Abstract:
Regarding the Bahraini revolution, what is certain is that the reactionary countries of the region are partners with the Al Khalifa in suppressing struggles and silencing the leaders of Bahrain's Islamic movements, a partnership that constitutes a major obstacle to advancing the goals of Bahraini movements. The present article aims to examine the strategies of Bahrain's Islamic movements. In this regard, we examine the movements in Bahrain and analyze their strategies, especially in the period following the February 14, 2011 revolution. We also raise the question: despite the decisive popular support for the opposition movements and dissatisfaction with the Al Khalifa regime, why has the strategy of these movements thus far not led to the fall of the regime, or influenced the political process to implement the opposition's requested reforms, or reduced the systematic oppression and apartheid against the Shia majority? The article's hypothesis is the 'failure of the movements to adopt a unified strategy in consolidating popular struggles,' which is considered a fundamental challenge and has itself led to the weakening of the goals of the February 14 revolution; in other words, this strategic contradiction of the movements in facing the Al Khalifa has become the Achilles' heel of the Bahraini revolution. Using a descriptive-analytical method, the article examines effective strategies in the Bahraini revolution.
Machine summary:
(Norouzi , 1394, 60) The political presence of the people of Bahrain during approximately the last decade, which is derived from the strategy of the elites of Bahraini movements, especially "Al-Wefaq ", has been accompanied by ups and downs and changes in policies; from boycotting elections to adopting a diplomatic approach and participating in elections to establish a constitutional government, and to shouting the slogan "Down with the Regime" and pursuing the dissolution of the monarchy; in fact, each of the Bahraini movements adopts a strategy in its way of confronting the Al Khalifa regime.
(Farazmand, 2010, No. 250) Factors of Failure and Deterrence of the Bahraini Revolution To date, several factors in Bahrain have prevented popular movements from bearing fruit, each of which is related in some way to the geopolitical situation of the country of Bahrain, some of which can be mentioned as follows: a) Severe suppression of the people by the Al Khalifa military forces; b) The entry of Saudi Arabian military forces into Bahrain and the suppression of protesters; c) The lack of decisive support from Western countries and regional and global powers for Bahrain's popular movements; d) The lack of decisive actions and decisions by international organizations and assemblies, especially the United Nations, in support of the people of Bahrain; e) The specific differences between the movement of the people of Bahrain and other Arab popular movements, which has turned it into a unique case; f) Strategic conflicts among some of Bahrain's Islamic movements, which led to schisms and the separation of some leaders, and the formation of a new movement with a different strategy; such as what occurred regarding the Haq Movement and the Al-Wefaq Al-Islami Movement.
