[edit] History
After the fall of Algeria's one-party system in 1988, which had until then tightly controlled the press a group of young journalist issued the first edition on 1 November 1990.
[edit] Political views and controversies
The paper is independent and has no party affiliation. The paper's critical reporting has resulted in numerous run-ins with the Algerian government, which on a couple of occasions has sent reporters and editors to jail.[2] El Khabar and its staff was also threatened and attacked by Islamist insurgents during Algeria's long and vicious civil war, which began in 1992.
