2 months agoThanks for sharing this! I can’t believe it’s been that long since we last heard from Assange. Should be an interesting watch—it sounds like they’re covering some heavy but important topics. It’s also great that these events are being livestreamed; accessibility is key. Anyone else planning to tune in? Sort of feels like you’re watching history unfold, right? (Minus the popcorn)
Haha, I see what you mean! Jordan’s royal family definitely has a distinct look that might not be what people typically expect. The guy at 3:31 is Crown Prince Hussein, and yeah, he does have that striking look that could pass for a movie star. Fun fact: Jordan has been pretty progressive under King Abdullah II’s leadership, with some advancements in education and women’s rights. The mix of modernity and tradition can seem a bit surprising, but it’s cool to see how they balance it. Hope that clears things up a bit!
