Situation became very different suddenly after the huge clashes during the first week. There were so many pro-government rallies were organized with the support of many Bahrainis. Unfortunately they didn’t attract the international media as much as the anti-government protests.
As it’s expected, BBC and Al Jazeera are only talking about the anti-government protests while the state media only talk about the pro. The crown prince called for an immediate dialog with the relevant parties and took away all the army troops from the Perl round about. The roundabout has become the main centre for these pro-reform protests.
I got a chance to pass the area couple of time during last few weeks. A remarkable number of women were noticed at the place. Young men were e waving flags and showing the images of the victims to the people who passed by. Many young people were very active in the demonstrations. A very young woman or a man walking around wearing the flag on the back is a common scene in the city.
Both anti and pro government rallies were organizes in a major scale for last couple of days. I witnessed one pr- reform rally near Central market yesterday. Thousands of people marched together holding flags and making different statements.
