And what of Bahrain?

Following the recent spate of civil unrest and demands for reform in tunis and egypt, things have moved further to bahrain.
I do hope my old adopted home does not suffer the same collapse of government as the other two states have recently had. Reform, yes. Though it is my personal opinion that the shia majority need to be kept on a tight reign at times, as they tend to be a good deal more fundamentalist in their attitude than most suni bahrainis.
That said, part of the trouble is the apparent disparity between suni/shia wealth and power.
Maybe the future is with some of bahrains young generation - internet savvy and with a more progressive view of the future of the country, less dominated by unrest and religious fundamentalism.
To quote the article:

Many in the crowd waved Bahraini flags and chanted: "No Sunnis, no Shia. We are all Bahrainis".

Perhaps my current thought is coloured by a long past view of the country from an ex-pat bubble, but it was a nice place to live for the most part.
Of all the gulf states, except perhaps for kuwait or dubai, bahrain was one of the most welcoming for westerners, for tourism, business and emigration.
For such a small country I hope things remain as stable as they can be for reform to continue and evolve into something better for bahrainis.
