Morocco: Saudian owner for a major newspaper?

Posted by Bertrand Pecquerie on February 25, 2004 at 6:26 PM

The ownership of Le Matin du Sahara, the newspaper which is loyal to the monarchy, is on the move. According to Le Monde, France, Othman Al-Oumeir, former editor of Chark Al-Awsat - the Saudi newspaper printed in London - will take the control of Le Matin, even if foreigners cannot own more than 50% of the capital of a Moroccan newspaper. Le Matin du Sahara is the oldest French-speaking newspaper in the kingdom and sells 70,000 copies a day, a very good figure in Morocco.
