An exodus of office workers from Bahrain was under way yesterday as international banks evacuated staff to Dubai and further afield.
Dozens of workers at international companies left as blockades on the kingdom's financial centre forced the stock market to shut down.
Most financial firms with offices in Bahrain, including Citigroup, HSBC, BNP Paribas and Standard Chartered, have temporarily closed or scaled back operations in recent days. Employees not leaving the country are being told to stay at home.
