BAHRAIN-VOTE-ELECTION-OPPOSITION

Bahraini riot police stand ready during an anti-government rally against the upcoming parliamentary election in the village of Zinj, south of Manama, November 20, 2014. Tiny Gulf monarchy Bahrain holds elections November 22, 2014 but with the opposition boycotting there seems little hope of an end to political deadlock in the key US ally. Bahrain remains divided nearly four years after security forces in the Sunni-ruled kingdom clamped down on protests led by majority Shiites taking their cue from the Arab Spring uprisings. The opposition is demanding a "real" constitutional monarchy with an elected prime minister who is independent from the ruling royal family.
