Jordan: Activists plan protest march from Grand Husseini Mosque in Amman Nov. 11

Event

Activists plan to march from the Grand Husseini Mosque in Amman the afternoon of Nov. 11 to protest the water-for-energy deal between Jordan and Israel. Under the agreement, Jordan would provide Israel with solar energy in exchange for desalinated water. The march is due to start after Friday prayers; the exact start time of the action is unclear. Hundreds of individuals could attend the event.

Increased security and localized transport disruptions are likely near the Grand Husseini Mosque the afternoon of Nov. 11. Clashes between police and protesters cannot be ruled out, particularly if demonstrators are overly disruptive or if they ignore police orders to disperse.

Advice

Avoid the protest due to the potential for clashes. Heed the advice of security personnel. Allow additional time if traveling through the affected area Nov. 11.
