The Kuwaiti cabinet has resigned, the state-run Kuwait News Agency reported Thursday.
The government ministers made their move "following the recent local developments and their relevant negative aftershocks on the country's national unity, security and stability," the agency cited cabinet minister Roudhan Al-Roudhan as saying.
The decision came during a special meeting Thursday afternoon, the agency said.
The emirate's ruler, Sheikh Sabah Al-Ahmad Al-Jaber Al-Sabah, is expected to appoint replacements.
Last month, protesters clashed with security forces in Kuwait, demanding greater rights for longtime residents who are not citizens of the country.
