Bachelors Accused of Created Ghettos

Although the letter submitted to Bahrain's Gulf Daily News below is not the most sensitively worded account of the lives of a community of Bahrain's migrant workers living in the capital Manama, it is becoming apparent that the insecure and unsanitary conditions these workers face are becoming too discomforting for Bahraini citizens who simply have to live around them. It is clear that the author of this piece is looking for greater regulations to be imposed on the alleged behavior of these bachelors, but there also appears to be an underlying cry for improvements to their overall living conditions. As mentioned in an earlier post, the Bahraini Government intends to relocate these bachelor communities to newly constructed "labor cities," far from public view.
