Al-e Khalifa Dialogue with Opposition Strayed from Path of Real Reform
Bahrain’s Shia Leader Ayatollah Sheikh Issa Qassem said the dialogue between Al-e Khalifa regime and the opposition has diverted from the path of true reforms.
Delivering the Friday prayer sermons at Imam Sadeq (AS) Mosque in Manama’s Al-Diraz district yesterday, he added that the meetings between the regime and the opposition are a farce that is far from what the nation expects.
He stressed that a dialogue expected to achieve an acceptable solution must be a serious one, Al-A’hd website reported.
The Shia cleric said the current negotiations will only complicate the situation and lead to more crisis rather than solve the crisis.
He reiterated that the country’s salvation from the current situation lies in introducing reforms.
“The Al-e Khalifa regime moves in the direction of making the situation worse and more complicated and creating obstacles in the way of the country’s exit from the current impasse.”
Bahrain has been the scene of a popular uprising since mid-February 2011, when the people, inspired by the popular revolutions that toppled the dictators of Tunisia and Egypt, started holding massive demonstrations.
The Bahraini government promptly launched a brutal crackdown on the peaceful protests and called in Saudi-led Arab forces from neighboring states.
