Bahrain Revolutionaries Dismiss Talks with Al-Khalifa as “Political Suicide”

The February 14 Youth Movement, a main opposition to the Manama regime, condemned talks and reconciliation with the country’s tyrannical rulers, underlining that any kind of negotiation with the al-Khalifa regime would be a “political suicide”.
In a statement issued today, the opposition movement cautioned that the numerous grisly crimes committed by the Bahraini king, Hamad bin Isa Al Khalifa, have made him a pharaoh who has passed the point of no return.

The statement underlined that the embarrassing and “inhumane measures adopted by the al-Khalifa regime display his ethical and political deviation as a cruel king who resorts to every possible action to remain in power”.

“The al-Khalifa government lost its credit and legitimacy after the February 14 Revolution and our people no more trust in the cunning fox and dictator,” it reiterated.

The Bahraini youth also stressed that they would pursue the case with the crimes of the country’s rulers through international bodies, and would not waste their time and energy on useless talks with dictators.

“Any kind of talks with the dictatorial regime of Bahrain by any political grouping or society will be a political suicide strongly condemned by the people.

“People never accept to be under the yoke of the al-Khalifa and talk under war and Saudi invasion of their country,” it reiterated.

Anti-government protesters have been holding peaceful demonstrations across Bahrain since mid-February, calling for an end to the Al Khalifa dynasty’s over-40-year rule.

Violence against the defenseless people escalated after a Saudi-led conglomerate of police, security and military forces from the Persian Gulf Cooperation Council (PGCC) member states – Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, the United Arab Emirates, Oman and Qatar – were dispatched to the tiny Persian Gulf kingdom on March 13 to help Manama crack down on peaceful protestors.

So far, tens of people have been killed, hundreds have gone missing and about 1,000 others have been injured.

Yet, protests and rallies continued throughout the country in defiance of the martial law put in place by Manama since last month.

During the recent days, Bahrainis have repeatedly underlined that they will continue protests until the regime collapses and condemned Riyadh’s involvement in the suppression of the revolution.
