AFP: Kuwait MPs urge GCC to expel Russian envoys over Aleppo

Opposition MPs in Kuwait urged Gulf Cooperation Council nations on Tuesday to expel Russian ambassadors over what they called Moscow's role in "genocide" against civilians in the Syrian city of Aleppo.

The lawmakers also signed a motion calling on the newly elected parliament to hold an emergency meeting next week in support of the city.

"There is a genocide being committed against civilians in Aleppo amid total international negligence," MP Jamaan al-Harbash told a small rally in the parliament building.
