AMMAN —
Minister of Government Communications Faisal Al-Shboul called on truck drivers
to cooperate with the government, as there are goods that should not accumulate
in Aqaba, including livestock, medicines, foodstuffs, and wheat, according to a
local media outlet.

He stressed that
anyone has the right to stop working as long as it does not negatively affect
the work of others, adding “there are people who want to work and are seeking
to continue their work”.
“During the COVID-19 pandemic, supply
chains were not interrupted, and commodities did not disappear,” said the
minister, who stressed that “the accumulation of goods in Aqaba cannot
continue”.
He also said that “after securing the
roads in the past two days, shipping goods to and from Aqaba has improved”.
According to Shboul, “there have been
assaults on roads, freight, passenger buses, the tourism sector, and an unacceptable level of
hate speech”. He further said: “I do not know who stands to benefit from the
demolition of electricity poles or the burning of public or private property.”
At the same time, while acknowledging
that “such cases are few”, he said that “if political forces take advantage of
them, they shall be dealt with through the law”.
