The group's boycott of the parliamentary elections made it look faintly irrelevant politically. The main force behind that boycott was Ali Salman (against the wishes of many senior al Wefaq members). Ali Salman (who was re-elected unopposed as Wefaq Sec-General and is one of the longest serving opposition leaders in the world) has become, you might say, part of the problem rather than part of the solution. Are many in Wefaq breathing a sigh of relief at his arrest? Surely al-Wefaq has regained credibility because of this and has been granted a blessing in disguise.William Morrishttp://ncfbahrain.blogspot.co.uk/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8391958287808959571.post-87616560105010261252014-11-25T20:01:48.050+03:002014-11-25T20:01:48.050+03:00Its always convenient to blame the US for all the ...Its always convenient to blame the US for all the world's problems.
