Bahrain Revolution

[Al-Wazeer]

A lot of you probably heard about the Bahrain revolution in the middle east, well I brought some photos for you to see.
It's been forty days since it began, more than 19 dead, 1000's wounded, more than a hundred missing, and not even a single demand was fulfilled by the regime. They brought foreign troops plus the Bahraini army, with their armors, tanks, Copra helicopters, jet-fighters (F16 I think), all of this to suppress unarmed people who demand their legitimate rights in every possible peaceful way. They removed the Pearl roundabout which was considered as the center of the demonstrators, the government claimed that it was for "development".

Now with some photos I took during the revolution.

Nice shots mate. Obviously a lot of passion and emotion from the people!

Thank you both for your comments, yes people are really passionate about their case and they believe that they will change something in the country. Unfortunately the well is being broken every time somebody get killed, yesterday the riot police killed a 15 year old kid by shooting a sound bomb right on his head.

Thanks Yousif for sharing these images. I am happy that you are safe.

The events in the ME that have spawned since the uprising in Tunsia have been frightening, tragic, coalescing and optimistic for all the people. May you and yours continue to stay safe and well.
