In a show of true strength, three separate Shia groups within Bahrain have banded together to call for an end to the current Monarchy to be replaced with a democratic republic. The groups aim to dismantle the current regime and institute a government which is conscious of, and listens to the desires of the people. The protests to install this form of government have lasted about 23 days now, and due to this newly formed coalition there are no signs of slowing. Haq leader Hassan Mashaima told a news agency that 'we are different in the demands, but it doesn't mean we can't cooperate'. It is this unselfish desire to create meaningful change within the nation that will, in my opinion, ultimately lead to the successful transfer from an oppressive monarchy to a thriving republic.
