Parallel to the development we’re having in phase 3, the footpaths are finally being put in place in the established areas. It’s nice to see the increase in the level of activity around us. Within the next year or so, Mangaf will have a much more complete look.


I’ve been watching these people since the day they started. I’m disappointed not to see space being left for trees! It seems we will get these horrible concrete paths (which is an improvement – yes) but I wish some green finds its way to us! God knows we need it.
A gentleman named Bu Nawaf called Scope TV yesterday (I just saw the repeat) and warned about Mangaf. I fully agree with him when he talked about the many rental apartments in the middle of residential areas. The particular example he gave is in front of my house. I wouldn’t mind it so much if families move in – even with the traffic/parking problems. But what if it becomes a camp?!
He offered to take Scope around the area to show them the shops in Aziziya – which he compared to Khaitan and Jileeb. I think it will become better with the new co-op there. I hope!
I’m very pleased to hear someone caring about the area and warning about potential problems – seeking change.
Bu Nawaf – if there is anything I can do to help, please email me.
