Jordan’s opposition Islamic Action Front appears to be gearing up for mass protests surrounding the country’s January 23 election. In a shift from previous rhetoric and tactics, the Muslim Brotherhood-linked group is directly criticizing King Abdullah II. The expanded focus on the king may indicate that the Jordanian Muslim Brotherhood is preparing to destabilize the Hashemite Kingdom, with an eye on replicating the successes of counterparts in Egypt and Tunisia, where Arab Spring revolutions were followed by electoral victories and political ascension.
