Tasnim from Baghdad The details of the demonstrations by the people of Maysan, Iraq, against the blocking of the Hezba crossing Following the blocking of the Hezba border crossing by the Baghdad government, owners of many heavy vehicles, mainly trailers, operating at the Hezba crossing, renewed their protests this morning and blocked the Guzila road that connects the Mashra area to the oil companies in the Bazarkan oil fields. This action by the owners of heavy vehicles was done in order to put pressure on the relevant Iraqi authorities to reopen this crossing. The protesters also expressed dissatisfaction with the non-appearance of several politicians and members of parliament who were supposed to participate in the demonstration today. The demonstrators expressed that the continuation of this process will cause the cessation of the activities of truck drivers and transport operators, will cause the loss of sources of income for families who depend on traffic at this crossing, and will lead to an increase in the prices of some food products.
