This yellow flag is a party flag, however this picture is only a part of its
flag, and even the picture is mirrored. The al-Wafa'a Islamic Party is a new
unregistered group wihout parliamentary seats in Bahrain.
The Shia opposition grouping Wafa'a (means "loyalty") is competing with an older
radical group for the leadership of the minority of Bahraini Shia who oppose
participation in parliament. It poses little threat for the foreseeable future
to Wifaq, the mainstream Shia opposition party. During the first months of 2009,
the temporary detention of Haq's leaders left a leadership vacuum among
Bahrain's Shia rejectionists. Abdulwahab Hussain, a once-prominent Shia activist
who had kept to himself for over eight years, re-emerged as the center of the "Wafa'a"
movement.

Party flag is yellow with its logo, and full Arabic and English name placed
under the logo. The logo itself is a calligraphic composion of letters of the
name: al-Wafa'a.

Is this really a flag? Looks more like a demonstration poster to me.
