Bahrain Mirror: Hundreds of Bahrainis took to the streets on Wednesday (March 14, 2018) staging a number of popular marches across Bahrain, demanding the departure of the Peninsula Shield troops (UAE and Saudi forces) from Bahrain.
Participants in the demonstrations called for the immediate withdrawal of these troops from the island kingdom, dubbing them "occupation forces."
Opposition accounts on Twitter published pictures of the marches and protest activities held in "Sitra Island, Diraz, Daih, Musalla, Al-Akr, Barbar, South Sahla, Wadyan, Sanabis, Maameer, Saar, Buri, Abu Saiba' and Shakhoura."
These popular events coincide with the seventh anniversary of the entry of Saudi and Emirati troops to Bahrain under the cover of the Peninsula Shield Forces, which oversaw the crushing of pro-democracy protests at the Pearl Roundabout, carried out what became known as the "Sitra Massacre," and stormed the Salmaniya Medical Complex, main hospital in Bahrain, where dozens of injured people and members of the medical staff were arrested.
