| 2012-07-02 |
| Jordan's king is urging his country's Islamist opposition to take part in upcoming elections, despite their dissatisfaction with reforms. Â King Abdullah II made the appeal in a rare interview on Jordan TV on Sunday. It appeared to be part of his attempt to engage with Islamists, who make up the main opposition in Jordan. Islamists have made gains all over the region after Arab Spring uprisings and show increasing strength in Jordan. |
