Breaking - Large protests underway in Amman, Jordan aftern government hike in fuel prices
Jordan raises fuel prices, sparking protests

Published: 11.13.12, 22:13 / Israel News

Jordan's prime minister has announced price hikes for gas and other fuels, setting off demonstrations in the capital, Amman, and at least two other cities.

"Revolution, revolution, it is a popular revolution," chanted about 1,000 protesters in a protest at a main square. They were affiliated with Muslim, leftist and youth opposition groups. (AP)

Apparently, the US administration is a little concerned Jordan may be the next to fall -

Blake Hounshell @blakehounshell 30m Don't look now but stuff is getting real in Jordan. U.S. very worried about this.


DavidKenner @DavidKenner 30m "The Jordanian monarchy really seems to be in trouble now."

Some are already calling Amman's Dakhliyyeh Circle the new Tahrir Square.
