Along the lines of France’s yellow vest demonstrations, Jordanians took to the streets donning red keffiyehs as part of their weekly rallies near Prime Minister Omar al-Razzaz’s office. The demonstrations began Dec. 6 and call for political and economic reforms and pressuring the new government to renege on a tax reform bill and austerity measures backed by the International Monetary Fund.
The weekly protests, which are organized every Thursday, have been held under the slogans Maanash (We are broke) and Mesh Satkin (We will not remain silent).
