''Al-Qaidah'' ((アラビア語:القاعدة), The Base) was a newspaper published in Iraq. It was an organ of the Iraqi Communist Party.〔 It was printed clandestinely for thirteen years, albeit with interruptions.〔 The first issue of ''al-Qaidah'' came out in January 1943. ''Al-Qaidah'' was founded in the midst of a split in the party.〔 It was set up by Yusuf Salman Yusuf (Fahd)'s three supporters in the party Central Committee: Daud as-Sayegh, Hussain Muhammad ash-Shabibi and Zaki Muhammad Basim. The newspaper sought to compete with ''ash-Shararah'' ('The Spark') for the position as the party organ. Effectively the different factions were known by the names of their publications. As-Sayegh served as editor of ''al-Qaidah'' before being expelled from the party. ''Al-Qaidah'' was banned by the government, and being caught with an issue of the newspaper could result in a prison sentence. By 1947 ''al-Qaidah'' had a circulation of around 3,000. It was probably one of the most widely-read newspapers in the country at the time. It was primarily read in Baghdad, the Shiite south and the Kurdish north. During 1954–55, seventeen issues of ''al-Qaidah'' were published. In spite of being an illegal underground publication, its issues had an average circulation of around 5,400. In 1955 a workers newspaper, ''Ittihad ul-Amal'' was founded after which ''al-Qaidah'' began focusing more on agrarian issues. ''Al-Qaidah'' was shut down as the party reconciled with the ''Rayat ash-Shaghilah'' ('Toilers Banner') group, and ''Ittihad ash-Sha'ab'' ('People's Union') was founded as the new party organ.〔〔 The last issue was published on June 19, 1956. ==References== 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Al-Qaidah (newspaper)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
