Following days of unrest and protest, several of the larger protest groups in Bahrain have recently met to come to a consensus on position and to present a united front. One of the main demands that all of the groups agree on is an independent investigation into the death of 10 protesters in the last week. They also ask that the disappearance of dozens of people thursday morning be explained. Bahrain's government has publicly stated that communication is open with opposition groups, but that there are a lot of unresolved issues to get to the bottom of. Bahrain is just one of many countries that are following the successful examples of Tunisia and Egypt.
