Naseem Tarawneh writes about the 200 temporary laws in the Jordanian Constitution created between 1999 and 2005. Lina Ejeilat meanwhile is angry at the situation regarding the arrest of Chief Editors of the two weekly tabloids, Shihan and Al-Mihwar for re-publishing the cartoons, “So basically while the Jordanian Press Association stands up against government intervention or punishment of journalists for something they publish, it retains this right for itself!” Natasha Tynes is also angry at the constitution that does not allow a Jordanian women to pass on her citizenship to her children, “Even a residence permit for children with foreign fathers is not given automatically or free of charge.

Months ago, I truly honestly believed that something positive was gonna come out of - guess what - the National Agenda.
