King Abdullah Hussein appoints new Prime Minister

Pressures are rising in the Middle East and reaching beyond Egypt, Iraq, Iran into Israel and Jordan. The latter countries are wondering what all the dissent and uprising means for their countries and their relations with Egypt. King Abdullah Hussein responded to unrest from his people in the Muslim factions by asking the current Prime Minister to step down. King Hussein appointed a man in his place who adheres more to the desires of the people of Muslim faith. Since the King is a Christian this poses some conflict for him and his country. One can only watch to see how this unfolds and to wonder if this one measure will appease the outcry of the majority to form a unity government under the Muslim brotherhood.

Pray for Jordan and its people and for us all.
