Jordanian fighter jets join European military base

[Nishan]

Amman, Apr 5 (Petra) -- Royal Air Force fighter jets joined a military base in Europe two days ago to provide logistical support for imposition of a no-fly zone over Libya and protect Jordanian military aircraft flying humanitarian aid to Libyan people, Foreign Minister Nasser Judeh announced on Tuesday.

Judeh told editors of daily newspapers that His Majesty King Abdullah had ordered aid aircraft into Libya, the first of which landed at Benghazi Airport yesterday, adding that Jordan would continue sending more humanitarian supplies.

He said Jordan's involvement in Libya is to offer logistical support for enforcement of the no-fly zone mandated by a United Nations resolution, adding that the Kingdom would continue its efforts at all levels to help Libyans to come out of the current crisis.

Judeh had attended a series of meetings on Libya, including an emergency Arab foreign ministers meeting at Arab League headquarters and meetings in Paris and London.

The minister said Libyans needed protection but stressed the bloodshed should stop, reiterating that Jordan backed Arab and international resolutions on the no-fly zone, but opposed foreign invasion of the country.

He also emphasised that Libya's territorial unity be safeguarded.

Commenting on popular uprisings in the region, Judeh said Jordan had "a positive" image in the world, an impression he had made during the recent international meetings he had taken part in. He said Jordan is closely monitoring the situation in Syria, stressing the Kingdom's keenness on the security and stability of its neighbour.

Judeh also said Jordan rejected Iranian threats against Gulf Arab states, urging Tehran to take a policy of good neighbourliness with those countries.

However, he stressed that the Palestinian issues, the core of the conflict in the region, should be kept in the spotlight and that regional turmoil should not shift the focus on the Palestinian cause.

Jordan, a country with a per capita GDP on the level of the Congo, is buying expensive toys for the absolute monarch. Very good, very good.

It's funny how these Arab despots try to save their a** from what is to come. Do you think it will appease the Jordanian people in the long run? These despots still refuse to read the writings on the wall.

Citizens of Bangladesh are Bangladeshis. Bengalis are an ethnic community whose people live in Bangladesh (156 million), India(70 million) and many other countries. I objected to your use of the word 'Bengali democracy' because the Bengalis are not a nation, they are an ethnic community.

Why are Arabs still wasting time buying expensive toys from uncle sam when they can invest in science and build there own fighter ? really even if your new fighter isnt that good it's still a start really ARAB NEED TO INVEST IN SCIENCE AND TECH INCLUDE A SPACE PROGRAM once the oil runs out well the world won't really care what happens to you.

GDP per Capita according to World Bank 2009:

he said on the level pf the Congo and you proved him correct lmao
you also proved that countries like Angola are ahead of Jordan while Jordan is spending its limited resources on over priced American weaponary.
what's extremely sad here is that you are actually proud of this fact haha

Countries like Nigeria, Cuba and Columbia have higher scientific outputs than Jordan. Your future is literally hanging in the balance but you spend all your days making anti Iranian threads (obviously not regarding this thread). If you had any proper education you would be able to add 2+2 and see the sad reality of the Arab world. With each year, you guys are falling lower and lower and yet you are becoming more and more proud. I want you to think about this, CUBA HAS A HIGHER SCIENTIFIC OUTPUT than your country. Just think about it.

I agree with you completely

. . .countries like Angola are ahead of Jordan while Jordan is spending its limited resources on over priced American weaponary. In fact these words need to prove

what's extremely sad here is that you are actually proud of this fact Jordan is a non-member ally of NATO this allows Jordan to get some advanced weapons at preferential prices


Countries like Nigeria, Cuba and Columbia have higher scientific outputs than Jordan. prove this information

Your future is literally hanging in the balance but you spend all your days making anti Iranian threads (obviously not regarding this thread). The Iranian regime make Iran the enemy of the Arabs . . Arab public opinion has become convinced that Iran is more dangerous than Israel


If you had any proper education you would be able to add 2+2 and see the sad reality of the Arab world. With each year, you guys are falling lower and lower and yet you are becoming more and more proud. I want you to think about this, CUBA HAS A HIGHER SCIENTIFIC OUTPUT than your country. Just think about it.

Obviously you are a fan of Ahmadinejad . . Before you jump to the comparison between the Arab States and Cuba . . I prefer that you remain in the case of degraded Iranian setuation . . Economic , scientific ,Standard of living and educational conditions of Arab countries is much better than Iran several times . .
