Bahrain has lost an icon

I woke up early this morning just to be greeted by the dreadful news of the passing away of one of our leading national icons (Mr Ahmed Althawadi).

Mr. Althawadi spent his life serving the spectrum of our society in a long trip riddled with pain and sacrifice, where he spent 50 years in exile until the King’s generous decision to have him (among other national activists) return home.

This is a huge loss to our nation; we have lost a man who believed in a country for all, fair to all, he believed in a Better and fairer Bahrain; to the contrary of the current (so called) activists who believe in taking us back to the dark ages.

Rest in peace Sir, for you have suffered enough.
