The rulers of Bahrain, as is their wont, used to use any occasion or exercise that occurred within the nation to shine their ugly picture, which was related within the minds of many with oppression, tyranny, corruption, squandering of wealth, and persecution of the indigenous inhabitants (Shiites and Sunnis). That is what the Al-Khalifa gang does continually when it hosts a convention, sports activities match, or political or mental determine. A lot has been stated about sportswashing, by which host nations exploit sports activities in an effort to wash away their deteriorating repute. For years, the Bahrain authorities has been internet hosting the automotive race referred to as “System 1”. She noticed this as a chance to hyperlink the ruling household’s repute to sports activities reasonably than to torture and prisons.
This time, the ruling gang hosted the Arab Summit this week in circumstances that don’t differ when it comes to badness and political rigidity from earlier eras, particularly after what the nation has witnessed since 2011, when the individuals revolted for political change that was lengthy overdue. As soon as once more, this gang seeks to combine up the playing cards and attempt to divert consideration from what is going on to the inhabitants who’re subjected to essentially the most horrific strategies of persecution. Right here it’s value noting some related points, together with the next:
First: The primary challenge that issues the Arab nation as of late is the problem of Palestine and its individuals and the persecution and abuse they’re subjected to by the hands of the brutal Zionist occupation. This summit is meant to focus its leaders’ deliberations on insurance policies to raise this persecution and shield the Palestinian individuals from the strategies of genocide practiced by the occupation forces. Speaking about genocide just isn’t fabricated, however reasonably it’s the frequent language in worldwide circles when speaking concerning the struggling of the Palestinian individuals. Nonetheless, the summit didn’t pay enough consideration to this challenge, and the leaders who went to Bahrain contented themselves with repeating the phrases contained within the last statements of earlier summits, with out bothering to analysis and concentrate to what’s occurring within the occupied territories. After they mentioned the problem of Palestine, they’d the American bogeyman in thoughts, and every of them was trembling for worry of disturbing the White Home or arousing the ire of the Zionist foyer in Western capitals. It restricted itself to calling for an finish to the aggression towards Gaza, however it didn’t name for criminalizing relations with the occupying entity. The result’s that the Manama Summit didn’t provide you with selections that shield the individuals of Palestine or tackle a technique aimed toward liberating the land from occupation. The federal government of Bahrain was the primary to normalize relations with the occupation, and regardless of the struggling of the individuals of Gaza in mild of the persevering with Israeli aggression towards them, that authorities maintained diplomatic relations with Israel, and the Israeli ambassador continued to observe his work on the Khalifa court docket regardless of allegations of his return to Tel Aviv. It may be stated that Palestine was the most important sufferer of this summit, by which the individuals conspired towards the peoples of the nation, and sought to strengthen their relations with America clearly, and with Israel in disgrace. Was it anticipated that one thing totally different can be issued in a rustic whose authorities insists on strengthening relations with “Israel” and ignores the cries of the oppressed Palestinian individuals?
Second: The summit was held in a rustic whose individuals undergo from systematic persecution in mild of what has been practiced by the gang that has dominated it with hearth and iron for many years. It refuses to soften into the nationwide melting pot, and suffers from an inferiority complicated as a result of it doesn’t really feel a way of belonging to the homeland and the individuals. The summit was preceded by common demonstrations threatening to disclose the id of the ruling regime and demanding that others not attend a summit known as for by a ruler who broke with the Arab consensus and exchanged ambassadors with the Israeli occupation, and who nonetheless insists on remaining an occupier of Bahrain and ignoring the aspirations of its individuals and their needs to determine a free political system that represents its indigenous individuals (Shiites). And a yr). Somebody would possibly say that the circumstances of different Arab nations aren’t very totally different from what is going on in Bahrain. Democracy is absent from most individuals, and oppression prevails in them. Nonetheless, the circumstances of this nation and the struggling of its individuals are not comparable to what’s occurring in different nations. It has been waging a battle that has been occurring for 100 years, and that battle has not resulted in a complete political resolution that may result in the institution of a contemporary state by which the individuals train their function as a supply of legitimacy. Due to this fact, the individuals’s view of the summit was unfriendly, despite the fact that they have been eager on joint Arab motion. However his consciousness requires him to be sincere with himself and with different peoples, and never enable others to use his identify when he communicates with the world. This individuals believes within the necessity of joint motion and helps the unity of the nation, however it additionally helps the fitting of peoples to imagine the burdens of governance of their nations, and calls on them to resist tyranny and try to regain their full rights and to not compromise, a very powerful of which is freedom, independence of decision-making, and political partnership.
Third: The Arab Summit was held in Bahrain in a particular circumstance. This time there’s a silent revolution in its prisons. The political detainees determined to make their voices heard to the world and to beat the makes an attempt of the Caliphate regime to obscure the truth of their circumstances. A few of them spent greater than 13 years behind bars unjustly and aggressively. Today, they’re affected by depressing Khalifa makes an attempt to interrupt their will, typically by blackmailing them and bargaining for his or her freedom, and typically by ravenous them. By no means has a ruler or tyrant starved his prisoners of conscience, as did the dictator of Bahrain, who acquired the leaders of Arab nations along with his black coronary heart stuffed with hatred for humanity and his quest to eradicate prisoners of conscience by way of hunger. Weeks in the past, these political prisoners started complaining concerning the discount within the quantity of meals offered to them, in addition to the discount in meals objects offered within the jail canteens. Their households stood in solidarity with them and tried to ship some meals to them, however to no avail. The jail administration refuses to permit meals to be delivered to the prisoners inside unfair laws imposed by senior officers within the Al-Khalifa gang regime. Thus, the Bahraini prisoners starve, whereas meals banquets are held on a big scale through the summit, in order that there are two worlds: one complains of glut and the opposite is ravenous. What sort of summit is that this that’s being held whereas the voices of the hungry are being heard? The households of those prisoners raised their voices demanding that meals be offered to their youngsters who have been unjustly and aggressively detained. It held protests and solidarity stops within the hope of influencing authorities coverage, however to no avail. Historical past will report that the Arab rulers gathered sooner or later in an Arab nation with their fingers of their ears, coated themselves with their garments, insisted and have been smug, and ignored the cries of the hungry, the moans of the detained, and the moans of the bereaved and positioned in poverty. They may have executed one thing for humanity, however they failed it. They disavowed the individuals of Palestine and ignored the circumstances of the detained individuals of Bahrain, and contented themselves with consuming, ingesting, kissing noses, and exchanging greetings with out providing their oppressed peoples something important, whether or not by addressing the problem of public freedoms and the fitting to life and meals, or by addressing the central challenge in Palestine, or by declaring a political place that pressures the nations that assist Occupation.
That is the story of the Manama summit, which was held to the tune of the victims of occupation and tyranny, and historical past will report it because the ugliest within the historical past of Arab nations, the least humane, the farthest from reality, and the closest to the occupation. And people who wronged will know which approach they’ll flip, and the tip shall be for the righteous, and there shall be no aggression besides towards the wrongdoers
Oh God, have mercy on our righteous martyrs and make them honest with You, and launch the chains of our prisoners, O Lord of the Worlds
