Inter differences in the Baath party in Jordan
Jordan, Politics, 6/5/2001

The Jordanian weekly al-Majd said that lawyer Ahmad al-Najdawi, member of the higher leadership in the Jordanian Arab socialist party, which is pro Iraq, who is also the media spokesman and chairman of the said party's culture and media bureau has recently given up working in the said party as a result of a series of differences between him and certain members at the party's higher leadership.

Party sources in Amman said that the main differences between al-Najdawi and his opponents were with Akram al-Homsi who accused al-Najdawi in taking separate track in running the party's newspaper, besides criticism made against him because of the weakness in the paper's level.

The sources added that al-Najdawi submitted his resignation from the party's higher leadership and asked to be exempted from all his party tasks and stayed at his house, while the leadership decided to stop issuing al-Baath news paper for two months until a new commission is formed to be supervised by its under the chairmanship of the party's secretary Teiser al-Homsi.

The sources stressed that a series of failures the Jordanian Baath party suffered from since 1997 and ended with quitting several of its cadres, had attracted the attention of Baghdad and this obliged the party's national leadership in Baghdad to summon some 11 Jordanian leading Baathist figure to learn from them about incidents inside the Baath Party ranks in Jordan.
