Al-Mukafih (meaning 'The Fighter' in English) was an Arabic-language communist weekly newspaper published from Casablanca, Morocco.
[1][2][3] Ali Yata was the head of Al Mukafih which was the organ of the Moroccan Communist Party.
[7] On 17 June 1961 the weekly was banned in Iraq due to its alleged attacks on the policies of the country.
The newspaper was finally banned on 31 October 1964[6] (on the grounds that the Moroccan Communist Party itself was non-existent).
In March 1965 a new (supposedly independent) weekly newspaper was launched, al-Kifah al-Watani with Ali Yata as its editor.
