From CNN:
(CNN) -- The king of Jordan dismissed his government Tuesday and appointed a new prime minister with orders to implement political reform.
The dismissal follows several protests calling for change in Jordan -- protests that echo demonstrations that have swept across North Africa and the Middle East in the last few weeks.
King Abdullah II asked Marouf Al Bakhit to form a government in Jordan that will implement "genuine political reform," the Royal Court said in a statement.

He's not alone in hearing the footsteps marching up behind him.

The governments of Egypt (obviously), Yemen, Morocco, and Libya are all feeling the heat. And the Saudi king has issues a sputtering condemnation of the Egyptian protesters, claiming that they are being led by "infiltrators."
An amazing moment to bear historical witness to.
