Jordanian authorities continue legal actions against Muslim Brotherhood-linked firms: state media
Jordanian authorities are continuing legal proceedings against a number of organizations and companies linked to the outlawed Muslim Brotherhood group, a source told the Jordan News Agency (Petra). The source said an information security company connected to the banned group failed to declare its beneficial owner, in violation of the law, and committed other offenses. This prompted the General Controller of Companies to refer the company to the Public Prosecutor's Office. In a separate action, the Department of Companies Control has requested that the State's Attorney-General forcibly liquidate Dar Al Sabeel for Press and Distribution company. This request was made because the company's losses have reached double its capital. It also failed to disclose its beneficial owner, pay its full capital, and submit annual financial statements. Additionally, an association in the Ain Al-Basha area decided to dissolve itself.

Public Works Completes First Phase of Ma'an–Al-Mudawwara Road Rehabilitation Two Months Ahead of Schedule
The Ministry of Public Works and Housing announced on Saturday the completion of the core works for the first phase of the Ma'an–Al-Mudawwara Road expansion and rehabilitation project—two months ahead of the planned schedule. اضافة اعلان The first phase, which began at the end of August last year, spans 31 kilometers from Al-Jafr Bridge in Ma'an to just before the Al-Sheidiyah junction. The project, which cost JD 8.5 million, was funded by the Jordan Phosphate Mines Company, which allocated around JD 15 million for both the first and second phases. The total cost of the two phases exceeds JD 17 million. This phase included comprehensive maintenance of the road, expanding its width by 3 meters to reach between 10 and 11 meters, and repaving it with two layers of asphalt in accordance with top international engineering and technical standards. The project also focused heavily on improving traffic safety by installing modern road signs, reflectors, pavement markings, side barriers, and improved warning and guidance signage. Minister of Public Works and Housing, Engineer Maher Abu Al-Samen, affirmed that this achievement aligns with the ministry's broader efforts to improve and develop the national road network, enhancing its quality to serve the economic, social, tourism, and agricultural sectors and contribute to comprehensive development. Abu Al-Samen highlighted the strategic importance of the road, noting that it links Jordan with Saudi Arabia and serves as a critical route for land transport and transit—particularly for pilgrims, expatriates, and visitors from the Gulf countries—making its development a continual priority for the ministry. The minister also announced that the completion of the second and third phases of the project is approaching, with the total length of rehabilitated road expected to reach about 100 kilometers. He revealed plans to continue rehabilitating the remaining segments as soon as funding becomes available. It's worth noting that the ministry is currently implementing three projects on this road. In addition to the now-completed first phase, the second phase spans 31 kilometers from the end of phase one toward the phosphate mines, passing through the Al-Sheidiyah junction, and includes works to rehabilitate and light the junction area. The third phase covers 25 kilometers from the Al-Mudawwara border crossing toward Ma'an City.
