Dar Assabah

Dar Assabah

The Tunisian press, printing, publishing, distribution and advertising society, "Dar Assabah" is a private company with a capital of 1,008,880 TND, long held by the family Cheikhrouhou. In 2009, Sakhr El Materi, Chairman of the Princesse Holding Group, acquired 70% shares of Dar Assabah. Princesse Holding held also other media such as Radio Zitouna FM (launched by them in 2007). Dar Assabah spoke openly in favor of Ben Ali (eg in 2009). Sakhr El Materi's assets were seized by the state after the revolution and Al Karama Holding (former Princesse Holding) is now under the control of the State (see Decree-Law No. 2011-13 of 14 March 2011, on confiscation of assets and movable and immovable property). Dar Assabah also used to publish the weekly Saba Al Khair before the revolution.
