  1. Hi there,

    I wanted to contact the Safat team or Kuwaitblogs but couldn’t find a way to get in touch, even the FAQ section isn’t working.. so I hope you could be of help.

    Our posts are not showing on Safat’s feed, we thought it won’t last for long, but it did.. How can we solve this issue?

    Sorry for going off topic with the comment :)
