Jordan: Maintaining Stability amid the Fires
2021-04-06
[ENGLISH.AAWSAT] The situation in Jordan wasn’t turbulent, neither in its relations with its neighbors, nor in its relations with its citizens. Jordan allows expressions of differences and opinions, whether through parliament or in the streets. It has overcome several tests in the past.

Absent was the severity of practices adopted by neighboring countries, even if the Jordanian security forces have maintained their power due to their efficiency in collecting information and sensing dangers. Jordan is an image of stability for countries in the region and the world. The ardor of its public has not reached the level of threatening the public system or destabilizing institutions.

Perhaps it is this stable image that led the world to quickly rally around Jordan when its suddenly announced on Saturday night the arrest of prominent figures "for security reasons." Arab and international reactions underscored support for Jordan’s stability and the role of its king in consolidating it. The attention was doubled when official statements on Sunday pointed blame and doubts at former Crown Prince Hamza bin al-Hussein and talked about an attempt to undermine Jordan’s stability. The tense hours endured by Amman demonstrated that stability will prevail and that it is safeguarded by the Jordanians and regional and international community.
