Bahrain: Construction work begins on Saar sewage network
This is part of the Work Ministry's plan to continue developing infrastructure and enhancing the level of services in line with the Government Programme 2023-2026, said ministry sanitation planning and projects department director Fatima Ahmed.
She explained, in a statement yesterday, that the project will contribute to providing sewage services to 230 properties as the ministry seeks to increase the number of beneficiaries from this service and provide a healthy and safe environment for residents.
The project includes the placing of 3,162-metre-long main sewage lines, 3,754-metre-long sub-sewage lines, in addition to the construction of 135 main inspection rooms, 344 sub-inspection rooms and a lifting station.
Roads will also be paved within the scope of the project, added Ms Ahmed.
She pointed out that the sewage projects aim to achieve sustainable development and improve the sanitation sector, and provide the best services to all regions of the kingdom.
The ministry is working to keep pace with the urban and investment expansion that Bahrain is witnessing in various governorates, by connecting various properties such as houses and buildings and linking them to the sewage network, to ensure the provision of a healthy and safe environment, added Ms Ahmed.
The ministry has urged all residents and visitors to the area to co-operate and adhere to the guidelines during the implementation period of the project, in order to ensure the safety of everyone.

Ivory Coast - Opening of the Odienné military engineering camp: a major asset for the region, both in security and civil terms
Officially opened on May 23, 2025, the new Odienné camp is planned to house a specialized military engineering unit, responsible for important missions such as the creation of infrastructure, assistance with military missions, and contribution to civil-military activities. "This camp will actively participate in local development through the construction of bridges, roads, public buildings, and humanitarian actions," says surveyor Serges Arnaud Bilé. This structure underscores the State's desire to renew its commitment to protecting citizens, ensuring security, and encouraging balanced development in adjacent territories. Its opening is ultimately part of a national dynamic aimed at modernizing and strengthening the operational capabilities of the Armed Forces of Côte d'Ivoire (FACI). "Since Odienné is a border area, this camp strengthens the strategic presence of the armed forces in the North. It will improve the army's operational and logistical capabilities, address security challenges, and ensure the country's stability," says teacher Bertrand Singo Tia. Much more than just a military installation, the Odienné Engineering Camp fosters collaboration between the armed forces and local populations in a spirit of unity. It also constitutes an essential lever for the economic and social development of the Denguélé region. "This camp will offer new training and employment opportunities for residents and will facilitate the construction of civilian infrastructure thanks to the skills of the Engineering units," said Cissé Aboubakar, an Odiénné official. The inauguration of this military center enabled the acquisition and delivery of more than 150 heavy machines and specialized vehicles.
