First economic newspaper published in Mosul
- Text size
NINEWA - The first edition of "al-Madina al-Iqtesadiya" newspaper was published on Monday as a first economic newspaper in the city of Mosul.
"The edition (in the name of god) from the newspaper was published today as the first newspaper concerned in economic and trade affairs in the city of Mosul," Emad al-Din al-Amin, the editor-in-chief, told Aswat al-Iraq - Voices of Iraq - (VOI).
"The Iraqi market witnessed construction, economic and trade activities," he added, explaining that the matter encouraged us to publish a specialist newspaper to cover such activities.
"The paper will be published on a weekly basis and will be financed through advertises and press services on its papers," he said.
Mosul, the capital city of Ninewa, lies 405 km north of Baghdad.
The original city of Mosul stands on the west bank of the Tigris River, opposite the ancient biblical city of Nineveh on the east bank, but the metropolitan area has now grown to encompass substantial areas on both banks, with five bridges linking the two sides.
Despite having an amount of Kurdish population, it does not form part of the area controlled by the Kurdistan Regional Government (KRG).
There are different communities in Mosul like Christians, Shiites and Kurds along with a Sunni majority.
The fabric Muslin, long manufactured here, is named for this city. Another historically important product of the area is Mosul marble.
The city is also a historic center for the Nestorian Christianity of the Assyrians, containing the tombs of several Old Testament prophets such as Jonah, Yunus in Arabic, and Nahum.
