Al-Khalifa regime squandered the money and wealth of Bahrain people on luxury, recruitment of mercenaries and the purchase of military equipment and weapons to suppress it, leaving young people without jobs with a substantial deficit of the public budget. The next generations will not have future or wealth, as all the dollars were deposited into the accounts of Al-Khalifa family in the international banks.
During his meeting with James Islak, the CEO of Petroleum Development Company, and Mohammed bin Khalifa, the so-called Minister of Oil, Hamad called for an increase in oil production in an attempt to explore new wells to get money through selling oil, or to give it to Western companies in return for keeping him in power and helping him in quelling any uprising by the people.
