La mobilisation pour le rétablissement des subventions sur l’énergie semble rester importante hors d’Amman. La géographie de ces révoltes semble reproduire celle de 1989, 2002, etc. : les régions périphériques, les plus défavorisées, seraient à la pointe des protestations.

According to the Public Security Department, the bulk of the clashes occurred in southern Jordan, where leftist and Islamist activists held a series of rallies to denounce the government decision to lift fuel subsidies.
A peaceful rally degenerated into violence in the city of Tafileh, 195 kilometres south of Amman, when anti-riot forces prevented some 200 protesters from marching towards the governorate headquarters, according to the police.
Gendarmerie Forces resorted to tear gas to disperse the protesters after participants began pelting anti-riot forces with stones and attempted to close off the main road into the city with burning tyres, police officials said.
Meanwhile, security forces fired tear gas on some 150 protesters in the city of Karak, 140km south of the capital, after demonstrators attempted to storm the governorate’s headquarters, which was torched in a riot late Thursday.
