A British press report alleging the Government and opposition in Bahrain are being trained on negotiation and conflict resolution techniques has today been dismissed as totally untrue.
The Guardian newspaper claimed Bahrain’s Government and opposition are receiving special counseling on implementing lessons drawn from other conflicts.
“His Majesty King Hamad bin Isa Al-Khalifa has repeatedly made it clear that what’s happening in Bahrain is an internal affair”, Minister of State for Information Affairs and Government official spokesperson Samira Ibrahim bin Rajab said on Thursday.
Quoting HM the King, she affirmed that the doors of dialogue remain open for parties to approve what satisfies them all, agree to renounce violence, stop terrorizing citizens and residents and achieve national security and stability.
