UPDATE 2/15: King Abdullah allows unrestricted free speech! In a move to sideline growing protests in Jordan, King Abdullah has removed all restrictions on public protest. UPDATE 2/1: King Abdullah of Jordan Dismisses his Government! http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2011/02/01/new-jordan-government-king-abdullah-ii_n_816755.html Protest in Jordan continued today with a sit-in in Amman, the capital. Islamists, leftists and trade unionists united for protests on Friday to demand political change and wider freedoms. More than 3,000 protesters chanted: "We want change." Jordanians are protesting high food prices and calling for free elections, the dismissal of Prime Minister Samir Rifai's government and a representative government. http://www.reuters.com/article/2011/01/28/us-jordan-protests-idUSTRE70R4L120110128
i wouldn't call them allies, unless you mean JORDAN inc.. the king is a free-mason, some illuminist footsoldier for rothschild interests. Saud family from a mischpucka trader, lebanon and syria used to be the same country until one broke off from the other - divide and conquer. middle-eastern 'leaders' are nothing more then stand-ins for israeli/rothschild/central banker (mischpucka) interests. Nevertheless, these protests, are not setup by the people. The dictator of tunesia was getting too big for his britches, and mossadeq at 84, too old. They have patsies in the wings waiting to fill the shoes. They merely increase the pressures until something cracks, and it inevitably does. Generally, people are cattle being herded about, doing what they are told from the public system, no different then zombies. Fortunately there is a bit more word of mouth about the criminal activities of the zionist entity supporters on the middle-east. Still, mossad is all over that region, with heavy backing from european and american sources. Now you want to know where the central-banker profits go to?
Jordan can probably keep its unrest under control if the government comes through on promises. The monarchy has legitimate popular support in Jordan.
