“Amir” .. A Yemeni-Jordanian has been living in a cardboard house for 10 years.. Video

In a story reminiscent of the story of Duraid Lahham in his famous movie (The Borders), a Jordanian of Yemeni origin has been living in a cardboard house for ten years due to his legal status.

Finally, the Jordanian Roya TV met the person who has been talked about a lot over the past ten years, and he became the focus of attention for everyone who passes by or watches him, until he became known as the "Fifth Circle Man", in reference to the Fifth Circle area in which his cartoon house is erected.


The man, who is over the age of fifty, presented the story of his stay all these years in a wooden and cardboard hut, which does not leave him in summer and winter near the Fourth Circle area and next to a wall of one of the hotels established there. 

The man said that his name is "Amir Yamayn" of Yemeni origin and holds Jordanian citizenship, but he does not have any identification papers and does not hold a civil status card. 

He confirmed that the Zahran Security Center in Amman is aware of all the details of his case, which he said relates to his and his father's property in the Abdoun area (one of the most prestigious areas in the Jordanian capital).


He said that these properties, from large lands from north to south of Abdoun, are preserved in the court at the Palace of Justice, considering that his "case is over," as he described it. 

He said that what he owns in Abdoun, of land and property, is not in the Jordanian name, but in his Yemeni name. 

Speaking about how he manages his daily life, he said that he does not lack anything, noting that everyone in the region has known him for more than ten years. 

He pointed out that people who come from outside the area in which he resides are surprised by his presence, and some of them communicate with the security to report him, but the security is aware of his situation and details. 

He talked about that his residence on the land does not violate the law, and the security knows about it and is proven in the courts, stressing, "My residence is one hundred percent legal." 

The man said that he does not work and what he needs he buys from groceries and stores nearby, and there are people who know him and give him money to help him constantly.
