Please provide details of the protest(s) which took place in Bahrain on 14 February 2011, including the exact location of protest activities, the time the protest activities started, the sequence of events, the time the protest activities had ended on the day, the nature of the protest activities, the number of the participants, the profile of the participants and the reaction of the authorities. The vast majority of protesters involved in the 2011 uprising in Bahrain were Shia Muslims calling for political reforms.1 According to several sources, the protest movement was led by educated and politically unaffiliated youth.2 Like their counterparts in other Arab countries, they used modern technology, including social media networks to call for demonstrations and publicise their demands.3 The demands raised during the protests enjoyed, at least initially, a large degree of popular support that crossed religious, sectarian and ethnic lines.4 On 29 June 2011 Bahrain‟s King Hamad issued a decree establishing the Bahrain Independent Commission of Investigation (BICI) which was mandated to investigate the events occurring in Bahrain in February and March 2011.5 The BICI was headed by M. Cherif Bassiouni and four other internationally recognised human rights experts.6 1 Amnesty International 2011, Briefing paper – Bahrain: A human rights crisis, 21 April, p.2 http://www.amnesty.org/en/library/asset/MDE11/019/2011/en/40555429-a803-42da-a68d-

Ochsenwald Saifur Rahman ä i éandolph May, 1988 Blacksburg, Virginia Landscape Planning Objectives for Developing the Arid Middle East by Safei El-Deen Hamed Robert H. Giles, Jr. Co-Chairman Robert G. Dyck, Co-Chairman Environmental Design and Planning (ABSTRACT) The purpose of this dissertation is to develop an approach which may aid decision-makers in the arid regions of the Middle East in formulating a comprehensive and operational set of landscape planning objectives. This purpose is sought through a dual approach; the first deals with objectives as the comerstone of the landscape planning process, and the second focuses on objectives as a signiiicant element of regional development studies. The benefits of developing landscape planning objectives are discussed, and contextual, ethical, political, social, and procedural diliiculties are examined. The relationship between setting public objectives and the rational planning process is surveyed and an iterative model of that process is suggested. Four models of setting public objcctives are compared and comprehensive criteria for evaluating these and other ones are suggested. Three existing approaches to determining landscape planning objectives are described and analyzed. The first, i.e., the Problem-Focused Approach as suggested by Lynch is applied within the context of typical problems that challenge the common land uses in the arid Middle East.

Phillips Simon Aspinall Ismail Al-Madany Howard King Peter Hellyer Mark Beech Clare Gillespie Sarah Wood Henning Schwarze Mubarak Al Dosary Isa Al Farraj Ahmed Khalifa Benno Böer First Draft, January 2003 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS The development of comprehensive management plans is rarely the task of a single individual or even a small team of experts. Our knowledge and understanding of what the Hawar Islands represent comes after many years of painstaking effort by a number of scientists, local enthusiasts, and importantly, the leaders of the Kingdom of Bahrain. In this light we would like to thank the King of Bahrain, H.M. Shaikh Hamad Bin Isa Al Khalifa, for his vision and interest in ensuring the protection of the Hawar Islands. We would also like to extend our appreciation to Crown Prince and Commander of the Bahrain Defense Force H.H. Sheikh Salman Bin Hamad Al Khalifa for his support of legislative efforts and the implementation of research and management studies on the islands, and to Shaikh Abdulla Bin Hamad Al Khalifa for his support and encouragement, in particular with regard to his recognition of the importance of the islands at a global level. For assistance on the Hawar Islands during the field work, we would like to thank the officers and staff of the Bahrain Defense Force Abdul Gahfar Mohamad, Yousuf Al Jalahma, Jassim Al Ghatam and Eid Al Khabi for excellent logistical support, the management and staff of the Hawar Islands Resort, and the crews of the Coast Guard vessels for their invaluable knowledge of the islands and their provision of logistical support.

  • Conservation at Al-Areen Wildlife Park, Bahrain
    Conservation at Al-Areen Wildlife Park, Bahrain Jaime Samour, James Irwin-Davies, Mubarak Mohanna and Essa Faraj Bahrain was perhaps the first Arab country to realize the rapid decline of many native wild animal populations in the region and the urgent need to implement measures to ensure their survival. Part of Bahrain's response to this realization was the establishment of Al-Areen Wildlife Park. It was hoped that setting up a conservation centre dedicated to the preservation of wildlife would promote similar projects in other countries in the region. Now, more than 10 years since its creation, the authors review the original objectives of the project, its achievements and its aims for the future.
