How much proof does the government of Bahrain need to realize that Saudi Arabia is not its mother, older sister or aunt, because the balance of interests is not ruled by such sentimental labels.

Since Bahrain does not have any form of food security, a piece of news such as 'Saudi dairy companies raising their prices' affects Bahraini citizens.

Qatar does not seem ready to loosen the rope with Bahrain yet, as Al-Jazeera's coverage and Qatari-funded newspapers' talk of Bahraini affairs indicate that Doha believes it is not time yet to settle their issues with Manama.

The Bahraini authorities turned the 10th day of Muharram into a maneuver, deploying exaggerated numbers of troops and vehicles everywhere in Bahrain.

On the ninth day of Muharram 2021, the Interior Ministry intensified the deployment of its troops in dozens of Shiite areas, commemorating Ashura, for the purpose of intimidation and imposing restrictions on the annual religious rituals.

On the seventh day of Muharram 2021, security authorities attacked a mourning procession in Hamad Town and arrested two mourners, while troops continued to deploy in the vicinity of some Ma'tams (mourning halls).

The Movement turned away from all the important issues that needed to be dealt with, including maintaining security, and instead occupied itself with taking down Ashura manifestations, reminiscent of what the Bahraini regime is doing these days by restricting the Shiite community's commemoration of Ashura rites.

On the sixth day of Muharram (1443 Hijri/August 15, 2021), government agencies continued targeting the events and manifestations of Ashura in various ways and means, this time using the Coronavirus and the medical team as a pretext to impose strict restrictions on the religious practices of the Shiite majority in the country.

On the sixth day of Muharram (1443 Hijri/August 15, 2021), government agencies continued targeting the events and manifestations of Ashura in various ways and means, this time using the Coronavirus and the medical team as a pretext to impose strict restrictions on the religious practices of the Shiite majority in the country.

The fifth day of the holy month of Muharram 1443 AH (Saturday, August 14, 2021) recorded a continuation of the violations committed by the forces of the Interior Ministry against the Shiite majority, holding events in most areas across Bahrain on the anniversary of the martyrdom of Imam Hussein (PBUH).

On the fourth day of Muharram 2021, the Bahraini Interior Ministry continued its crackdown on Ashura commemoration rituals in Bahraini villages and cities as part of an ongoing sectarian approach.

On the third day of Muharram, Bahraini security services continued their ongoing campaign against Ashura manifestations in Bahraini villages and cities as part of a series of systematic and sectarian targeting repeated annually.

On the second day of Muharram, Bahraini authorities continued to target Ashura manifestations in towns and villages, while officials and officers inspected obsequies and met with their heads.

A tweet, written by Bahraini activist Yousif Al-Khaja on his Twitter page, may sum up the reality of the activity of state agencies, led by the Bahraini Interior Ministry, restricting Shiite citizens in their commemoration of Ashura on the anniversary of the martyrdom of Imam Hussein (PBUH).

In a very clear move, Riyadh turned its back on Manama despite its cries and complaints against Qatar and its media. Saudi Arabia, the largest and most powerful country in the GCC system, is no longer paying attention to what Bahrain's official media reiterates on the daily.

Al-Araibi's family, who lives in the village of Al-Musalla, was saddened by the loss of their son Imad a few months after his release from prison following 8 years of arbitrary arrest.

After days of controversy caused by the public media and Bahraini officials, Bahrain's King Hamad bin Isa Al Khalifa does not seem to be serious about controlling the media escalation against Qatar and respecting the Al-Ula agreement.

Bahrainis, like the rest of the world, are following what is happening in the Tunisian Republic, after the Tunisian president, with the help of the country's military and security forces, dismissed the government and suspended the Parliament, in the first strongholds of the 2011 Arab Spring.

Qataris launched a collective response to what was published by press affiliated with the authorities in Bahrain which stated that Shiites in Qatar are subjected to religious discrimination.

In February, former MP Khalid Abdulal returned to Bahrain after apologizing to the King and Interior Ministry. He was promised by the king’s son that no one would harm him. After two weeks only, he was summoned and arrested.
