Bahrain crown prince must prove himself by actions - Wefaq


ABU DHABI (Reuters) - The leader of Bahrain's main opposition bloc said on Tuesday there was no guarantee that appointing a reformist crown prince to the cabinet would lead to change in the U.S.-allied Gulf Arab state where talks are under way to end two years of violence.

Sheikh Ali Salman, leader of the Shi'ite-led group al-Wefaq, told Reuters he welcomed Crown Prince Salman al-Khalifa's appointment but that Bahrainis would have to wait to see if the move heralded any real improvements for them.
