The second scenario of vulture dancing is the continuation of the status quo, based on people's fatigue from continuing protests. Compromise and the formation of a national unity government is the third scenario. The scenario indexes conciliation between the parties involved, and gives the post to the liberal and pro-regime Shiites. The last scenario is the Phoenix flight scenario, namely the formation of a Shiite government and the defeat of the Al Khalifa regime on based of unified leadership, continued resistance front political support and Bahraini resistance occurs.
