History and profile

Al Alam was founded in September 1946.[1][2] The paper, based in Rabat,[3] is the organ of the nationalist Istiqlal party.[4][5][6] The party also publishes L'Opinion.[4]

During the mid-1970s the paper was frequently banned by the Moroccan authorities together with its sister publication, L'Opinon, and Al Muharrir, another oppositional paper.[7]

The 2001 circulation of Al Alam was 100,000 copies, making it the second largest daily in the country.[8] It was 18,000 copies in 2003.[5]
