Contextualisation socio-politique des mouvements de révolte à Maan - en écho au post précédent sur ce sujet : ▻http://seenthis.net/messages/144508
Pas d’une clarté extraordinaire mais des éléments intéressants sur l’opposition ville / badia (steppe - les nomades sédentarisés) et l’émergence d’un mouvement local salafiste
Jordan’s South Slips From Government Grip | Al Akhbar English

Civil disobedience has now entered its third day amid bread shortage. Almost a quarter century after the 1989 uprising, it seems that the security-based approach is all that is left of the fledgling Jordanian state. It is all too apparent that social crises stemming from government policies are only endangering the fate of the state. After all, Maan is the poorest governorate in the kingdom, not to mention the site of Salafi jihadi groups and soaring unemployment.
Aside from coming down in full force, the government has done little else to tackle the crisis. In the meantime, a leader of the Salafi jihadi movement in the city known as Abu Sayyaf appealed for efforts to nip sedition in the bud, while asserting that he was not keen on preserving any regime or government.
However, these Salafi groups, once easily swayed by political machinations, may now be outside the control of the government. Socioeconomic changes affecting the composition of Jordanian cities, led by Maan, indicate that the issue is also linked to an entire shadow system outside of state control – whether in relation to its coordination with al-Qaeda’s international organization or its reliance on smuggling weapons and other contraband to raise money.
