This success is largely due to the cooperation among the ministry’s sectors.

For instance, we have a neighborhood where many expatriates reside, some of whom violate the residence law or are wanted, while others engage in unregulated markets.

Our campaigns are always comprehensive, focusing on negative phenomena in any region within the Al-Ahmadi Governorate.”
