It is the 14th of August, this occasion marking Bahrain's independence does not pass, unless it brings with it the morally and politically deviant statement that the King of Bahrain launched from inside the British home in 2013, when he cited his father's dissatisfaction with Britain's decision to withdraw from Bahrain in 1971.

On the anniversary of Bahrain's independence, August 14, the Al-Wefaq National Islamic Society issued a statement, in which it stressed that Bahrain is experiencing the worst stage in its history due to the absence of state institutions and law, the collapse of coexistence between the government and a large segment of the society, the absence of national consensus and the breakdown of the social contract.

Al-Wefaq Society said that between August 14, 1971 and August 14, 2017 Bahrain has witnessed several decades of persecution, monopoly of political decision-making and looting of the country’s riches.

Hundreds of Bahrainis took to the streets across Bahrain on Monday (August 14, 2017) to commemorate the country’s independence from the British, renewing their demand to put an end to the Al Khalifa family's monopoly of power.

Societies of the national democratic movement in Bahrain called for consensus between the state and political parties on the political and livelihood issues, as well as sparing the country from foreign interventions.
