Saudi military intervention in Bahrain (2011x8)

Udgivelsesdato: Mar 14, 2011

Saudi Arabia has sent more than a thousand soldiers to Bahrain. More troops are expected to arrive from the United Arab Emirates. This indicates that the military and police forces of Bahrain can no longer guarantee to contain the unrest. It also shows that the gulf Arab countries are not only concerned about domestic unrest but are also concerned for unrest in other gulf states. Because unrest can quickly spread throughout the Arabian Peninsula. So the Arab countries will cooperate and intervene in each other's countries to keep the region stable. As these troops pour into Bahrain it is likely that the king of Bahrain, will enforce martial law to contain the unrest.
