What is "bedoon"

The Bedoon ( Bidūn) Originally in Arabic as bidun jinsiyya transliterated as "without nationality" are a group in Persian Gulf Arab states and Iraq. The Bedoon are reportedly stateless people; several governments recognize them as illegal immigrants.

Kuwait considers the Bedoon illegal immigrants. The Kuwaiti government believes the Bedoon are foreign nationals from neighboring countries. Although many Bedoon are genuinely stateless, there is evidence that some Bedoon are foreign nationals hiding their true nationalities. Kuwait recently discovered the true nationalities of 6,000 Bedoon, most of whom were Saudi citizens.
