Jordanians have vowed to continue protesting after the resignation of the country’s prime minister, broadening their demands to include a complete overhaul of the government’s system and approach.
The protests began last week amid anger over an income tax reform bill and price increases.
Prime Minister Hani al-Mulki resigned on Monday, a move seen by many as an attempt by the kingdom to defuse the outrage over the economic policies.
But protesters are expected to again take to the streets later on Monday for the fifth consecutive day, demonstrators and organisers say, calling for a “new approach” to how the government operates.
While Jordanians have been chanting and calling for the removal Mulki, who assumed office in 2016, they have also called for transparency, a clear set of goals, and for overall change in government policies.
