(Ahlul Bayt News Agency) – Deputy Foreign Minister for the Arab-African Affairs Hossein Amir-Abdollahian, said that Bahraini government must adopt democratic process by holding free and fair election to resolve the national crisis.
Amir-Abdollahin underlined that the ruling government in Bahrain should stop crackdown on democratic demands of the people.
ˈNational dialogue as well as the exit of foreign troops from Bahrain can help resolve the Bahraini national crisis, there.ˈ
On Syria, Amir-Abdollahian condemned foreign interference and arming the rebles in Syria. He noted that militarism will just fuel the flames of crisis in both Bahrain and Syria.
Anti-government protesters have been holding peaceful demonstrations across Bahrain since mid-February 2011, calling for an end to the al-Khalifa dynastyˈs over-40-year rule, end of discrimination, establishment of justice and a democratically-elected government as well as freedom of detained protesters.
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, 2011, to help Manama crack down on peaceful protestors.
So far, tens of people have been killed, hundreds have gone missing and thousands of others have been injured.
Syria also has been experiencing unrest since March 2011 with organized attacks by well-armed gangs against Syrian police forces and border guards being reported across the country.
Thousands of Syrian people, including members of the security forces, have been killed, when some protest rallies turned into armed clashes.
The government blames outlaws, saboteurs, and armed terrorist groups for the deaths, stressing that the unrest is being orchestrated from abroad.
In October 2011, calm was eventually restored in the Arab state after President Assad started a reform initiative in the country, but Israel, the US and its Arab allies are seeking hard to bring the country into chaos through any possible means. Tel Aviv, Washington and some Arab capitals have been staging various plots in the hope of increasing unrest in Syria.
