Despite the repeated official speeches on the efforts of sustainable development and the vision of the new republic, and despite the repeated field visits to the governor of Aswan and the launch of infrastructure projects throughout the province, the daily reality experienced by the Aswani citizen exposes a blatant gap between what is announced on the platforms, and what people suffer on the ground.
At a time when some roads are paved and the entrances are adorned with reassuring words, they entered them safe It has become an open cemetery for victims of heavy transport accidents, amid constant disregard of the concerned authorities.
As for the Sadat Road, and despite the ongoing expansion and development work, what happens does not exceed being a formal restoration process in the absence of clear planning .. There is no alternative perception of traffic, and no plan to reduce pressure on the vital road, despite the availability of possible alternatives such as the waterfall road, the result is traffic jams, the disruption of the movement of citizens, and a chaos that gets widespread.
With the opening of the alternative axis of the Al -Khazan Bridge, it was greatly announced that the disadvantaged areas were linked, but the reality reveals that the Al -Salam neighborhood (formerly Zerzara), which is an area with a residential intensity, is still forgotten outside the scope of traffic linking and the entrance to the neighborhood was not completed, and the new bridge without night lighting at the entrances and exits of the village of West Suhail, and without a clear plan to reach the reservoir areas north and south.
In the village of West Suhail, one of the most prominent villages of the presidential initiative is a decent life, it seems that the dream has stopped in the middle of the road .. The sewage projects that the residents were removed, are still ink on paper, and the implementation rates, if found, are very slow to the extent of complete stopping.
The painful paradox is that all of this happens under the sign of development and in light of the budgets that are monitored and declared plans, but what is absent is the serious control, follow -up and planning that puts the citizen at the heart of attention, not on the sidelines of the projects.
Aswan does not need more statements, but rather needs to light its roads, save the lives of its residents, and respect the minds of its citizens.
