After nearly five months of unrest, the residents of Bahrain will on Saturday have a chance to sit down and discuss the future of the kingdom in a government-sponsored national dialogue. The last hurdle to the national dialogue was removed on Friday as Bahrain\'s largest opposition group, Al Wefaq, said it will take part in talks. The announcement was made by Ali Salman, the society secretary general, at a rally held in Duraz, the third to be organised by the society since the lifting of emergency laws on June 1.
