sabah, who was shaykh of Kuwait between 1915-17. Ahmad Al-Jaber Al-Sabah rose to power after the death of his uncle Salim Al-Mubarak Al-Sabah in 1921. During his reign, the borders of Kuwait were re-drawn at a meeting in 'Uqayr by Sir Percy Cox. Ahmad and many Kuwawitis were angry over the new borders, because approximately one-third of Kuwait's territory was ceded to 'Abd al-'Aziz ibn 'Abd al-Rahman, the ruler of Najd (and later, Saudi Arabia).

Death

He died at Kuwait's Dasman Palace in 1950. His son Jaber Al-Ahmad Al-Jaber Al-Sabah was the Emir of Kuwait from 1977 to 2006. His son Sabah Al-Ahmad Al-Jaber Al-Sabah is the current emir (from 2006).
