Jordanians protest as petrol price rises again - The National

Jordanians have taken to the streets to vent anger at the government's second fuel price increase in three months.

The rise comes as Jordan seeks to fill a gap in its budget that widened after the government raised subsidies for basic goods last year.

Yesterday, taxi drivers blocked a main road in Amman as they abandoned their cars and marched to the ministry of transport in opposition to the hike.
