Thanks for the link. I missed the funeral on Sunday.

I have questions:

1. Will there be any occassion when people and leaders give baiah to the new Emir Sheikh Saad?

2. When is the Coronation/Enthronement/Swearing in etc Ceremony for the new Emir?

first you are welcome

the answers for your questions :

1 - every thing relat to the new amir will be in parliament , and he the only one who can chose the new crown prince but if the parliament didn't agree on his choice he should give another names , although every one know that the new amir is very sick but I think every one will support him .

2 : I don't think there will be any ceremony for the new Emir , the people now in the palace to condonlence him and that's it .

every thing here very simple and move smothely becuase every one know his place .
