Arab Diplomats: US, Qatar Coordinating to Destabilize Jordan
The US and Qatar are coordinating plans to destabilize Jordan, Arab sources warned on Wednesday, adding that both countries are making hectic efforts to this end,according to FNA.
“The US and Qatar’s embassies (in Jordan) in a coordinated move are recruiting groups in Jordan to strike at the country’s stability,” the Arabic-language al-Manar weekly quoted Arab diplomatic sources as saying.
Qatar has recently augmented its moves and meddling in several regional states. Sources disclosed earlier this week that Qatar has also been trying to destabilize Syria and Kuwait.
On Sunday, Russian analysts said that the Jordanian king is deeply fearful that the destabilizing efforts made by Turkey, Egypt and Qatar lead to a chaos in his country.
In an article titled ‘Jordan: Arab Spring May Come in January’ published in The Voice of Russia website, Nikita Sorokin wrote that King Abdullah II of Jordan fears that popular uprising may soon grip his country.
According to him the new “axis” of Turkey, Egypt and Qatar may contribute to the spread of such an uprising. It is not ruled out that amid the clashes in Syria and the deterioration of the domestic situation the run-in scenario of the Arab chaos will be implemented in Jordan, Sorokin added.
The Arab chaos has already affected Jordan. Only last month several people were killed in protest rallies. Mainly, the protesters demanded lower price on gasoline but there were also appeals to overthrow the King. Abdullah II is trying to maneuver between the interests of his supporters and the ambitions of the opposition.
