The President of the Republic, Kaïs Saïed, dedicated his meeting on Tuesday, December 2, 2025 with the Minister of National Defense, Khaled Shili, to monitoring a set of projects led by the General Directorate of Military Engineering.
Among these, the major cleaning project of the Medjerda wadi, undertaken on a 91 kilometer section crossing Béttan, El Jedida and Kalaat El Andalous. This project foresees a flow rate of 600 cubic meters per second, which is expected to reach 800 m³/s at a later stage.
The Head of State insisted on the immediate removal of all technical and administrative obstacles in order to complete the work as quickly as possible, emphasizing the strategic importance of this project for water management and flood prevention.
