Bahrain: Tweeps Dreaming of a Better Bahrain · Global Voices
This post is part of our special coverage of Bahrain Protests 2011.
On Saturday morning, a new hashtag appeared on the Bahrain Twittersphere and many tweeps expressed their hopes, dreams and highlighted their demands through #IdreamofaBH. As for the origin of the hashtag @Bahrainman explains it as:
@BahrainMan it started with <PERSON> going on a solo rant. Then @UmFahad had the smarts to actually do something & created #idreamofabh
.. 235
and @ehsankooheji adds:
@ehsankooheji (#IdreamofaBH) hashtag today by @Umfahad based on responses by @RashidAlghatam to one sided statements by <PERSON> yesterday
The hashtag has become incredibly popular and lively with an incredible array of ideas from the political (anti-government and pro government alike), the funny, the sad to the down right geeky:
@Umfahad #idreamofaBH where people ask not what their country can do for them but what they can do for their country. #JFK #Bahrain
