Jordan s King Abdullah II addresses family feud, saying sedition buried
Jordan s King Abdullah II addressed the rare public rift within the royal family for the first time on Wednesday, saying the sedition that caused him anger and pain has been buried, but major challenges loom for the Western-allied monarchy as it confronts growing internal dissent.
The statement marked the first time the king has addressed the internal crisis that erupted over the weekend when Prince Hamzah, his half-brother and former crown prince, was confined to his home and accused of being part of a plot to destabilise the kingdom. The challenge of the last few days was not the hardest or the most dangerous to the stability of our nation, but it was the most painful because those who are party to the sedition were from our own home, the king s statement said.
