Salomon Benaioun

Salomon Benaïoun (Arabic: سليمان بن حيّون Sulaymān bin Ḥayyūn,[1] Hebrew: שלמה בן חיון Solomon Ben Hayun; 1867-1921)[2] was a Moroccan Jewish printer and journalist born in Oran in Algeria,[3] whose family originally hailed from Tetouan.

[4] He moved to Tangier at the invitation of Haïm Benchimol (1834–1915), an important businessman and collaborator with the French.

[2] He started the newspapers Kol Israel (1891),[6] Mébasser Tov (1894-1895), and Moghrabi (1904),[3] though these periodicals were short-lived.

[7] Benaïoun also founded el Horria / La Liberté (1915-1922), which covered Jewish interests in Morocco in two different editions: one in Judeo-Arabic and one in French.

[7][8] He also owned Maṭbaʻat Sulaymān bin Ḥayyūn.
