The organization advocates for comprehensive political, social, and economic reforms to achieve peaceful change without resorting to violence or bloodshed.

Resignation from Prime Ministry of Jordan

edit

Al Khuzai is notable for being the first Jordanian official to publicly resign from his position at the Prime Ministry of Jordan.

In his resignation speech in 2004, he declared his complete disassociation from the Jordanian regime and called for the establishment of a new Jordan with a democratic, non-monarchical system. This step was unprecedented for any government employee in Jordan.

His resignation letter was addressed to then-former Jordanian Prime Minister Abdullah Ensour and widely published, causing a stir both within the government and among the public in Jordan due to its allegations of political corruption.

Following his resignation, Yazeed Al Khuzai faced pursuit by Jordanian authorities, who sought to silence his voice and opinions on public matters through security, economic, and social pressures.

After his resignation, Al Khuzai was subjected to pursuit by Jordanian authorities, which led him to seek asylum in the United States.
