Al Ayam was founded by Mahjoub Mohamed Salih in 1958. [2] Twice closed by the Sudanese government during the 1960s, it became a product of it in 1970. [2] Salih did not publish it again until 1986. [2] It was again closed from 1989 to 2000. [2] In 2004, it was again closed, primarily for its reporting on the crisis in Darfur.
