Around 20 people, including members of the royal family, were arrested in the Arab country on Saturday, suspected of planning a coup against the country.
They must have been arrested in a security operation and must have represented a “threat to the security of the country. According to Reuters sources, it should not have been a purely physical blow, but rather an influence operation to destabilize the nation.
Prince: I’m under house arrest
One of the detainees is Prince Hamza bin Hussein, half brother of King Abullah II. The court denies that this is the case, but according to the prince himself, he is under house arrest. In 2004, Abdullah changed the order of succession so that Prince Hamza is no longer heir to the throne.
“I received a visit from the commander of the Jordanian army this morning. He said that I was not allowed to go out or communicate with people,” Prince Hamza said in a BBC video.
In recent months there have been demonstrations in the monarchy against corruption and the management of the corona pandemic in the country. Police doused the protests with tear gas.
America supports the king
Prince Hamza is critical of the government.
– I am not responsible for the problems of governance, corruption and incompetence in the state during the last 15 to 20 years, and they have worsened.
The royal houses of Egypt, the United States and Saudi Arabia have shown their support for King Abullah, writes the BBC.
