Bahrain Mirror: The Friday preacher at the Imam Al-Sadiq Mosque in Diraz, west of the Bahraini capital Manama, Sheikh Ali Al-Sadadi, called on Bahrainis to "abide, during the Ashura season, by the slogan [Hussein Unites Us], saying: "If we united, it is because of Imam Hussein (peace be upon him)." Sheikh Al-Sadadi expressed his surprised at the fact that the government did not address the unemployment issue. 

Sheikh Al-Sadadi stressed in his Friday sermon, on July 21, 2023, that "the unemployment file is no longer a matter in which the government disagrees with those who demand a solution, as it recognizes the origin of its existence and its statistics." Wondering, he asked: "What are you waiting for to push towards addressing this problem? Is the fact that the disturbing number of unemployed compared to the number of citizens no longer disturbing to the government, even though it is concerned with solving it?"

He further asked: "If the government wants to solve it (the unemployment issue) since it is the one in charge, then why does it not take the initiative to solve it and close the file without the need for appeals from citizens and MPs? Why isn't this file being dealt with similarly to some of the other files which the government has taken the initiative to resolve without waiting for the MPs to speak up?"

He also tackled "the policy of ethnic cleansing and displacement of land owners practiced by the Zionist occupation entity with various means and tools of corruption, including murder, imprisonment, abuse, demolition of houses, destruction of trees and crops, exile and displacement." Al-Sadadi stated "If the temporary entity is not a racist state and not an organized crime state, you, posers, who pretend to preserve and care for human rights, a state that practices all this in the most heinous and blatant way, then there is no state that could be considered racist."

"Go on, legitimize these means and bless terrorism and racism," he noted sarcastically, "Or is the filthy and unjust policy what rules the land?"
