The fact that Jordan is marking its 100th anniversary,
having survived formidable challenges in a turbulent region, is the key
achievement this generation should celebrate, thanks to the wisdom of our
leaders, whose domestic and foreign policies have remained consistent and
geared towards one goal: the welfare of Jordan and its people, and peace for
all in the region.

Examples of such challenges are countless. To name a few,
the country has had to deal with numerous Mideast conflicts, external
conspiracies, economic challenges, the Arab Spring, and more significantly,
wave after wave of refugees. The way Jordan approached each and every one of
these episodes remains a living example of how challenges can be turned into
opportunities.
Speaking of challenges, what we need to do now is to
introduce this estimable legacy to the younger generation. In other words, the
media, the educational system, and all leaders and influencers, including
families, should work in tandem not merely to plant historical facts into the
minds of youth, but to make them believe in this country’s ability to see the
light at the end of the tunnel — its ability to move on stronger, more
confident, more respected by the world, and forever reliable as a peace partner
and broker. The spirit has never died and as Jordan walks into the second
century of its life, we need to make sure that the future generation has all
the tools and — most importantly — the faith to keep the torch alight.
It is true that we are celebrating the 100th birthday of the
Kingdom amid a stubborn pandemic and a crippling economic crisis, and that some
frustration is therefore justifiable. However, we have history to teach us that
our country has seen more difficult times and proved wrong those who have bet
on its failure. The fact that our head is still above the water is a victory in
itself, and a source of hope that we will make it to a better future. After
all, the darkest hour is just before the dawn.
We need to have our narrative ready. We need to tell the
world our story, and here Jordan News steps forward as a modern, truly
21st-century multichannel media organization. Jordan News is here to join the
voices speaking for Jordan amid skepticism and growing doubts over the ability
of professional media to survive in the chaos of fake news and loud voices that
want us to cease believing that tomorrow is a better day.
