Amman: A number of
Jordanian activists staged protests in front of the Egyptian
embassy in Amman to express their support for the Egyptians who
have taken to the streets demanding the ouster of President Hosni
Mubarak since the last few days.
Dozens of demonstrators Saturday, including trade unionists,
Islamists and members of political parties, raised slogans
Saturday against Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak and called on
him to step down, Xinhua reported Sunday.
They voiced support for the Egyptian protesters.
The protesters in Egypt, which are calling for democracy, the
ouster of President Hosni Mubarak and more employment
opportunities, are some of the largest since Mubarak took power
about 30 years ago.
The toll of protestors in the nationwide demonstrations in Egypt
climbed to 51 Saturday.
