(Ahlul Bayt News Agency) - The people of Bahrain have once again poured onto the streets across the country to demonstrate solidarity with those detained and injured during the Al Khalifa regime's crackdown on anti-government protests.
Chanting anti-regime slogans, the demonstrators on Wednesday called for an end to the Al Khalifa regime.
The protests came as Bahraini opposition groups reiterated their call for an elected government, describing it as the only solution to end months of anti-government protests in the country.
On Wednesday, in a declaration known as the "Manama Paper," five opposition groups, including the influential al-Wefaq party, described restructuring the political system while "preserving the monarchy'' as the only "path to freedom and democracy'' in Bahrain.
Bahrainis have been holding anti-government rallies since mid-February, demanding an end to the Saudi-backed Al Khalifa dynasty, which has ruled the country for over 40 years.
Scores of people have been killed and hundreds more have been arrested in a brutal crackdown on peaceful protesters in Bahrain, home to a huge American military installation for the US Navy's Fifth Fleet in the Persian Gulf.
