Jordan is a country located in Asia. According to AbbreviationFinder, JO is the two-letter ISO code of Jordan, and JOR is the three-letter country abbreviation for Jordan.
Jordan. According to Countryaah, the national day of Jordan is May 25. The 1994 peace agreement with Israel still did not give a concrete dividend and unemployment remained high. Support for Islamist movements grew, which worried King Hussein to such an extent that during the year he interrupted the progress towards democracy he initiated in 1989.
In March, the king dismissed Prime Minister Abd al-Karim Kabariti, according to some information due to disagreement between them about the country’s policy towards Israel. Replacement was the former Prime Minister Abd as-Salam al-Majali, who later during the year led J’s delegation in the peace talks with Israel.
In September, Israeli agents attempted to assassinate one of Hamas (Islamic Resistance Movement) leaders, Khalid Mashal, by stabbing a syringe at him on an open street in Amman. After pressure from King Hussein, Israel handed over an antidote that saved Mashal’s life. The agents were arrested and the king could, in exchange for handing them over to Israel, cause Hamas’s founder, Sheikh Ahmed Yassin, to be released from Israeli prison along with some 50 other prisoners, mainly Palestinians. The drama led to increased support for both King Hussein and Hamas.
On November 4, Jordan went to election. The largest opposition party Islamic Action Front – the Muslim Brotherhood’s political branch – and other parties called for a boycott in protest at the King’s introduction of a new press law that forced 13 newspapers to close. The turnout was below 50%. The King’s supporters won 62 of the 80 seats, while the rest of the seats went to independent nationalists and Islamists who stood outside the boycott.
That the Islamic Front of Action distanced itself from the country’s political process worried analysts. The fact that the Islamists were sitting in Parliament was seen as a guarantee that they would not resort to violence, as they did in e.g. Egypt and Algeria where their movements are banned.
Following the parliamentary elections, the Islamic Action Front and eight other parties planned to launch a campaign to, among other things, stop the approach to Israel. However, the groups assured that they intended to use peaceful means.
In March, a Jordanian soldier shot seven Israeli schoolgirls on an outing at the border between the two countries. He was sentenced in July to life in prison for murder. That he was not sentenced to the death penalty was because the court judged him as mentally unstable.

The issue of Syrian refugees
As the fifth anniversary of the Syrian conflict dawns, Jordan has opened its border to more than 630,000 refugees. This, at least, is the partial data recorded by the United Nations High Commissioner (UNHCR, the body that, together with other non-profit organizations, deals with the reception of refugees). Government sources, however, have estimated figures in excess of one million. Amid so many and growing difficulties, the Kingdom of Jordan has shown its support for the Syrian and Iraqi people, leaving free access to its territory and offering assistance and security to refugees displaced in the refugee camps north of the country of Zaatari, Mrajeeb al-Fhood and Azraq. The Zaatari camp, in the desert governorate of Mafraq, has quickly become the second largest camp in the world: according to the UNHCRit hosts 120,000 displaced people, mainly women, children and the elderly. The most serious social problems generated by the Syrian presence in Jordan did not arise in the camps but in the communities, where most Syrians tried to settle to look for work. Jordan suffers from a high chronic unemployment rate which affects about 12% of the total population and 33.7% of young people. The fear of many Jordanians is substantiated in the fact that many Syrians could steal jobs from the locals, thus exhausting precious welfare resources reserved for them, so much so as to push parliamentarians and senior officials to ask the government to close the borders with Syria. Jordanian concerns are based on fears that mass arrivals of Syrians could pose a new threat to national identity. A situation, this, which has already been experienced in the past by Amman with the influx of Palestinians from the West Bank. To meet the needs of refugees and prevent the Syrian crisis from crossing borders, Amman has mainly resorted to foreign aid.
