 El Horria inMoroccan Arabic withHebrew script. |
El Horria (Judeo-Moroccan Arabic: אלחוררייא,transl. "Freedom") orLa Liberté was a Judeo-Moroccan newspaper published inTangier bySalomon Benaioun in two versions: one inJudeo-Moroccan Arabic and one inFrench.[1][2][3][4][5]
The Arabic version,El Horria, was published first published in 1914.[6] The first issue of the French version,La Liberté, was published June 18, 1915, with the 51st issue ofEl Horria.[6]
The newspaper had financial difficulties, and was sustained through a combination of personal investments from Benaioun, subscription fees, advertising revenue, and clandestine sponsorship from the French government, which saw the newspaper's pro-French editorial line as a useful tool of propaganda.[6] The colonial government paid 1,600 francs annually until 1918, after which it paid 2,000 francs annually until 1924 when theStatute of Tangier rendered the propaganda unnecessary.[6]
It was scanned and digitized in theHistorical Jewish Press project.[7]
