Jordanian protesters have taken to Amman’s streets nightly in their thousands during Ramadan, transforming the normally festive Muslim month into a solemn show of solidarity with Palestinians in war-battered Gaza.
“I don’t think we can celebrate,” said Ahmed al-Tubeigi, 32, ahead of the holiday of Eid al-Fitr later this week, which marks the end of the fasting month.
“It would be shameful,” he said during a rally on Sunday.
“There’s no Eid atmosphere.”
