Invited on Saturday March 11, to Mosaic FM, in the program “Noujoum” by Hédi Zaim, our friend Hatem Ben Amara tells how he had been fired on the orders of Carthage while he was on the air … for a game competition passed to the newspapers Tunis-Hebdo and Al Akhbar …
Hatem Ben Amara’s relationship with Tunis-Hebdo has always been imbued with love, a love that had earned him troubles with Ben Ali’s diet.
Let us listen to his testimony. “The facts went back to the 1990s. At the time,” said the host at the Mosaic microphone, I called on newspaper competitions for a game baptized “Lil Azwaj Fakat” (for the bride and groom only).
Each time, I chose a press organ, which took charge of the gifts to offer to the winners of the competition.
This competition was very popular with readers and aroused the enthusiasm of the bride and groom related to the gifts offered, among other televisions, refrigerators, etc.
Until the day this competition had passed through the Al Akhbar and Tunis-Hebdo newspapers. At the time, I did not know that the boss of these two newspapers, M’hammed Ben Youssef, was not in the smell of holiness with Ben Ali’s diet.
In the midst of a program and as I thanked the owner of the two newspapers for his contribution, the order had come from Carthage for cutting the antenna and turning my live ”.
At that time, the media system of Abdelwaheb Abadallah had its propagandists, those who did not align with it were not immune to reprisals of the regime.
