Super siblings Rahaf and Omar Saleh have been awarded for their inspiring efforts to keep the streets around their Bahrain home spotlessly clean and tidy … and shame the litter louts into changing their ways. The schoolchildren, who live in Buhair, near Riffa, have become the face of a growing grassroots movement aimed at creating a cleaner kingdom and their awareness campaign has captured the attention of both local authorities and the wider community.

Bahrain Fort’s role as a cultural and economic hub in the region came under the spotlight at a special seminar organised to mark the 20th anniversary of the site being designated as a Unesco World Heritage Site. The event was held in Paris on the sidelines of the 47th session of the World Heritage Committee which continues until Wednesday. The seminar was part of the kingdom’s efforts to raise global awareness of the Bahrain Fort as an exceptional archaeological site, the heart of the ancient Dilmun Civilisation, and a living testament to the flourishing successive civilisations in Bahrain.

Efforts are underway to push for a significant policy shift that could see residents in Bahrain’s newly-urbanised areas receiving vital infrastructure services and public facilities without having to wait for years. At present, the Housing and Urban Planning Ministry mandates that at least 50 per cent of any residential development must be inhabited before services such as roads, lighting, public transport, schools, clinics, parks and sewage systems are set up. Municipal leaders believe this policy is outdated and leads to prolonged suffering, especially for families who are among the first to move into new areas, often having to endure years of isolation and lack of basic amenities.
