Isa in Bahrain BAHREIN bahrain. isa Informations and links Isa Map Isa Photos Isa ------------------------------- Madinat 'Isa (Isa Town) (Arabic: ????? ????) is a middle class suburb in Bahrain in the north central part of the country. The name Isa refers to Isa ibn Salman Al Khalifah, the ruler of Bahrain from 1961 to 1999. Isa Town is largely comprised of affluent newly constructed villas, and is home to many members of Bahrain's educated middle classes. Many of its residents are of Huwala ancestory and speak a dialect of Persian as their first language. It is one of the few areas of Bahrain not to be represented by an Islamist or right wing MP, with Abdnabi Salman of the formerly communist Democratic Bloc elected in 2002. Isa Town is famous for the traditional marketplace. Isa Town also houses most of the private schools in Bahrain, with the Indian School, Sacred Heart School, Ibn Khuldoon National School, Pakistan School, the Bahrain Bayan School, and the St. Christopher's School, all concentrated into a small zone which also includes the Isa Town campus of the University of Bahrain. The National Driving School and the Directorate of Road Traffic have their headquarters in Isa Town. Other offices include the Ministry of Education and the Ministry of Information, which includes the Bahrain Radio & TV broadcasting station, in Isa Town. Besides the market, the main landmark is the Bahrain National Stadium. Among those who live in the area is the Saudi singer, Rashed Al-Majed. It was one of the twelve municipalities of Bahrain after being split off of the municipality of al Mintaqah al Wusta in 1988, and is now part of the Central Governorate. (From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.) Bahrain's small size and central location among Persian Gulf countries require it to play a delicate balancing act in foreign affairs among its larger neighbors. Facing declining oil reserves, Bahrain has turned to petroleum processing and refining and has transformed itself into an international banking center. The new amir, installed in 1999, has pushed economic and political reforms and has worked to improve relations with the Shi'a community. In February 2001, Bahraini voters approved a referendum on the National Action Charter - the centerpiece of the amir's political liberalization program. In February 2002, Amir HAMAD bin Isa Al Khalifa proclaimed himself king. In October 2002, Bahrainis elected members of the lower house of Bahrain's reconstituted bicameral legislature, the National Assembly..
