Southern Azhar farmers protest land seizure
The Committee representing farmers affected by the railway project and the Potash Company called for a sit-in in front of the Jordanian House of Representatives on Sunday morning to protest the expropriation of fertile agricultural lands in the southern Jordan Valley. This move comes ahead of the vote on the Real Estate Ownership Law, with the aim of defending lands that serve as the livelihood for hundreds of farmers and that contribute to strengthening the country's food and strategic security. The committee emphasized the importance of preserving agricultural lands, as their expropriation poses a threat to the future of farming and development in the region. They called for widespread participation from farmers and the media to protect farmers' rights, stressing that current decisions could lead to an irreversible loss of land.
