More than a thousand Jordanian protesters demonstrated Friday in central Amman calling for the country to be saved from corruption and demanding regime reforms. “Saving Jordan from corruption is a national duty,” read a banner carried by the protesters, including opposition Islamists and youth groups, who marched from Al-Husseini mosque to the nearby city hall in the city centre. “Jordan is not for sale. The people want to reform the regime,” they chanted as they carried a large national flag. “So far, there is no reform. Jordanian will not stop unless they see real reforms,” Jamil Abu Baker, spokesman of the powerful Muslim Brotherhood, told AFP. The demonstration comes a day after Prime Minister Awn Khasawneh won a comfortable vote of confidence for his government from parliament.
