“I strongly condemn the new act of violence in Sitra that killed one on-duty policeman and seriously injured two other policemen,” Sabine Taufmann, the German ambassador to Bahrain, said in a statement. “I offer my sincere condolences to the family of the victim. Germany strongly condemns these acts of violence. A solution to the current internal problems in Bahrain can only be found through the ongoing National Dialogue. Creating an environment of trust instead of violence is crucial to overcome the remaining differences and reach national reconciliation. On the eve of Ramadan, I call again upon all parties to speak out against any kind of violence,” she said.
