Bahrain- Regime’s changing of demography

95k foreigners naturalized by Bahraini regime, adding 17.3% to population

A Bahraini Shia political figure has revealed alarming numbers of naturalization in Bahrain, reflected from official statistics provided by the State-run Central Information Organization. He said manipulation in official numbers revealed at least 95,372 foreigners have granted Bahraini nationality. This number makes 17.3% of change in the demography of Bahrain.

He further said that changing the demography to make the majority minority is considered in international rules somewhat close to genocide against the indigenous people. He added that the practice of naturalization with this pace poses a serious threat to the identity of the country in the coming two decades, where the majority will become minority by 2040.

The opposition parties launched a campaign on Twitter under the hash-tag “#ReplacingBHpeople” aiming to highlight information about the political naturalization carried out by the regime in Bahrain and to lay forth programs to deal with this disastrous problem.
