Abstract
In 2013, a Jordanian town near Mafraq
in the north ran out of water. The
villagers barricaded roads and burned
tires. This was no ordinary protest:
King Abdullah himself came to the scene,
assuring the villagers he would get water
to them in tankers. In a move uncharacteristic
of Jordanian politics, the villagers
refused. They wanted water piped directly
into their houses instead. In the end, the
king promised piped water.
