NB! This post is not meant as a mockery or a plain joke. Irony can be used to deal with topics that are hard or taboo. By using a funny form you can break into topics that are otherwise left alone! And that is the intention behind this post!
The facts in the post (numbers, recruiting methods and so on) is retrieved from a discussion with 2 Jordanian activists – who shared with me their personal knowledge and experiences. I am sure their stories do not uncover the whole truth about the Jordanian security aparatus, but they present one angle and perspective – and that is the perspective which is communicated in this post.
Seems like a good job to me
arru??
@Ahmad: I am sure you can get something even though you are not at university anymore. They are always looking for new people.
@Murad? Eh what? sho ya3ni “arru”?
Nadia,
Im not sure whether you copied this from an advetisment that someone told you had existed, or if you were just being sarcastic and creative? Im also not sure about your source for information regarding this issue specifically.
I know that you are involved in research and studies concerning Jordanian youth, I know that you have great interest in this area. Either way I respect your opinon and I assume that your post is not just for fun.
I cannot not comment on a few things given my experience in a Jordanian University as a studnet and as an active volunteer in non acadamic activites.
University students in Jordan have minumum political exposure and participation unlike western universities, this is due to a number of reasons one of which is because Universities are known to be monitored closely by security agencies. Security agencies are concerned about one thing regarding Uni students, that is political affiliations and activism.
Given the above reason, security agencies work in universities is limited to knowing if any student develops a sense of political affiliation or activism. In addition to that they would try to interfere in student unions and elections trying to empower the Nationalist movement against the Islamic movement – the Nationalist movement is known to be less organized and with almost no funding unlike the Islamic movement which is well organized and well funded.
Recently, some of the activists demands were for the governemnt to lift that security grip off of universities and allow political participation and activism. The response came from the King in a letter to the PM earlier this year ordering all security agencies to stop interference in University life.
Im not sure whether things have changed or not, and I am personally against any governemnt policies restricting students from political participation and hope that things would change for the better in Jordanian universities.
My personal experience being a student in a Jordanian University:
From my experience and since I was an active volunteer in different activites some of which were political, I got to interact with many different people some of which were affilliated with security agencies.
Unlike what your post said about students being offered a job and a competetive salary, those students are asked for help under the cause of Nationalism and being a good citizen; students choose whether to be involved or not in this process. They are definitley not given a salary because they are not employees and they are definitley not offered jobs after graduation because all of them currently have non security related jobs.
Any student that is affiliated with a security agency in not a dependable source of information but rather a dependable organizer for an election campaign or a national student event. They are usually connected to one person – mainly a student – who is considered a coordinator (liaison person).
Finally, affiliated students are not in large numbers like your post had mentioned, in my university they were a handful. Those students barely interact with a real security officer and have no affilation or contact with any security agency after graduaiton.
Ironically, politically affiliated/ active students who were harrassed during thier student years and those students that chose to be affiliated to a security agency carry on with their lives normally as if nothing had happend.
P.S.
* I am against any security interfernce in University life, and I support political awareness for Uni students in Jordan.
* I am sure there are exceptional cases to all of what I have mentioned above
* The purpose of my rather large comment is to give a different insight to your post
* I respect all opinions, especially yours Nadia knowing your interest in Jordanian Youth
* Please forgive me for making this comment very long, maybe even boring
@Ahmad: First of all thank you so much for taking the time to bring such an elaborate and well thought through comment – I really appreciate that.
I didn’t copy the post from anywhere, but I wrote it based on a conversation I had with some Jordanian activists. I couldn’t write a serious post about the security situation in Jordan since my sources were anonymous and not representative. I knew I would be struck down hard if I tried to post this as a fact post – so I chose sarcasm.
I can’t be sure that all the facts I got are accurate, but I know enough about Jordan and the security situation to know that they are not completely off the rails. So the post was an attempt to start a discussion about one of the most sensitive topics in Jordan – the role of the security aparatus.
My post is one perspective on the situation, and your comment has showed another. I hope more people will join in and give their points of view on the topic.
Thanks again for taking the time to write
