AMMAN (JT) — Reported rallies staged Tuesday in Baghdad in front of the Jordanian embassy calling for restoring Hashemite rule to Iraq were “spontaneous acts” by the public and the Kingdom has nothing to do with them, Minister of State for Political Affairs and Minister of Information Mohammad Adwan said.
Adwan reaffirmed that Jordan's stand is clear and unchanged with regard to the Iraqi issue.
“Such a stand is based on the principle of non-interference in the internal affairs of Iraq. Any Iraqi leadership must be chosen by a free Iraqi people,” he stressed.
The minister told The Jordan Times and Al Rai that several Iraqi groups have been calling for restoring the Hashemite rule which was toppled in a bloody massacre in 1958.
Adwan was commenting on reports of Iraqis taking to the streets Tuesday calling for a Hashemite monarchy to rule their country. The rallies' final destination in Baghdad was the Jordanian embassy.
Meanwhile, a representative of Iraq's Sunni community, Ahmad Obeid Abdullah Al Qobeissi, said here the majority of Sunnis and Shiites consider a Hashemite leadership in Iraq as a feasible solution to bring about stability to the country.
Qobeissi was in Amman Monday to take part in an international seminar on the future of Iraq, where HRH Prince Hassan acted as patron.
He added that in Iraq still lives a generation who witnessed the rule of the Hashemite family that continued for nearly four decades.
“After a bitter experience under the republic system, they demand, though in a disorganised way, a Hashemite leadership or even any form of unity with Jordan,” the leading Sunni cleric and former exile said.

If it turns out the Iraqi people prefer a king to democracy, how can we stop them from voting for a king?
