Bahrain plans to build college in Somalia

4 January 2012: Bahrain is planning to build a $2 million (approx Rs.11 crore) teacher training college in the Somali capital Mogadishu as part of its project to help the country recover from decades of war, drought and famine. Work is progressing on the project alongside another Bahraini initiative to build a hospital in Mogadishu.

It had earlier been proposed to set up a nurses' training school for Somali nurses, but the country's Education Ministry requested we consider a teacher's college instead. The project is already on the drawing board and is expected to be finalised soon. Construction will begin soon and will be completed quickly because the facility is much needed in the country.
