WTF? The rest of the world is trying to figure out what “meaningful strategy” Ambassador Nonoo is talking about?
Bahrain’s US Ambassador Welcomes BICI Findings
POMED – 06 December, 2011
“Bahrain‘s government is committed to reform, and to implementing progressive policies that will help achieve reconciliation for all Bahrainis. We are committed to that path because the future of Bahrain and its people relies on a meaningful unification strategy.”
Houda Nonoo, Bahrain’s Ambassador to the United States, welcomed the findings of the Bahrain Independent Commission of Inquiry (BICI) released at the end of November. In a statement Nonoo said, “Bahrain‘s government is committed to reform, and to implementing progressive policies that will help achieve reconciliation for all Bahrainis. We are committed to that path because the future of Bahrain and its people relies on a meaningful unification strategy.” She added, “The truth of the events that transpired in our country was not easy to hear. But these truths are now Bahrain’s reality, and the government has accepted these truths as the foundation from which our reform process will move ahead.”
Additionally, Nonoo mentioned that a commission established by Bahrain’s king will consist of twenty members representing “a broad cross-section of Bahraini society and will conclude its work by the end of February 2012.”
Meanwhile, according to a press release by Bahrain’s Ministry of Information, John Timoney, a former police chief of Miami, Florida, has been chosen to lead training programs for the Gulf kingdom’s forces, which the Associated Press called “part of reforms after an independent report detailed abuses against pro-reform protesters.” …source
