Kuwait's prime minister and his government have resigned in response to escalating demands by protesters and opposition deputies over accusations of corruption.
Kuwait has tolerated criticism of its government to a degree rare among its Gulf neighbours, helping to insulate it from the protest-driven political tumult that has helped topple four Arab leaders this year.
But tensions rose sharply this month when opposition lawmakers and protesters stormed parliament to demand the resignation of prime minister Sheikh Nasser al-Mohammad al-Sabah.
