(Ahlul Bayt News Agency) - The national democratic opposition parties in Bahrain strongly reject and denounce the authority’s attempts to push Bahrain into sectarian conflict by authorising the forming of civil militias under deceptive descriptions, and precisely what has been called “municipality friends” which according to local newspapers, are formed to stop vandalism and which are officially sponsored by the government.This is a very dangerous step that illustrates the security doctrine facing the peaceful and rightful political demands of the people. This steps aims to push the citizens into security confrontations that will lead to terrible consequences. Some have already voiced calls to kill those caught by the militias for claims of vandalism. Thereof, the authority takes full responsibility for such a dangerous and rejected approach.The authority is attempting to distort the image of the peaceful nationwide uprising to make it look controlled by vandilising groups. While on the other hand, the opposition had repeatedly declared its adherence to peaceful political movement and rejection of violence and vandalism by any side.The authority’s attempts to escape the rightful demands of the people by forming what it called civil militias or through its ongoing repression or making the political conflict look like foreign threats are all rejected by the opposition.The opposition stresses that Bahrain needs an inclusive national solution and refuses all types of foreign interference.The opposition parties demand the authority to stop this dangerous step that contradicts with all laws and freedoms ensured by international laws and treaties. The authority is demanded to present a national political initiative with which it reponds to the people’s legitimate demands, and this is the only way to save the country the dangerous consequences of sectarianism and foreign interference.The national democratic opposition partiesAlWefaq National Islamic Society (AlWefaq)National Democratic Action Society (Waad)National Democratic Gathering Society (AlQawmi)Unitary National Democratic Assemblage (Wahdawy)Ekhaa National Society  (Ekhaa)Manama- 24 May 2013/129
