My story with the
UK in Bahrain Embassy’s official Facebook page began when I liked it as I
usually do with many pages related to Bahrain. In the beginning I had no
intentions of participating by posting topics or having a political debate
about Bahrain's crisis as I thought its supposed to be an official page for
British residents in Bahrain for their inquiries.
I used to check
the page regularly, after a while I realized that the page is not only for the
British residents’ inquiries – it was also used for Alwefaq's propaganda and
posts about Bahrain that were only supporting the racist, sectarian, fake
revolution!
I decided to take
the initiative and post about the real Bahrain’s revolution and peaceful rally
at Alfateh’s Mosque square and streets of Bahrain on the 21st
February, 2011 under the name of The Gathering of National Unity which
encompassed all the Bahraini’s.
My aim was to
create a balance and show the truth of the opposition’s hidden propaganda, the
violations that the unpeaceful
protesters committed (or as UK named them rioters) and riots and havoc created
on the streets of Bahrain - turning the land of peace to a land of fear for a
whole month that ended with violence.
After a short
period I realized that my posts were making a difference and had bothered
Alwefaq’s supporters and the administrators of the British Embassy’s site in
Bahrain!
At the beginning I thought the Administrators were doing
their job, but with time, I realized that he’s hiding my posts and comments on
purpose and not only me, my supporters as well.
What I did and still doing is showing the truth of
Alwefaq and Feb14 movements by evidence I obtained through YouTube videos and
articles from different newspapers locally and internationally.
Alwefaq refused
all initiatives by the regime, ignored and still ignoring more than 300,000
Bahrainis that have rallied in Alfateh’s mosque square and streets of Bahrain
on February 21st and March 3rd against fake revolution
rioters - giving the legitimacy to the Al-Khalifa rulers and asking for His
Royal Highness Prince Khalifa bin Salman (the Prime Minister) to remain in
power.
Second, After
seeing these numbers of people at the rally, I and thousands of Bahrainis
realized that Shiites are not majority in Bahrain as we were told through the
media and believed that since our childhood. The rally has shown Shiites and
sunnis percentage are approximately equal - the International media however,
still insists in each article that Bahrain is Shiites majority facing ruling
sunni minority. The media have also failed to mention the Iranian interventions
in Bahrain not only logistically but also religiously by Wilayat Alfaqeeh (the
Iranian supreme Leader) political thought as Ali Salman the head of Alwefaq
said in a press conference he’s a servant to the religious reference. However,
recently some newspapers started to address the Iranian threats to Bahrain
especially after its support to the Syrian regime that kills daily massacres
peaceful civilians asking for freedom and democracy.
The beginning of
the change began by The Telegraph with Bahrain and the Arab Spring: time for
some realismwritten then This is London A London newspaper wrote about
SaeedShehabi head of London based Bahrain Freedom Movement and files relating
him to Iran(1). The article quoted “Patrick Mercer, a Conservative MP and security
expert, said: "This man's connections with Iran are extremely concerning
and embarrassing to those who have praised him as a credible voice on
Bahrain". Is that because the conspiracy failed or they discovered
suddenly the Iranian interests in Bahrain?
Third, I have
tried to respond to allegations by showing the crimes of doctors who have
betrayed their oath in Salmaniya Medical Complex -helping protesters occupy the
Emergency car parks and the medical facilities. Showing the crimes of feb14
youth who killed brutally the policemen “Martyrs of duty”, attacked unarmed
policemen and made an unpeaceful rally to Riffa (A city known of its loyalty to
Alkhalifa and sunni 100%).
Bahrainis
suffered from the occupation of Salmaniya Medical Complex by protesters during a whole month being treated on
sectarian basis. Fatima Al Abbasi 17 years old as an example died because the
ambulance did not come for her rescue. She had severe complications from
diabetes and needed immediate medical attention. Her life was lost because no
ambulance was sent her.
Some of my posts were posted in an
effort by the adminstrators to show that they are not
blocking my posts, I have raised this issue to them a number of times.The
administrator blamed Facebook
After a while I
knew that my posts not only hidden but only me, my friends and the admin can see
and read them.
Then, I decided to
confront the administrator by using another account as I choose with a similar
name to my old one. I discovered that only my friends from UK page can see my
posts which means I was posting for me and my friends.
As a result the
administrators of the page was fired or resigned. I don’t know exactly.
However, the new administrators are not that good because they follow the same
strategy with me and I’m being blocked totally from the wall of the page and I
can only post topics on the discussion board. I wrote a topic on the Discussion
Board, I considered it aggressive titled “UK in Bahrain
Admin you better resign if I'm annoying you !!!” “I’m totally hidden on the wall by the admin” and “Hidden post by
admin: Rioters in Sitra”.

The Foreign
media’s attacks on Bahrain did not report crimes by rioters against civilians
and unarmed policemen, nor did they mention how merciful was the government
with the protesters, who were ruining Bahrain’s unity and economy
The thousands of
Bahrainis are against the racist, sectarian, fake movement lead by Alwefaq and
the seven opposition political societies to prepare for the state of Mahdi as
Shiite cleric said in one of his speeches(2) with cooperation with HasanMushaima
who came to Bahrain after being pardon by His Majesty King Hamad to all
prisoners/opposition who are attempting to convert Bahrain to Republic -
Iranian style and overthrough the AlKhalifa’s ruling family even before Feb14
movement
I doubt that
officials inside the embassy don’t know what their administrators were doing
and still doing.The role of the British embassy and other embassies as
well was really devastating for
Bahrainis as they supposed to know how Bahrain is democratic, modern, liberal,
protecting human rights, treating citizens according to law, providing
training, scholarships for youth to improve their skills through Tamkeen
program and other programs provided by Ministry of Labour for free and giving
them money during the training period. British Embassy officials supposed to
know how unique the political reforms done since 2000 not only in Bahrain and
the GCC but in the Middle East and Arab World.
The ex-British ambassador Sir Jamie Bowden is blamed for
not showing the truth and supporting Bahrain against riots as he supposed to
know the real situation of Bahrain and the Iranian interests in GCC countries.
I hope from recent new ambassador Sir Iain Lindsay who said “My family and
I are delighted to be here” “The United Kingdom and Bahrain are long-standing
and close friends” to at least stand at same distance between parts of
conflicts in Bahrain without ignoring the foreign threats to the sovereignty of
Bahrain.
Finally, My gift was a poem by member of the page:
Am I bored? Perhaps.There was once a chap called Khalid
Who felt his comments were valid
But when Facebook decided otherwise
Khalid said it was "foul play guys"
So we all continued to play along
And let Khalid loudly sing his song
But dear Khalid wouldn't stop
He kept blowing his top
Robert pleaded for a human right
And Peter cried "enough mait"
So dear Khalid I say this as, erm, a friend
Just discuss the weather; you'll soon be on the mend
Capisci? (To be spoken like Tony Soprano ...)
