The regime may hold billions of oil dollars in it’s bank accounts, seal arm deals in millions to repress it’s own people, play with the judiciary system and control the media with a strong fist, yet, steady footsteps of few hundreds of peaceful freedom seekers raising their arms and chanting loud in the capital Manama, cause the regime a massive heart attack that paralyses its entire system!   The opposition political parties have announced that a pro-democracy march will be held in the capital of Bahrain, Manama, at 4:00 PM....
