Timeline

1914

Mustafa Amin (مصطفى أمين; 21 February 1914 – 13 April 1997) was an Egyptian columnist and journalist who enjoyed a great deal of popularity in the Arab world.

Known for his liberal perspective, Mustafa Amin and his twin Brother Ali Amin are regarded as the fathers of modern Arab journalism.

Mustafa Amin and his twin Brother Ali Amin were born in Cairo, where their father was a lawyer.

1922

They spent their childhood at the house of their great-uncle Saad Zaghloul, a prominent lawyer and politician, who founded the liberal nationalist Wafd Party (Delegation Party), and served as Prime Minister of Egypt in 1922.

Amin was educated at the American University in Cairo and at Georgetown University in Washington, D.C.

1928

Mustafa Amin made magazines for his family, neighbours, and schools since early childhood, and began reporting for the Cairo newspapers and magazines in 1928.

1934

He had a column in the weekly Akher Saa ("Last Hour") magazine by the time of graduation from the AUC in 1934.

1938

After his graduation from Georgetown in 1938, Amin served as editor-in-chief of Akher Saa for a year before moving to Al-Ahram ("The Pyramids"), the oldest and most prestigious Egyptian daily newspaper.

1939

As an advocate of Western liberalism, free enterprise and a free press, Amin was first jailed in 1939, after criticizing King Farouk, and was also jailed briefly twice in the early 1950s by Nasser.

1940

During the 1940s, Amin served as a reporter and columnist, but in 1944 left his post as editor of El-Ethnin W El-Donya ("Monday And The World"), when he and his Brother Ali founded the weekly newspaper Akhbar el-Yom ("News Today").

1951

Within two years, they took over Akher Saa, and in 1951 founded two more weekly papers: Akher Lahza ("Last Trice") and Al-Guil ("The Generation").

1952

Finally in 1952 they launched a daily newspaper Al Akhbar ("The News").

1960

Amin and his brother were producing the five best selling news publications in Egypt prior to the nationalization of the Egyptian press by Nasser in 1960.

1965

However, in 1965 as Egypt developed closer relations with the Soviet Union, Amin was found to be in contact with American secret agent Bruce Odell, as documented by American ambassador Lucius D. Battle.

Amin was arrested by Egyptian authorities and accused of treason.

1974

After a secret trial, he was imprisoned, tortured, and kept in solitary confinement for the next nine years, before eventually being exonerated and released in 1974 by Anwar Sadat.

Mustafa Amin then returned to journalism, serving as editor of Akhbar Elyom ("News Today").

1976

After the death of his Brother Ali in 1976, Amin concentrated more on the syndicated daily column Fekra ("Idea"), which had been started by Ali in 1952.

In addition to his journalism, Mustafa Amin published autobiographical works, several novels, and also wrote film screenplays.
