Bahrain has been unfotunately living under difficult times since a group of protestors began rallying across the country. These protests are unfortunately backed by religious leaders leading an innocent group - just to achieve their political agenda. Lies have been spreading across the country by this group to create sectarianism between its people. Additionally, the words “Oppression”, “Freedom”, “Massacres” have been used to aggravate media. To know what we have had to live through, please continue reading..

The protestors began their protest on the roads of Bahrain's business centre on 14 February 2011 and continued daily asking for reform. On 17 February 2011, the police asked the protesters to disperse, a few agreed but unfortunately others chose to abide by the words of their religious leaders to die as “martyrs”. Unfortunately, our mislead Bahraini youth put themselves in danger by confronting police and after several attempts by police force to disperse the crowd, clashes occurred and lead to the unfortunate death of 7 protestors and 1 member of the police force. This included unfortunate injuries from both sides, including protestors driving over a member of the police force and cutting off the fingers of another and more.

This incident was a sad day for Bahrain, where the Crown Prince Shaikh Salman bin Hamad Al Khalifa ("CP"), announced on national TV his severe sorrow to the families of the dead and injured and that there will be an investigation to see how and why this had happened - to serve justice to all. He also called for dialogue between the protestors and all parties and individuals who wish to discuss and agree on behalf of the nation all their demands. He added, that all forces will retreat from the roads to avoid any further clashes. He set a day of mourning and asked the protestors to come forward for dialogue following that.

Following the CP's call for peace, all forces retreated and the protestors were left to protest on the GCC roundabout, which leads to the key business district - wher they literally moved and camped there. Protestors were barbequing, cooking, on their laptops and internet, projecting the TV on the white monument on the middle of the roundabout, parked their cars all of the roads causing major traffic issues, amongst other things This continued for one month, where the protestors continued to refuse dialogue - obliging to their religious leaders.

On 22 February and 2 March 2011 Bahraini citizens who believed that reform should take place through dialogue with the CP and not through protesting on a roundabout, joined hands to show their agreement to begin dialogue during an event named The Gathering of National Unity ("TGONU"). Over 350,000 attended each event.

Unfortunately, the protestors still continued to refuse dialogue in comparision to their brothers of TGONU. Since 14 February to date, the protestors have created fear and sectarianism on our streets – not giving us our freedom to peacefully commence with dialogue.

Some of the actions taken by the protestors were as follows:

1. Starting illegal protests across the Kingdom, and not only on the Roundabout, but specifically on major areas and roads across the country; this lead residents not being able to get on with their daily lives and affecting our economy in an unbelievable way. This included, expatriates leaving the country out of fear, financial institutions considering moving their headquarters to other countries, and many more.

2. Verbally and physically abusing people passing by hitting on their cars or using words of hate.

3. Asking children (of all ages & gender) in schools all over the country to physically and verbally abuse their classmates who are not protesting. In some instances, children protesting were found with knives in their pockets, and there were instances of injuries.

4. Students (of all ages & gender) attending schools briefly in the morning and then storming out of schools by either getting picked up by 6-wheel vehicles to drop them off to the Roundabout or putting themselves in danger by walking through major busy roads and highways protesting for the fall of the regime.

5. Students bullying their classmates of the other sect, verbally and physically, and being supported by the teachers who support the protests.

6. Medical staff and ambulances of Bahrain's national hospital (Salmaniya Hospital) who support the protests, not attending to patients that are from the other sect. This lead to many inhumane and unethical acts from the medical staff, including, transferring weapons through ambulances to support protestors. This lead to patients fearing to go to hospital due to it being partially overtaken by protestors.

7. Protestors literally blocking major roads to Bahrain's business centre by piling sand, bricks, in some cases sofas and more.

8. Attacks on naturalized citizens as protestors are against naturalization. This included an incident of attacking a Pakistani in a mosque who calls for prayer, by beating him and cutting off his tongue.

9. Inhumane attacks on low-income Asians by kidnapping them, beating them and tying them up, where it led to the unfortunate death of 2 Asians in Bahrain. These incidents lead many Asians to flee the country out of fear from the protestors.

10. Attacks on the police force including several incidents where they were ran over by cars leading to their death. There was one specific inhumane incident where one of the police officers was beaten and kicked after his death - having been driven over by a Jeep.

11. Protests and attacks in University of Bahrain ("UoB"), where several students of the other sect were beaten up, including tearing some of the women’s clothing and even an incident of beating a woman who is currently in ICU at hospital.

12. Protestors handing over flowers to police to look peaceful on camera, but holding knives, clubs, switch blades and more behind them.

We the have been terrorized by the actions of these protesters who are acting as outlaws and do not represent the majority who want reform. Army forces have had to intervene, once things got out of hand and protestors literally hijacked Bahrain. They had to intervene in order to stop the insanity against residents including citizens and expatriates.

Unfortunately media has been fed that "Saudi Forces" have entered Bahrain which is not true. The GCC forces have entered Bahrain to protect public property ONLY and in case of Iran interference which is seen as a key party in all of this; Iran has always had an interest in Bahrain and evidence has been found of its meddling in Bahrain’s internal matters in the recent protests.

Unfortunately, ever since 14 February 2011, residents have had a war raged against them by the media; no voices from the parties who haven’t protested have been heard and it is due to this war with the media. Many lies have been made up to create a “story”, which are baseless, and provided by the protestors to major international organisations across the world including Amnesty International, the United Nations, BBC, CNN, Al Arabia, Al Jazira, Human Rights Watch, the White House and many more through the contacts they have built.

Further to all of this, to feed media, in some instances, protestors have actually used make up and actual blood to look injured on camera – I know that’s unbelievable! I do not deny the unfortunate deaths from both sides, which has caused our country to be in a state of mourning ever since. But, the fact that we cannot deny, is that the protestors are trying to portray that they are speaking on behalf of all Bahrainis which is not true, and secondly, portraying that there are "massacres" taking place, which is also thankfully not true.

Having lived through this for over one month, and seeing how the reporting of the situation has been handled in media, I am still in a state of shock at how the media business really operates. I do wish people do assess both sides and verify the information they receive prior to making an educated decision. I will leave the rest to you.

Hi Dickweed

your response to the excellent solidarity action looks uncannily like a statement from a PR agency working on behalf of the Bahraini Royal family.

Maybe the Al Khalifa family have hired the services of Bell Pottinger like that grecian-2000-loser Mubarak who is now under house arrest...

Lets hope that the murderous Al Khalifas are under house arrest soon...

Dear Psyops,

Unfortunately, its unprofessional ppl like you that 'try' to make a msg that is so genuine look like something else. But anyway, I'm going to take it as a compliment, I'm glad i sound good enough to look like I work for a PR agency.
Trust me, my government is so bad at PR they wouldn't even think of hiring an agency.
You would be extremely surprised at the number of bahrainis willing to back their government after what the protestors have caused in Bahrain.
Obviously you are completely relying on news from international media and human rights organisations, unfortunately you have to be IN bahrain to understand the situation, otherwise it another egypt to you. Its completely different here, there are deep rooted issues that people need to understand, but having read your comment, I think it would be too high level for you to understand.
If i get a chance tomorrow, i'll try to post some videos of what the protestors have done, like kill? or is that too hard for you to believe?

Good luck living in world which you take for face value:)

Thanks for bothering to comment though!

regards!
