Quote from tradingjournals:
I read that the gulf dictatorships met yesterday in Bahrain, and came out in support of Bahrain's action on democracy protesters. Probably they are scared that a success in Bahrain would mean a spread to the other dictatorships.
Is the shooting done by Bahrainis or mercenaries/security thugs from the other dictatorships?
10 deaths is a lot for a country with only 600K citizens. It is the equivalent of say 1500 for a population like Egypt. Egypt lost 300 in 15 days, while Bahrain is losing as much in about 2 days. A ratio of 35.
Where the UN and the tribunals in the Hague to try the dictators of Bahrain?
I am very well versed in the different Gulf accents for I was born and raised in Qatar. I watched an army commander who came out on Bahraini news spewing threats against the demonstrators. Though he tried to speak in a Bahraini accent, it was very clear that, under such fake accent, the army commander had an Eastern Saudi one.
There are far more than 10 deaths. There are hundreds of people missing.
When ambulances tried to enter the Pearl Roundabout to retrieve the dead and injured, they were prevented from doing so for eight hours. The ambulance attendees testified that there were refrigerated trucks parked next to the roundabout at the time. After the security forces left, there were no injured or dead civilians to retrieve.
