Bahrainis staged protests in the villages of al-Daih, located six kilometers (3.7 miles) West of the capital, Manama, as well as Karzakan, Sanad, Barbar, Muqaba and Karrana, on Friday in condemnation of the Saudi aggression against Yemen.
They chanted "Saudis, get out of Yemen!" and stressed that they will continue their support for the people of Yemen. The demonstrators also shouted slogans against the Bahraini ruling Al Khalifa family.
On Tuesday, Riyadh declared that it stopped bombing Yemen, adding that the Saudi-led coalition operations are now entering a political phase, but the latest reports from different Yemeni cities said that the airstrikes are still underway.
Saudi Arabia has been striking Yemen for the last 31 days in a move to restore power to fugitive President Mansour Hadi, a close ally of Riyadh. The Saudi-led aggression has claimed the lives of 2,915 Yemenis, including hundreds of women and children. The attacks have also left thousands of people injured.
Hadi stepped down in January and refused to reconsider the decision despite calls by Ansarullah revolutionaries of the Houthi movement.
Despite Riyadh's claims that it is bombing the positions of the Ansarullah fighters, Saudi warplanes are flattening residential areas and civilian infrastructures.
