Scuffles erupted Friday between pro- and anti-government demonstrators in the Jordanian capital of Amman.

During a demonstration in downtown Amman following the Friday prayers, a few hundred Jordanians, including leftists, Islamists and youth representatives, took to the streets, demanding more political reforms and lower prices of food items and several commodities.

According to eye witnesses, as the demonstrators marched through the streets, pro-government demonstrators started clashing with them, and people from both sides suffered injuries during the clashes.

Over the past seven weeks, Jordanians have taken to the streets, demanding genuine political and socio-economic reforms.
