Bahrain’s king heads to Saudi Arabia as protests mount
ALI KHALIL |
Published: 2011/02/23 07:12:45 AM |
BAHRAIN’s embattled King Hamad bin Issa al-Khalifa will head to Saudi Arabia today, reports said, as tens of thousands of supporters of the country’s Shiite-led opposition poured into a square in Manama yesterday.
Saudi Arabia was stung by the loss of an ally in former Egyptian leader Hosni Mubarak and events in Bahrain, where it backs the ruling Sunni al-Khalifa family.
King Abdullah of Saudi Arabia, who was recovering from a back operation in Morocco, returned to Riyadh yesterday .
Tens of thousands of Shiites rallied yesterday , calling for the government’s downfall in the largest rally so far in more than a week of protests. Streets of the capital were clogged as protesters marched from Manama’s Bahrain Mall to Pearl Square, the focal point of anti-regime demonstrations, witnesses said.
The latest march comes despite Sheik al-Khalifa ordering the release of all political prisoners and halting trial procedures against others.
The Gulf kingdom has been in turmoil since last Thursday’s police raid on Pearl Square. The army was pulled back to bases on Saturday and all security forces were ordered to stay away from protesters, who ever since have crowded Pearl Square to demand the end of the al-Khalifa dynasty.
In a speech to the Kuwaiti parliament yesterday , British Prime Minister David Cameron praised security co-operation with Gulf countries, but said people should get their rights.
"History is sweeping through your neighbourhood," he said of protests that have also taken place in Kuwait, Algeria, Libya, Yemen, Morocco, Jordan and Iraq, as well as Iran. "Not as a result of force and violence, but by people seeking their rights, and in the vast majority of cases doing so peacefully and bravely," he said.
In Egypt yesterday the key portfolios of defence, interior, foreign, finance and justice were unchanged in a cabinet reshuffle, state TV confirmed when it broadcast the swearing in ceremony for the new ministers.
The reshuffle included changing the veteran oil minister, as well as introducing politicians who had been opposed to the rule of Mr Mubarak . Reuters

Bahrain leaders withdraw tanks
Concerns grow in Saudi Arabia as protest fever sweeps Bahrain.
Caryle MurphyFebruary 18, 2011 16:27 Concerns grow in Saudi Arabia as protest fever sweeps Bahrain.
In apparent response to international calls for restraint, Bahrain leaders withdrew their tanks from the square, a large area in the capital of Manama, on Saturday. On Thursday and Friday, government forces in the tiny island state had been quick to open fire on peaceful protesters.
Crown Prince Salman bin Hamad Al Khalifa addressed the nation on television Saturday, appealing for calm and political dialogue. "Citizens of Bahrain, let's work together with all political blocks to help return the security situation to normal so we can announce a day of mourning for those we've lost," Salman said.

THE JEWISH CONTROLLED American media paints Russia’s Prime Minister Vladimir Putin as an evil demagogue.
Here is an example from Time Magazine’s A Tzar Is Born December 2007 article:
— “No one is born with a stare like Vladimir Putin’s. His pale blue eyes are so devoid of emotion that the stare must have begun as someone who understood that power might be achieved by the suppression of ordinary needs, like blinking.
Putin is unmistakably Russian with chiseled facial features and those penetrating eyes. One senses that Putin pays constant obeisance to a determined inner discipline. He is a believer and often reads the Bible.”
