“Thousands of Shiite protesters in Bahrain Saturday demanded a transition government and the removal of Prime Minister Sheikh Khalifa bin Salman al-Khalifa, who has been premier since 1974, witnesses said.  They said the demonstrators marched in the village of Diya near the capital Manama, chanting ‘Resign, Khalifa!’ and waving Bahraini flags. Since February last year, Bahrain has been shaken by opposition protests that the authorities accuse of being exploited by Shiite Iran across the Gulf.  At least 80 people have died since the start of the unrest in February 2011, according to the International Federation of Human Rights.”
