Our people have proven their desire for continuing with reforms. We complete the march today with those who have an honest patriotic desire for more progress and reform.

Bahrainis are better off than many other Arabs. We have a welfare state, everybody gets a salary whether they have a job or not. Electricity and food are subsidized school and healthcare are free. And we don't differentiate between Bahrainis and foreigners. We are very proud of that.

I cherished the dream of a country embracing all its people.

I care about Bahrain. Bahrain is very dear to me. I will not allow people to play around with our laws.

Any government that has a sincere desire for reform and progress should understand the benefit of objective and constructive criticism.

Our people have proven their desire for continuing with reforms. We complete the march today with those who have an honest patriotic desire for more progress and reform.

There is no ethnic cleansing in Bahrain, no mass genocide, no policy of killing innocent people.
