"My parents and friends are in Bahrain reporting a massacre. Why isn't the media? "

[sarmad]

I just picked this up from another site.

Hi, I've been a lurker for a year or so now and I've always wanted to contribute something of value but never known what - now my dear friend has asked me to "tell the world...pls".
My parents and friends are reporting via tweets and facebook that the 1,000+ Saudi troops in Bahrain have started hunting down villages that are populated by Shia protesters. I'm 21 and the best comparison I can give is when you get 5+ stars in Grand Theft Auto - tanks EVERYWHERE. They are now actively taking occupying these villages and shooting to kill. I'm a Politics student and it is clear to me that what Bahrain is doing contravenes various United Nations charters and I cannot understand why this is being allowed to happen. This is a desperate situation. Above all, its so unfortunate that other, very distressing events are happening across the world because unfortunately the media only want to cover the 'top 3' bad things and then move back on to useless filler. Hopefully Reddit can help spread the word.
TL:DR - PLEASE spread the word - Bahrain has roughly 1,500 troops roaming around where the population is 1,000,000. Scaled up, that's like 90,000 troops roaming around the UK, doing what they will. Also AMA if you want more info on political background etc as I know not everyone has had a first hand experience of the Middle East.
UPDATE : The press are now reporting exactly what the Government has said which is that there will be a State of Emergency for perhaps three months. This is still not good enough. If anyone can find a decent video feed of what is happening in the villages in Bahrain then I would be very grateful - they are essentially raiding these people's homes and apparently some have been kidnapped. It is not as simple as it is currently being reported.
UPDATE 2: Ok so I've received a video since having put up that picture. This is the video of the man who had his head blown apart. GORE - BAD - whatever you want to label it, this is what is happening in Bahrain. The video is available on a Facebook page, I hope that you are all able to see it although I do warn that it is very nasty. As I have now been informed the man's name is Ahmed Farhan. He was 24 years old and I'm grateful for any messages of support for his family and friends as more Bahrainis read this themselves.

Is that not Iran behind all this unrest in Bahrain.
Trying to spread his influence beyond its borders.
The Khaleej Al Arab has very strategic issue between Iran and GCC countries.
By holding the control on Bahrain, Iran will be in stronger position in Khaleej.

Good Saudis have come to help. They are good in crushing those who disagree. They should also be brought to Pakistan to help fight terrorism.

Complete nonsense!. Pakistan would crush these Saudi's within a few days and they know it so would never even think of us, like cowards they oppress the minority shi'ite community in Bahrain.

If these Saudi's are so tough then why don't they free their land from the Israeli's ehh?? Too afraid of getting owned withing 24 hours methinks!

Saudis dont have any land dispute with Israel.

I am not denying that they may be killing in Bahrain but reject your comment that they should be "bought to Pakistan to fight terrorism" as we don't need them, our military is far superior then any Arab force!. Perhaps Pakistan should invade Saudi to stop the preaching of their violent brand of Islam in our schools!

Qaiser, the Arab people includes Saudis, together they have a land dispute with Israelis that is occupied Palestine!. The so-called kingdom of Saudi Arabia has only been on the map for a very short time.

its the Iran who is creating problem ? its the Iran behind Egypt, Libya and Tunisia ?
