The monarchy of Bahrain in turmoil

Since mid-February, Bahrain was the scene of demonstrations against King Hamad bin Isa al-Khalifa. Opponents have managed to occupy the place of the Pearl, located in central Manama, the capital of the kingdom, before being removed violently. Local authorities have been able to count on the support of Saudi intervention forces came March 14, put down the revolt.

The sovereign has arrested Sunni leaders of the opposition to collusion with foreign countries who are accused of supporting the country's Shiite majority.
