Yesterday suddenly King Abdullah II of Jordan announced that his brother Hamza is no longer the crown prince .A surprise was the response of the Jordanian Street and the Arabic street in General ,and the surprise increased when The young king announced the reasons
Main reasons are the young prince wasn't free enough because of his responsibilities at the same time the title of Crown prince doesn't give him enough responsibilities or enough freedom to do more active role in the society !! Do you get anything !!??
Contradiction is obvious ,I know one thing any member in any royal family or even minister family in any Arab country has freedom then anyone else in the country
Another thing Prince Hamza was chosen to be the crown price despite it is against the royal constitution in Jordan that states the crown prince will the oldest of the King's male sons ,Before Hamza ,there was Abdullah (the King Now), Faisal and Ali ,then he and another one I don't recall his name
Hamza was chosen by the wish and order of King Hussein late king of Jordan before his death by days and some rumors said by hours .(Hussein once said about Hamza that he was the delight of my eyes)
why I am writing this ? well I am not convinced by Abdullah 's reasons , my middle eastern conspiracy theory mind says another thing and this thing was reinforced by the analysis of Al-Arabya news channel yesterday (the rival of Al-jazeera ,yet not strong like it) in indirect way , no can say the whole truth ,nothing but truth in Arab world
Ok Prince Hamza is just 24 years old ,works in Jordanian army ,he has just finished his study in either the U.S or The U.K ,I don't remember and got married from his beautiful cousin princess I don't remember her name but I saw their wedding in the TV
Ok this seems like a fairy tale but let's stop in one point ,Hamza works in the army ,he is an officer ,a good one and according to his position in the Kingdom he made some improvements in it (Al-arabya statement ,nothing else ,nothing more added except from my sick conspiracy theory mind)
Jordanian Army is not strong as the Egyptian or the Israeli or even the Syrian Army or the Saudi too
Yet gaining a good reputation in the army gives a high ranking officers a power among soldiers and other officers popularity that could gives them a power to change things or reach things in other words they can overthrow the ruler ( any military based country has this rule ,you can see it in reality in Latin America or in the great war between Nasser of Egypt in 60s and his defense minister Amar , a war that its main results was the awful defeat of Six days war)
Some well say hey ,is he going to make a revolution and steal the throne from his brother? guys this is just a theory
well he is a half brother to the king anyway his own dad ,got rid from his own father and took the throne ,it runs in the family
and it is not a new thing in the royal families in the Arab World , Prince of Qatar is an excellent example.
Back to Jordan ,now according to the laws the crown price has no political activity yet this isn't a holy law cannot be broken ,Prince Hassan ,the King's uncle and ex-crown prince ,had a great role in the political life of Jordan ,that till he left a gap no one can fill
Other interesting fact Prince Hamza is half American ,his mom is queen mother Nour (Lisa Halby) ,and he is being respected so much by the western world
Why do I am thinking in this way ? well in Jordan especially there were many attempts of Revolutions against royalty , many attempts to kill the king whether El-Hussein.
why do I care ? Jordan is next door to Egypt , I don't care what happens in south Africa
