May 14, Saudi forces continued their take over of Bahrain by sending tanks to take the island city of Sitra.

For the past couple of weeks, Bahraini forces, backed up by Saudi troops have been flattening Shia Mosques.  The majority of the people of Bahrain are Shia Muslim.  The royal family is not.

Since February the people have been truly peacefully protesting their government.  Saudi forces invaded Bahrain in March, to help the non-Shia royal family put down the peaceful protesters.

Protesters say that since it is obvious the West isn’t going to help them, they are forced to start taking military action against the Saudis and the royal family.
