YES THAT BREAKS MY HEART. Like anyone else in Bahrain. I have read about him today and would like to know more about the situation as to why he couldn't get a proper job, regardless of his accumen in sports.

Do you know why? Does he have higher education or university education?

Well, I just dont understand why everyone is scorning me!!!

But we should all be happy that with the Mckinsey report, the BCHR video, many poor families have come forward and are talking about their plight. One lady, I think in yesterdays Alayam was talking about how she feeds her kids just rice and yoghurt for their fatoor during Ramadan. In addition, tens of articles have been written over the past few weeks about how unacceptable the situation is and how the government needs to act fast. An excellent letter which echoes my previous post was in Akhbar Alkhaleej [url]http://www.almenber.com/viewarticle.asp?id=1449[/url]

So for all the cynics out there. I wasnt overexaggerating. Credibility is given to a foreign body like McKinsey to come and say that 40% of Bahrainis are living under the poverty line. But the minute a Bahraini speaks out, his intentions are immediately questioned and rebuffed.
