The Capital (Municipal) Secretariat launched a sudden campaign against Jidhafs market vendors in August 2018, one day after the newly appointed municipal director Shawkiyya Hmaidan visited the market.

Bahrain�s Jidhafs popular market is an example of what is going on in Bahrain, where rash decisions are made and Bahrainis are eliminated from all equations.

Well-known vendor Mohammad Flamerzi reported officials, without naming them, saying that "the government is heading to soon give street vendors a vendor register."

The official municipal authorities will announce on Saturday, 11 August 2018, reaching a compromise with the vendors in Jidhafs market.
