Al-Akhbar

A while back, I wrote about Ibrahim Al-Amine, who used to work in Assafir, and the pressures he faced during those days. He went off to open another newspaper, and was joined by Joseph Samaha, etc. Anyway, Al-Akhbar can be accessed here for those of you who haven't read it yet (it's been out for around a week). Of course, as most of the other agencies around, it has its own set of financers. However, due to its unique voice, it is a must read, even if you do not agree with its perspective.

The main reason for this post, however, is not Al-Akhbar per se, but rather Samaha's latest editorial. Read it here.
