About Us

In 1965, Yousef Al-Rafaei, owner of Al-Seyassah weekly magazine, offered Ahmed Al-Jarallah the position of Editor-in-Chief. Al-Rafaei, then serving as Kuwait's Minister of State for Cabinet Affairs and head of the Municipality, saw potential in Al-Jarallah's journalism prowess. Accepting the offer, Al-Jarallah swiftly transformed Al-Seyassah into a renowned publication through his professionalism and influential connections with local and Arab leaders.

However, tensions arose between Al-Jarallah and Minister Al-Rafaei, leading to their eventual separation. Faced with the choice of either leaving the magazine or purchasing it, Al-Jarallah, committed to journalism, opted for the latter. By the end of 1967, he applied to convert Al-Seyassah from a weekly to a daily newspaper, challenging the monopoly held by 'Al-Rai Al-Am' at the time.

In April 1968, the inaugural edition of the daily Al-Seyassah newspaper, albeit with limited resources, hit the stands under Al-Jarallah's leadership. Despite its humble beginnings, Al-Jarallah's dedication propelled the newspaper to prominence, earning it a solid reputation both regionally and internationally.
