Bahrain Holds First Reconciliation Talks Since July 2011 
---------------------------------------------------------


 
Bahrain's government is holding reconciliation talks with opposition
parties for the first time in more than a year. The negotiations last
broke down in July 2011 after opposition groups accused the U.S.-backed
monarchy of obstruction and failing to address their grievances. Public
protests remain barred inside Bahrain in the monarchy's attempt to crush
a two-year uprising.
