Guided Search: News, Jordanian

At a recent town hall to discuss Jordan's role in the crisis in Syria, WHYY hosted several panelists with insight into the country's rising population of refugees and resistance to extremism. 

When I spoke with photojournalist/documentary filmmaker George Azar for this article, he was in Turkey observing the situation of Syria's refugees to the country. "It is pretty sobering," he said of the scene.

I first met George while living in Amman, Jordan in 2011. A contact in Washington D.C. who worked with George on a few stories for Al Jazeera English connected us. George, who is Lebanese-American, had a home in Salt, Jordan, a town outside the capital.
