[Petra] Prime Minister, Fayez al-Tarawneh, on Wednesday said that those who attacked police in Al-Za'atari Syrian refugee camp will be deported to where they came from, and vowed that the government will not tolerate any attempt to break the law.Why not let the cops use them for target practice? That's what they did to the cops...
Al-Tarawneh told a meeting at the Mafraq police department that Jordan is carrying out a humanitarian and ethical duty towards its Arab brothers but any attempt to stir riots will not be tolerated since law is applied to all including non-Jordanians.
He added that there will be a security control over the camp and other camps in the future where visits will not be allowed and entering and leaving the camps will only be through a security clearance.
During the meeting which included Director of the Public Security Department, Lt. Gen. Hussein Majali, Director of the Gendarmerie, and Gen. Tawfiq Tawalbeh and other brass hats, the prime minister said the government will look for new locations to set up new camps to accommodate for the rising number of refugees.
The bloody events which southern Syria has been seeing since Eid al-Fitr, have forced a large number of Syrians to flee to Jordan, putting massive burdens on the Kingdom's already-strained resources especially water, the premier added.
He called on the international community to help Jordan deal with this burden.
He announced that the minister of planning and the United Nations
...an organization which on balance has done more bad than good, with the good not done well and the bad done thoroughly...
High Commissioner for Refugees and the Jordan Hashemite Charity Organization will hold a presser on Saturday to speak on the rising number of refugees and send an appeal to the world and relief agencies to offer assistance.
The prime minister visited Al-Mafraq public hospital to check on a number of gendarmerie personnel who were attacked by a number of refugees who tried to get out from Al-Za'atari camp yesterday. At the King Hussein Medical Center, the prime minister also visited two gendarmes who has suffered skull fracture and body bruises in the attack.
I'm not too sure what the justification is for "refugees" lugging weaponry around with them. Maybe it's an Arab thing and I just can't understand...
