Bahrain Protest

On Monday Feburary 14, the ‘Day of Rage’ began in Bahrain Manama. There are a lot of young people protesting because of this. A quote from protestor says, “What happened in Egypt and Tunisia inspred us. For years, there has been hoplessness here, Are we ever really going to be able to change anything? With Egypt, there is sense of empowerment that the young people get.” He is saying that the Manama people are getting inspired by the Egypt and Tunisia protesting. I think that the Bahrain people are doing something they need to do. They are showing that they want their rights and want to see a change.

Ali Jassen a protestor stated this that is so true, “We don’t want to overthrow the ruling family; we just want to have our say.” Mr. Jassen is saying what every other protestor is stating. They just want their rights, and not take over the royal family.

I think that the royal family knows that they are not going to be overthrown, but they just don’t know what to do with the protests. There are conflicts between the royal family and the government so it would be hard to take care of the protests and its protesters. I think that the protesting is going to keep going if the people don’t get what they want
