Bahrains Sorge vor dem großen Nachbarn

Sunniten und Schiiten wählen ein neues Parlament

Das Königreich Bahrain ist ein Kleinstaat vor der Küste Saudi-Arabiens. Das Land ist aus zwei Gründen bemerkenswert: Es ist von Öl- und Gas-Exporten unabhängiger als jedes andere Land in der Golf-Region. Und Bahrain ist das einzige Land am Arabischen Golf mit einer schiitischen Bevölkerungsmehrheit. Diese wird allerdings von einer sunnitischen Herrschaftsschicht dominiert und regiert. Im Oktober sollen Parlamentswahlen in Bahrain stattfinden. Der Wahlkampf steht im Zeichen von Verhaftungen zahlreicher schiitischer Oppositioneller und teilweise gewaltsamen Ausschreitungen.
