With Muslim New Year falling on Thursday the Kingdom of Jordan gets ready for a stormy extended weekend of mass protests over drastic price-hikes. The winter of discontent is upon the Jordanian people who are hunkering down for a season of protests if their cry is not answered.
With price hikes coming into force, the usually relaxed Jordanians take to the streets in force to protest the changes and even challenge the regime itself.
Jordan's Arab Spring stop-start routine is starting to leave all hanging and wondering - will the Kingdom see any tangible outcomes from their somewhat disparate (and some say copy-cat) call for change? November 16th's Friday protest marked the fourth day of this latest spree of rallies to express the people's discontent with the price escalation and other big issues.
