With accelerated pace and sense of ethical responsibility, team of Khalifa bin Zayed Al Nahyan Foundation kept helping their brothers and working hard in Haibaq road, which was the main road in the Socotra Archipelago. For days and without interruption, the team worked on refurbishment and qualification of Haibaq strategic road, which was considered as the main entrance of the capital Hadiboh. It was previously blocked due to slipping soil and it was reopened by the United Arab Emirates represented by Khalifa Foundation. The Foundation quickly responded to the calls of the people by moving five big machines to complete work and refurbish the road.
Socotra Online was on site to reflect opinions of the people of the Socotra Archipelago as follows:
Sheikh Yaslam Faris said that efforts of the United Arab Emirates in different fields were great, and in turn, we would like to thank the United Arab Emirates represented by Khalifa Foundation for the support in different conditions.
Driver Ahmed bin Ghanim expressed his happiness for reopening the road after being blocked during the previous period. He also praised the role of Khalifa Foundation in reopening the damaged road due to rains and floods.
Resident Ali Rashid Khalfan said that movement was impossible due to road blockage, but interventions by Khalifa Foundation positively affected people’s lives and in turn, we thank leaders of the United Arab Emirates.
