Saudi Arabia Sends Troops into Bahrain to Stop Shi'ite Protests

By: Mary Rose | 2011-03-15 | News and society
Saudi Arabia’s troops were sent into Bahrain on Monday (March 14, 2011) to help keep calm weeks of protests caused by the Shi'ite Muslim majority. Opponents from the Sunni ruling family on the island called the move a declaration of war. The troop movement into Bahrain, home to the U.S. Navy's Fifth Fleet, was seen by analysts as one mark of concern in Saudi Arabia that concessions by the country's monarchy could cause the conservative Sunni-ruled kingdom's own Shi'ite minority. About 1,000 Saudi soldiers entered Bahrain to protect government installations, one day after Shi'ite protesters attacked police and blocked roads in the most violent confrontations. They are part of the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) force, which includes six-member bloc coordinating military and economic policy in the world's top oil-exporting region. read more
