Rationale: Why have you chosen this case for the landscape and democracy seminar?

  • Wehdat refugees camp is the biggest, most lively and active camp in Jordan with over 300,000 refugees in it. And many of these refugees have no work or education, so they have decided to work on stalls, by selling whatever they can. School notebooks, clothes or vegetables… you name it! This “stalls trading “is a habit spread all over the country and the case of Wehdat is taken into consideration just because it is getting too massive. Recently, a huge riot had happened there, because the authorities have taken action towards this irrational growth of work. It is considered illegal as they pay no taxes over their stalls and also they violate the street because they only need the side walk to show their products. It is a double edge sword; on one hand, they offer cheaper products and on the other, they harm the society with their noise, illegal work and lack of appreciation to others.
