Jordan’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Expatriates has urged Jordanian citizens in Belfast, Northern Ireland, to exercise maximum caution amid ongoing developments in the city.
The ministry called on Jordanians to avoid areas where demonstrations and gatherings are taking place and to comply with instructions issued by local authorities, in light of current events in Belfast.
Unrest follows stabbing incident and protests
The advisory comes as Belfast has seen several nights of unrest following a stabbing incident that left a man seriously injured. The attack has been linked in local reporting to tensions that have since fueled demonstrations in parts of the city.
Protests have included large gatherings and episodes of violence, with some areas reporting clashes and property damage, prompting a heightened police presence and calls from officials for calm.
Authorities step up response
Police in Northern Ireland have increased deployments in affected areas as they seek to prevent further escalation and restore order. Local leaders have urged residents to avoid spreading misinformation and to allow law enforcement to manage the situation.
Jordan provides emergency contacts
The ministry also reminded Jordanian citizens in Belfast to seek assistance if needed, providing 24-hour contact through the Jordanian Embassy in London at +44 7444 764716, and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs operations center at +962 795 497 777.
