It is a sight rarely seen in Jordan – thousands on the streets, for nearly a week now, the largest protests the kingdom state has experienced in years.<\/p>\n

Since Saturday anger has been growing over a controversial new tax law, which many say will worsen the plight of poorer Jordanians and squeeze the middle class.<\/p>\n

Protesters have also criticised politicians for squandering public funds and corruption.<\/p>\n

“I want a better future. I want different decisions. I want a government that cares about people and not just money and businesses. I want an environment which is inclusive for everyone,”explained one protester.<\/p>\n

A new prime minister has been appointed.<\/p>\n

Harvard-educated Omar al-Razzaz, seen here on the left, has been tasked with forming a new government in a bid to appease the protesters.<\/p>\n

King Abdullah has called for the new government to conduct a full review of the country’s tax system. He also wants a dialogue over the planned income tax bill which has approval from Jordan’s chief lender, the IMF.<\/p>\n

Western allies looking on with concern waiting to see if the changes will diffuse the anger. Jordan which is a staunch US ally with a peace treaty with Israel, has remained the one stable country throughout years of regional turmoil.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
