From Angry Arab's chief correspondent on Bahrain: "There are two scandals going on in Bahrain right now:
- First you have the UAE's Interior Minister (I didn't actually verify the twitter account so you should double check) tweeting about his visit to UAE troops in Bahrain. Pro-regime newspaper also tweeted the picture.
- The second is leaked documents allegedly proving the presence of 499 Jordanian policemen in Bahrain. The documents were leaked to Bahrain Mirror, which is a news website based in London that is comprised of Bahraini journalists and activists that fled Bahrain after the crackdown. The website publishes a mixture of rumors and credible articles. I have no way of verifying the authenticity of these documents although I have no doubt that they are true.
Someone should really write a book or paper about why the majority of Bahrain's security forces are comprised of foreign nationals. I mean there is something really strange about a regime that needs to import people to defend it. On a similar note, here's an article in AlAkbar about political naturalization in Bahrain: . Again why is it that the Bahraini regime feels the need to change the demographics of the country? What kind of regime simply wants to replace its own citizens?
