Jordanian trucks and the border crisis
The article discusses the protests by Jordanian truck drivers at the border with Syria, caused by exceptions granted to certain materials from the "Back to Back" system, which restricts the entry of non-Syrian trucks into Syrian territory. These exceptions led to objections, tensions, and stone-throwing attacks on Jordanian trucks. The President of the Transport Companies Syndicate stated that the acts of violence were individual incidents and did not reflect the distinguished Jordanian-Syrian relations. He called for the perpetrators to be held accountable and for measures to ensure drivers' protection. He also mentioned an increase in cross-border transportation and overall safety, but urged for official procedures to prevent future attacks. The protests coincided with calls to abolish the "Special Link" system and to improve the organization of transport operations at the border crossing, in order to safeguard the interests of those working in the sector.
