Talks to end Bahrain crisis begin amid mistrust
Talks to end Bahrain crisis begin amid mistrust After nearly two years of nonstop unrest, opposing factions in Bahrain began talks on Sunday to ease an Arab Spring conflict that has run longer than Syria's rebellion and is playing out on the doorstep of the US military's main naval base in the Persian Gulf.
Bahrain expects talks with the opposition aimed at breaking nearly two years of political deadlock to start next week or early in February, a cabinet member said in comments published on Saturday.
