TODAY'S HIGHLIGHTS
BAHRAIN
Bahrain Revolution has proved to be the most peaceful one compared to all the Arab revolutions, It has been called revolution of roses, as they faced the barrels of guns, tanks and many methods of oppression and abuse they continued to give flowers and be tolerant. Peaceful demonstrations in Bahrain did not satisfy the government, because it revealed the violence from the Al-Khalifa regime and Saudis to the public, the government came with malicious ideas to change the curriculum and drag the scene to justify acts of violence even to address them. the government was in trouble, when the card of thugs was played in the villages to attack the people and houses, but the courageous and statesmanship of young Bahrainis made the government tremble all over, which was needed to indicate the protesters violently. The Government played many cards and tried different tricks .. However, the movements and ideas of peace explained that the protest is peaceful, which showed the evil government. After 100 days of its beginning, we will continue a peaceful revolution in Bahrain.
