The Iraqi Media Network (IMN) celebrated on Saturday, the twenty-first anniversary of the founding and launch of Al-Sabah newspaper.
 
The head of the Iraqi Media Network, Karim Hammadi, said during the annual celebration of the anniversary of the founding of Al-Sabah, which was attended by the Iraqi News Agency (INA), that “this newspaper took risks and difficulties, and included many creative people,” pointing out that “the founding celebration is the least that can be offered for the newspaper and its employees.

He added, "The newspaper maintained its position as the first in Iraq, and despite all the fluctuations and even with the decline in print journalism among recipients, Al-Sabah newspaper maintained an acceptable level of follow-up."

The head of the network expressed his “thanks and appreciation to all the employees of the newspaper,” stressing his “support for the newspaper and its employees in order to continue to advance the work and performance.”

In turn, Al-Sabah's editor-in-chief, Ahmed Abdel Hussein, told the Iraqi News Agency (INA), "Al-Sabah newspaper was founded to bring about Iraq's transition from the dictatorial era to the era of freedom."

Abdel Hussein added, "The most prominent source of freedom is freedom of expression and freedom of the press. Al-Sabah newspaper was our address for freedom of expression and the address of the Iraqi press in a free Iraq."
 
Today and the past two days, Al-Sabah newspaper received a number of congratulatory telegrams, blessings, and flower bouquets on the twenty-first anniversary of its founding and launch.
 
Al-Sabah newspaper, one of the directorates of the Iraqi Media Network, was established in 2003, after the fall of the former regime and the beginning of a new era, to keep pace with the events of the new Iraq and to touch the needs and demands of the people and the voices of its people.
