Media coverage of international events that took place recently in the Middle East has captured the Jordan. Newspapers like the New York Times, Washington Post, Foreign Policy, The Independent, Haaretz, The Guardian, Der Spiegel, to name a few, and television channels such as Sky News and the BBC have voted on the fate of our country.
In this context, it is particularly interesting is the statement of U.S. State Department spokesman, Philip Crowley, made during a recent press conference to discuss the Egyptian case. Where applications have moved on Jordan, Crowley has amazed everyone present with his answer: "I am here to answer questions about Egypt, not the Jordan." Jordan has become a subject of conversation to be dissected and analyzed, but strangely we are witnessing a radical transformation in the way the media have a guide on what until a few years ago we used to call "the modern monarchy and stable in the lands of the autocracy.
" This in turn echoes all the international reports on civil rights, democracy and freedom of speech, which have suddenly begun to move heavy criticism of the kingdom. It 'clear that bite the most brilliant idea of the system model. Some articles give analysis rather than theoretical, but others reflect the personal experience of journalists who came into direct contact with the population.
In his last article in the NY Times, Thomas Friedman wrote: "Egypt, Jordan, Yemen and Tunisia today abound on the type of people most frustrated of the world - the 'educated unemployable'. These possess a degree on paper, but do not really have the skills that would make them globally competitive.
" Although Jordan has many voices called attention to the issue, it is important to quote Friedman's statements after his visit to Jordan. Our experience suggests that simply do not feel local ears until the source does not come from abroad. It is hoped that the voice of Friedman hits the ears of decision makers and giving them a wake up on the concerns of our people, the journalist said in his speech: "I have not been in Jordan for a while 'time, but today ringing in my ear to the complaints about corruption, dissatisfaction with the King and Queen, and disgust with the yawning gap between rich and poor.
" If the point at issue is the lack of listening to the voices of our people, there is a good reason. An example was when the Jordanian officials have not recognized the National Committee of the Armed Forces myself, and as usual, they simply chose to ignore their existence. For too long, Jordanian officials have not addressed the problems, preferring to hide them.
The last refuge is to not admit the existence of a problem, ignore it, even when everyone else realizes it. To raise public awareness about the issues and let us see what is not wanted, had to intervene abroad. Robert Fisk, one of the most famous journalists of the international press, he came over here to interview members of the Committee, and their requests are finished on the front page of Britain's The Independent.
On any local newspaper, not even a word. Today, the Committee is finalizing its report on corruption and all the scandals relating to the sale of assets that require the Jordanian government to respond seriously. For Jordan the story is repeated in the official reaction to today's problems.
What happened when Al Rifai autocratic wanted to enact a law that gave it the power to suppress all dissent against his and his government? Of course, it was not taken into consideration any of the items that we have all published in Jordan expressed concern about the suppression of fundamental freedoms and the inderbolirsi image of our country, until such time as the Washington Post's Janine Zacharia wrote on restrictions and how the same Jordan becoming oppressive.
The problem is that our media are a reflection of our policy. And we think that we still live in the "dark ages". So when someone comes from outside and produce news for the world with its articles, is led to consider only two options: close your eyes and keep going so tame despite the difficulties, or simply decide to cancel or resume without mentioning the crucial issues, throw away the substance, and go ahead anyway.
Twitter and Facebook have changed the world. Young people come into contact and interact anywhere and share issues in an attempt to find solutions. For the defenders of the "dark ages" it is time to use social networks to listen to the voice of the people and do something. At a minimum, they could find them as a most useful way to understand people, instead of using them simply as a marketing tool for their propaganda.
"We are living in a big lie," said a Bedouin, quoted by The New York Times, to describe the current situation in Jordan. If we reflect on what it is veriamente seriously. The reform should come from within. We should push away from the empty promises and lead to actions that lead to making real progress.
The agenda of our reform should focus on the circulation of power, wealth distribution and the end of the political style of "one man show." People should be involved in political activity, and dealing with corruption should be obvious and must be conducted honestly. The Jordanians have lost hope of seeing the corrupt punished.
They only see the scenery and watch the games organized implemented by their governments for revenge or personal gain. If you do not change, we must resign ourselves to consider the normal state of things as has been described by The Washington Post: "It 'a club of businessmen to serve their financial interests."
