Al-Malayin
Al-Malayin (, 'The Millions') was a weekly newspaper published from Cairo, Egypt. History and profile. "Al-Malayin" was published between May and December 1951. It was unofficially linked to the communist Democratic Movement for National Liberation (HADITU). The launching of "al-Malayin" followed the closure of the pro-HADITU weekly "al-Bashir" in December 1950. "Al-Bashir" and "al-Malayin" gained importance in the national movement in Egypt at the time. Following the ban on "al-Bashir", "al-Malayin" was a key channel for legal propaganda of the party. The owner and editor-in-chief of "al-Malayin  was Ahmad Sadiq Azzam. Prominent contributors to the newspaper included Yusuf Hilmu, Abd al-Murni as-Said, Rashid al-Barawi, Enayet al-Halim and Ibrahim Abd al-Halim. Al-Malayin" advocated armed struggle against British rule in Egypt, and appealed to a united front of the Muslim Brotherhood, the Socialist Party, nationalists, Wafdist, workers and student movements to rally against Anglo-American imperialism. "Al-Malayin" was the first Egyptian communist newspaper which dedicated space for issues such as culture and sports. Its issues carried articles about the labourers, peasantry, women, art, theatre, literature and international issues. The newspaper dedicated relatively  little attention to the Arab-Israeli conflict. In its comments to developments following the establishment of a Jewish state in Palestine, "al-Malayin" voiced criticism against treatments of the Jewish communities by governments in the Arab world. "Al-Malayin" was closed down by the Egyptian government in December 1951.
