I thought that I would just update everyone on some of the stuff that is taking place in the region, since I am sure that it is in the news quite a bit. I know that some of the other Middle Eastern nations are starting to have protests, among other things against their governments.
There are usually protests that take place in Jordan (Amman) and they are generally pretty peaceful and well organized. Last week there was a protest, in Zarqa, from a group of tribes that took place, and there was some violence, but the situation was resolved. There was another set of protests this past weekend in Amman, which were for government reform regarding the economic condition. There was some violence that took place, though it was nothing as drastic as what is happening around the region. I have not been affected at all by what is happening in Amman, besides people being a little more tense than usual, but other than that I don’t really hear much about anything else happening.
It doesn’t seem like there should be any issues in Jordan, though I will of course be vigilant. I just thought that I would share what little information I have, for those who were curious.
