Well due to the recent troubles in the area, is this race still going ahead?? Or are "they" hopeing things would have quitend down by then?

Still on as far as I know, but they'll need to make a decision soon, especially since there's also a test the week before the first race.
The GP2 race there this weekend is cancelled.

From a very reliable source within my old 'Firm'.

"The situation in the Middle East following on from Egypt and presently Bahrain is volatile.
The Department of Foreign Affairs are advising Australian citizens to leave or cancel any travel plans within the ENTIRE REGION due to expected ongoing conflicts."

In other words, stay away.
Personally, I believe the ME is looking much as it did in 1978 and 1979, not good at all.