Yordani ni nchi iliyoko Asia. "Jordan ina jina la kifupi la ""Jordan"" (Jordan) na jina la kifupi la ""Jordan"" (Jordan) ni jina la kifupi la ""Jordan"" (Jordan) na jina la kifupi la ""Jordan"" (Jordan) ni jina la kifupi la ""Jordan"" (Jordan)." Yordani. Kwa mujibu wa Countryaah, siku ya taifa ya Jordan ni Mei 25. Mkataba wa amani wa mwaka 1994 uliopitishwa na Israel ulifikia mwisho mwaka jana, lakini bado umebaki kuwa na kiwango cha juu cha ukosefu wa ajira. Msaada kwa harakati za Kiislamu ulikua, jambo ambalo lilimshtua Mfalme Hussein kwa kiwango kwamba mwaka huo alivunja maendeleo ya kidemokrasia aliyokuwa ameanzisha mwaka 1989. Mfalme alimuondoa waziri mkuu Abd al-Karim al-Kabariti madarakani mwezi Machi, kulingana na taarifa za habari, kwa sababu ya kutokubaliana kati yao kuhusu sera ya nchi hiyo kuelekea Israel. Mabadiliko hayo yalifanywa na Waziri Mkuu wa zamani Abd as-Salam al-Majali, ambaye baadaye mwaka huo aliongoza ujumbe wa J's katika mazungumzo ya amani na Israeli. Agensi za Israel zilijaribu kumuua kiongozi wa Hamas Khaled Mashal kwa kumchoma sindano katika barabara moja mjini Amman. Baada ya kushinikizwa na Mfalme Hussein, Israeli ilitoa dawa ya kuua ugonjwa ambayo iliokoa maisha ya Mashal. "Mfalme huyo aliamua kuwaachilia huru wafungwa hao na kuwaachilia huru mwanzilishi wa Hamas, Sheikh Ahmed Yassin, pamoja na wafungwa wengine 50 ambao wengi wao ni Wapalestina.""" Drama hiyo ilisababisha kuongezeka kwa msaada kwa Mfalme Hussein na Hamas. Mnamo Novemba 4, Jordan ilihudhuria uchaguzi. Chama kikuu cha upinzani cha Islamic Action Front, tawi la kisiasa la Muslim Brotherhood, na vyama vingine vilitoa wito wa kupiga marufuku maandamano dhidi ya kuanzishwa kwa sheria mpya ya vyombo vya habari na Mfalme, ambayo ililazimisha magazeti 13 kufungwa. Idadi ya waliohudhuria ilikuwa chini ya 50%. Wafuasi wa Mfalme walishinda viti 62 kati ya 80, wakati viti vingine vilipelekwa kwa wanaukabila huru na Waislamu ambao walisimama nje ya kupiga marufuku. Kwamba Chama cha Islamic cha Hatua kilijitenga na mchakato wa kisiasa wa nchi hiyo kiliwafanya wachambuzi kuwa na wasiwasi. "Ujumbe wa Waislamu katika Bunge la Uingereza ulionekana kama uthibitisho kwamba hawatatumia nguvu kama walivyofanya katika vita vya pili vya dunia.""" Misri na Algeria ambapo harakati zao zimepigwa marufuku. Baada ya uchaguzi wa bunge, chama cha Islamic Action Front na vyama vingine nane vilipanga kuanzisha kampeni ya kukomesha uhusiano na Israel. Hata hivyo, vikundi hivyo vilihakikishia kwamba vilikuwa na nia ya kutumia njia za amani. Machi mwaka jana, askari wa Jordan aliwaua wasichana saba wa shule ya Israeli walipokuwa wakisafiri kwenye mpaka kati ya nchi hizo mbili. Alihukumiwa kifungo cha maisha gerezani mwezi Julai kwa mauaji. Kwa sababu hakuhukumiwa kifo, mahakama ilimwona kuwa mwenye ugonjwa wa akili. - Shopareview: Inatoa habari ya hali ya hewa ya Jordan katika Spring, Summer, Autumn, na Winter, kufunika kiwango cha juu na kiwango cha chini cha joto kwa kila moja ya miezi 12. Pia inatia ndani wakati mzuri wa kutembelea nchi hii. Jordan imefungua mpaka wake kwa wakimbizi zaidi ya 630,000 Hii ni takwimu ya sehemu ya kumbukumbu ya Kamishna Mkuu wa Umoja wa Mataifa (UNHCR), ambayo pamoja na mashirika mengine yasiyo ya faida, inashughulikia mapokezi ya wakimbizi. Hata hivyo, vyanzo vya serikali vimekadiria idadi hiyo kuwa zaidi ya milioni moja. "Katika hali ngumu na yenye kuongezeka, Jordan imeonyesha msaada wake kwa watu wa Syria na Iraq, ikitoa ruhusa ya kuingia katika eneo lake na kutoa msaada na usalama kwa wakimbizi waliohamishwa katika kambi za wakimbizi kaskazini mwa nchi ya Zaatari, Meraj-al-Fayoud na Azraq.""" Kambi ya Zaatari, katika jimbo la Mafraq, nchini Iraq, ni kambi ya pili kwa ukubwa duniani, na ina wakimbizi 120,000 ambao ni wanawake, watoto na wazee. Matatizo makubwa ya kijamii yaliyosababishwa na uwepo wa Wasiria nchini Jordan hayakuibuka katika kambi bali katika jamii, ambapo Wasiria wengi walijaribu kuishi kutafuta kazi. Jordan ina kiwango cha juu cha ukosefu wa kazi ya kuajiriwa, ambayo huathiri karibu 12% ya idadi ya watu wote na 33.7% ya vijana. Hofu ya Wajordani wengi inategemea ukweli kwamba Wasiria wengi wanaweza kuiba kazi kutoka kwa wenyeji, na hivyo kuondoa rasilimali za ustawi za thamani zilizowekwa kwa ajili yao, hadi kuwafanya wabunge na maafisa wakuu kuomba serikali kufunga mipaka na Syria. Wasiwasi wa Jordan unategemea hofu kwamba kuwasili kwa idadi kubwa ya Wasiria kunaweza kuanzisha tishio jipya kwa utambulisho wa kitaifa. Hali hii tayari imepatikana katika siku za nyuma na Amman na mtiririko wa Wapalestina kutoka Ukingo wa Magharibi. Ili kukidhi mahitaji ya wakimbizi na kuzuia mgogoro wa Syria kuvuka mipaka, Amman imehitaji msaada wa kigeni.
