document.write('Print Now!'); this page was printed from Factmonster.com www.factmonster.com/ce6/world/A0856818.html Encyclopedia Bahrain Government Bahrain is governed by a monarchy. A council of state and a prime minister, constituting the executive, was appointed by the sheikh in 1970, and in 1973 a constitution was adopted and an elected national assembly established. However, in 1975 the sheikh suspended the constitution and dissolved the national assembly; elections have not been held since then. In 1992, an appointed 30-member consultative council (Shura) was established by royal decree to replace the national assembly. Bahrain is divided into 12 municipalities, all administered from Manamah. Sections in this article: Introduction Land and People Economy Government History Bibliography Economy Bahrain History

Home About Press Release Ethio-Eritrea Conflict ... Articles (opinions) December 13, 2000 (4:54 am local time) A Call for Urgent Intervention Yeshiwork Desta Zewdu, is a young girl only 20 year old coming from very poor family, in Ethiopia. Yeshiwork, who had to toil day and night to pursue her education could not go, as far as she would have loved to. Yeshiwork, who had no other ambition in life except to work and to try to live a decent life as a human being, a desire that was so strong that she had to abandon her family and travel to far away places like Bahrain, in an attempt to make her dreams come true. Like thousands of other women recruited from abroad to work as home maker in the Middle Eastern countries and elsewhere, Yesiwork Desta Zewdu looked forward to her job as a maid in Bahrain, expecting to be treated as a worker. Instead, she was a victim of brutal treatment, which she could not accept as a human being and resulted in her psychological trauma. She was physically tortured and psychologically tormented. Yeshiwork, whose only crime is poverty, is recognized by her friends at home as a decent, friendly and harmless girl. Yeshiwork now stands accused of murder of her Filipino employer in Bahrain an act she committed out of desperation and in an abnormal state of mind with the execution of the death sentence passed by the Bahrain court, only weeks away.

Home Page Enquiries, orders and prices ARCHIVE EDITIONS THE BAHRAIN GOVERNMENT ANNUAL REPORTS 1924-1970 Collated for the first time as a series: from the first report in 1924, up to Independence; including the complete run of reports submitted by Sir Charles Belgrave. "Such a detailed picture of a State, its politics, economy and social life over nearly half a century makes the Reports into a document of the greatest historical importance." Dr Robin Bidwell, Middle East Centre, University of Cambridge Historical background Documentary importance Contents of the reports Presentation of the reports ... Bibliographic summary Historical background In the early 1920s the British in Bahrain were concerned to secure the political stability of the island. In 1923 Shaikh Isa, nearly 80 years old, was induced to hand over power to his son Shaikh Hamad. After a succession of Political Agents it became apparent that a permanent administrator should be found who would ensure some political continuity. Shaikh Hamad agreed to appoint a Personal Adviser employed by himself and not by the British Government, who would help him to modernise the state. There were no readily available candidates and the post was advertised in The Times in August 1925. It is not known how many applicants there were, but after interviews Charles Dalrymple Belgrave was appointed with an annual salary of £720 - enough for him to get married on. During the war he had served with the Frontiers Districts Administration Camel Corps and had spent two years in the oasis of Siwa. At the time of his appointment he was on leave after two years in the Colonial Service in Tanganyika. He brushed up his Arabic at the School of Oriental and African Studies in London and arrived in Bahrain in March 1926, to remain there until 1957. One of his tasks was to write an Annual Report on each year's progress.

Welcome to the Country Pages Bahrain Embassies Maps General Universities ... CIES Contacts The State of Bahrain is an archipelago of 33 islands in the Arabian Gulf situated between the east coast of Saudi Arabia and the Qatar peninsula. Bahrain, meaning "two seas" in Arabic, is the largest island of the archipelago. In addition to its sandy beaches, coral reefs, and renowned diving, Bahrain contains numerous archaeological sites, historical museums, mosques, and traditional markets. The majority of the population lives on the northern third of Bahrain island, which contains the modern capital city of Manama, and the nearby island of Al Muharraq. Most of the remaining islands are tiny and uninhabited, but are well-known for the variety of migrating birds that pass through in the spring and autumn months. Bahrain has a reputation as one of the most liberal Persian Gulf states. The country has a large expatriate population, giving the urban centers a highly cosmopolitan atmosphere. Islam is practiced by approximately 85 percent of the population, although other religions, primarily Hinduism, Judaism, Buddhism, and Christianity, enjoy freedom of worship as well. Arabic is the official language and English is compulsory in schools and widely used for business purposes.

Sheikh Hamad wants to modernize Bahrain About 20 people gathered outside the offices of the Bahrain Telecommunications Company - the country's sole provider of internet services - demanding an end to blocks placed on several websites deemed objectionable by the authorities. The protestors - some of them having taped their mouths shut - said the restrictions violated freedom of expression in Bahrain, whose ruler, Sheikh Hamad bin Isa al-Khalifa, has recently launched a process of democratic reform. They also demanded the resignation of the Information Minister, Nabeel Yacoub al-Hamer. "The information minister is responsible and we want him to resign for his inability to cope with the democratic era in Bahrain," Ali Abdelimam, who runs one of the banned websites, told the Associated Press news agency.

U.S. Department of State Bureau of Consular Affairs Washington, DC 20520 Consular Information Sheet This information is current as of today, Bahrain September 16, 2002 COUNTRY DESCRIPTION: Bahrain is a hereditary kingdom, governed by the Al-Khalifa family in consultation with a council of ministers. Islamic ideals and beliefs provide the conservative foundation of the country's customs, laws and practices. In Bahrain, which is a modern developed country, tourist facilities are widely available. The capital is Manama. ENTRY/EXIT REQUIREMENTS: the Embassy's Internet home page at http://www.bahrainembassy.org. In an effort to prevent international child abduction, many governments have initiated procedures at entry/exit points. These often include requiring documentary evidence of the relationship and permission for the child's travel from the parent(s) or legal guardian if not present. Having such documentation on hand, even if not required, may facilitate entry/departure. DUAL NATIONALITY: The Bahrain government does not recognize dual nationality. Bahrain authorities have confiscated the U.S. passports of dual (Bahrain/U.S.) nationals when they applied for a Bahrain passport.

Country Info Bahrain Introduction Bahrain General Data Bahrain Maps Bahrain Culture ... Bahrain Time and Date Bahrain Government Back to Top 1783 the al-Khalifa family have ruled Bahrain as a hereditary emirate. Bahrain gained full independence in 1971 and adopted a constitution in 1973. The constitution states that the succession of the office of emir automatically passes from ruler to son, making Bahrain unique among the monarchies of the Persian Gulf in this regard. The emir appoints a prime minister and a cabinet, the Council of Ministers, who serve indefinite terms. In 1995, in response to Shia unrest, the cabinet was reconstituted for the first time in 20 years. The constitution also provided for a unicameral legislature, the National Assembly, which was elected in December 1973 by male citizens 20 years of age or older. However, the emir dissolved the legislature in August 1975, citing its inability to cooperate with the government. In 1993 the emir created the Consultative Council, which advises the government but holds no legislative power.
