Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Use dmy dates Шаблон:Infobox newspaper Al Qafilah (Шаблон:Lang-ar) was a weekly newspaper published in Manama, Bahrain, between 1952 and 1956.[1][2]
History and profile
Al Qafilah was founded by progressive Arab nationalists, including Ali Sayyar,[3] one of the members of the High Executive Committee (HEC; al-Hay'a al-Tanfidhiyya al-Uliya) which was a cross-sectarian nationalist political movement.[4][5] He was also the editor of the paper and its successor, Al Watan.[6] The secretary of the HEC, Abdul Rahman Al Bakir, was one of the editorial members of Al Qafilah.[7]
The paper was not subject to any censorship until 3 October 1953 when it featured articles on the recent riots in the country.[7] It praised the abolition of the monarchy in Egypt in 1952 and supported the Iranian Prime Minister Mohammad Mosaddegh when he was overthrown in the 1953 Iranian coup d'état.[7] The paper's constant target was the Bahrain Petroleum Company (BAPCO) which was run by foreigners.[7] Together with the nationalist magazine Sawt al-Bahrain the company was labelled as Tyrannical BAPCO, a small state, and the colonialist company.[7] The publication of an advertisement of the Egyptian musical Khadd al Jami in June 1953 caused controversy due to its appearance in Ramadan.[1]
Following the riots at the end of 1954 the newspaper published its last issue on 26 November and was closed by the Bahraini authorities in December 1954.[7] The same year the monthly magazine Sawt al-Bahrain was also closed, and the advisor of the king, Charles Belgrave, reported the reason for these closures as their "offensive remarks about neighbouring friendly states."[8]
From 1955 the paper was published under title Al Watan for one year and ceased publication in 1956.[7][9]
Al Qafilah managed to sold four thousand and five thousand copies during its lifetime.[1]
