  • Les Etats Unis continuent de miser sur le Prince Héritier pour la réforme au Bahrein, accréditant la thèse du « bad cop/ good cop » au sein de la famille Khalifa. C’est certainement aussi une façon de reprendre la main après que leur accès au pouvoir se soit, aux dires des observateurs politiques, réduit.

    US President Barack Obama has called for “meaningful reform” and respect for universal rights in Bahrain, during talks with Crown Prince Salman at the White House.

    Obama dropped by Deputy National Security Adviser Tony Blinken’s meeting with the prince on Wednesday and stressed the importance of the US partnership in Bahrain and Washington’s support for its stability and security.

    Salman, a reputed moderate, has just been made Bahrain’s first deputy prime minister following months of tensions and unrest between the strategic archipelago’s Sunni government and Shiite majority.

    “The president emphasised US support for Bahrain’s stability and security,” National Security Council spokeswoman Caitlin Hayden said in a statement.

    Obama also stressed that “meaningful reform, dialogue and respect for universal human rights is the best path to achieving the peace and security that all Bahraini citizens deserve,” she said.

  • Le Prince Héritier commence-t-il à révolutionner les usages du gouvernement ? Un mois après sa nomination en tant que premier vice-premier ministre, il semble que les pratiques du gouvernement prennent un coup de jeune

    Bahrain on Sunday launched the official weekly cabinet press conference in which the spokesperson for the government informed the media about the session.

    The tradition had been that a press statement would be issued, attributed to a senior official carried by the official Bahrain News Agency (BNA) after the session ended.

    However, Sameera Bin Rajab, the state minister for information affairs and the spokesperson for the government, on Sunday started a new format and held a conference at the Gudhaibiya Palace where the cabinet holds its regular meetings every Sunday and read out the statement.
