10 Jordan Police Hurt in Clash with Syria Refugees
إقرأ هذا الخبر بالعربية
Ten policemen were injured in a clash with demonstrators in the Syrian refugee camp of Zaatari in northern Jordan, a security official said on Saturday.
The source, declining to be named, said two of the policemen were in serious condition after the clash on Friday night.
Violence broke out as 100 refugees held a protest against living conditions in Zaatari, home to more than 160,000 Syrians who have fled the bloodshed in their country, and a ban on leaving the desert camp near the border with Syria.
Jordan says it is hosting more than 500,000 Syrian refugees and the United Nations High Commissioner expects the number to soar to 1.2 million by the end of this year -- equivalent to a fifth of the kingdom's population.
On April 15, Jordan said the impact of the war in Syria was a threat to its security and that Amman would seek the United Nations Security Council's help in tackling the fallout.

Jordan, the useless country created by britain has the nerve to opress syrians. Shame on them a million times. Your police and army is only good for opressing refugees and poor people. You are nothing but puppets and dogs for the US. You have nothing to show for, all your prominents are foreigners, the country was created by foreigners, built by foreigners and is ruled by foreigners. Bedouins have always been traitors to islam. You will loose power of your fake kingdom that never was supposed to be created and you will be sent back to your tents and jordan will return to its rightful owners (syria to the north, palestine to the west and arabia to the east). You dont even have one decent hospital because all your aid money goes to your coward army, your fake british-bedouin king and to your filthy fitna making mukhabarat and police. A bunch of thieves. May your defeat be near.
