The second one passes near Agri-Mechanic, dividing Assossa and Hai-Shuada areas, while the last watercourse runs into the Nile at Egyptian Irrigation Scheme (Rei al-Mazri), dividing residential areas of Malakia and Sora Jalaba.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He further explained, \u201cThese watercourses will effectively channel water from residential areas into the River Nile. This project is an initiative led by us with support from local organizations. With these measures, Malakal is now habitable and prepared to host President Kiir during his election campaign.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Deputy Mayor Nyang also highlighted ongoing plans to open the remaining two watercourses in accordance with the town\u2019s masterplan, ultimately aiming to make Malakal free from floods.<\/p>\n<p>One resident of the town, Kuol Deng, expressed appreciation for the initiative, stating, \u201cWe are pleased. This is the kind of development we, as citizens, desire.
