Al-Rayaam (also transliterated as Al-Rae Al-Aam,[1] Al-Rai Al-Aam,[2] and Al-Ra'y al-Amm[3]) (Arabic: الرأي العام meaning Public Opinion) is the oldest newspaper in Sudan. It was founded on March 15, 1945, by Ismail Al Atabani.[citation needed] As of 2011, it had a daily circulation of about 18,000.[2]

It is an Islamist paper and had strong links to the government of Omar al-Bashir, but also employed columnists who were anti-government.[2]
