The reopening of the Nisib border crossing with Jordan on October 15, 2018, was an important event in the region after three years of looting by terrorist terrorists, closing it completely from both directions and severing an important vital artery feeding the two countries, the region and the world. Conspiring with the West and the Arabs, who imposed an unjust siege on Syria and the countries of the region until the liberation moments came thanks to the wings of the heroes of the Syrian Arab Army and defeat the invaders, terrorism and terrorists.

 

The importance of this crossing

 

       The significance of this crossing is that it is a strategic and important bridge at all levels. It is an important and pivotal point for many vital relations at various levels. It is the vital artery of the local, regional and international countries. The importance of this crossing is for centuries. The region is not easy to overcome, however, invaders and conspirators tried to impose new facts that are contrary to logic, history and geography, as these historical entanglements are the origin that is left to the peoples despite the nose of the conspirators, terrorists and the tails of the West.

 

The most important of these interconnections which gave this crossing its historical and practical value can be summarized as follows:

 

I. GEO-ECONOMIC CONNECTIONS:

 

     From this perspective, this port is considered an important crossing point for the flow of goods, goods and people on more than one level. Here we note two types of trade:

 

Interregional trade represents the inter-regional trade of neighboring countries with the Syrian Arab Republic, ie the local level

 

, This crossing represents a great benefit to the inter-Arab trade, as stipulated by the Council of Arab Economic Unity and this is achieved by the development of Syrian-Jordanian trade relations. Hence the great celebration of the reopening of the crossing by Jordanian and Syrian businessmen. Which passed through the re-opening of the crossing pumped more than 100 million Syrian pounds and Lance that Jordan is a historical extension of Syria in terms of geography, economy, social and human conditions and historical monuments,

 

= Transit trade - Transit trade -

 

   Here we distinguish two types of transient trade,

 

Trans-regional, ie ending in the territory

     The crossing is considered essential for the flow of goods from Jordan to Lebanon, from Jordan to Turkey, to Iraq, and in the other direction, the flow of goods from Syria to Jordan, Saudi Arabia and the Gulf states, and the revenues of these trade may be much higher than the revenues of bilateral trade. Origin and destination countries and from both directions or trends

 

The countries of destination go beyond the region to the countries of the world such as Europe, the Middle East and the Near East and the Far, and here is the benefit to countries of transit and destination countries that provide time and costs and fines for delay

Second: geopolitical entanglements

 

    It is known that the political outbursts between the countries positively affect the economic conditions and the good economic relations and smooth reflected positively on political relations and hence the importance of this crossing and play a vital role in world trade, economic relations may impose political blocs to protect their economic interests and hence the opening of the crossing from European countries have the right to ensure the flow of their goods through land, through the Naseeb crossing to the Gulf states, as well as Turkey, Lebanon and other countries. Despite the different political systems, the essence of political relations maintains the minimum standards of good neighborliness

 

Third: the social and geological entanglements

 

    The social connections created by the crossing point are very many, especially if we know that the Arab and Islamic migrations from the lands of the Hijaz to the Levant were through this region of them settled in Jordan and some of them continued north to Syria and therefore the one family and one tribe and one clans It is noted that the Nisib crossing is the central center point for the transfer north and south, and that the movement and communication between these tribes and clans represents a social link for sure, it also gives large revenues to the two countries of Syria and Jordan by A And helped to establish the various transport companies and contributed to the operation of manpower by providing the services inherent, as well as facilitating the political ties between the two countries and strengthening the social, cultural and educational ties between the two countries and hence the pursuit of terrorist groups to sever this vital artery.

 

Fourth: Geo-tourism interconnections:

 

   The tourist entanglement created by this crossing is of great importance, as history shows that most of the remains in Jordan are complementary to what exists in Syria, whether from the periods of Arab or Islamic rule or before. This is due, of course, to the unified geography that the West deliberately cut off The terrorists tried to complete their destruction to eliminate any links between the two countries and the rest of the world. The Ottomans, before them the Mamluks, before them the crusaders, before them, before them and before them ... they had the same effects and the same historical monuments and the same religious tourism. You are following its journey to Jordan and beyond it through this crossing. Hence, this crossing gains its importance and the consequent activation of agriculture, industry and trade, increasing the national product of both countries, in addition to attracting foreign exchange

 

The Nisib crossing is not only a meeting point between civilizations, nations and peoples but is an artery for all these concerned countries, especially neighboring countries such as Jordan and Syria. Jordan is an extension of Syria geographically, demographically, economically and economically.
