Bahrain to resume national dialogue

Bahrain’s justice ministry announced Monday that national talks aimed to end the kingdom’s political stalemate will resume on February 10 after an earlier round failed to bring the opposition onboard. Justice Minister Khalid bin Ali al-Khalifa said that the dialogue will reconvene on Sunday, February 10, after he met representatives of the six opposition groups, as well as eight other associations that are on good terms with the government, BNA state news agency reported. The opposition groups included Al-Wefaq, the largest formation in the Shiite-majority Gulf state that is ruled by the Sunni Al-Khalifa dynasty.
