Al-Mayadeen analysts confirm that the late Talal Salman established a journalism school that pursues awareness and clarity and brings together all the spectrums of Lebanon and the Arab world, and they point out that “his legacy is safe.”

The late Talal Salman

When the entire Arab world lacks a pen, we are in front of a golden pen that does not know rust. A pen could not stand the “House of the Sun”, his hometown of Baalbekia, so he walked among the snares of Lebanon and its peculiarities and reserved his place on the benches of the nation’s constants and its central cause.

In Lebanon, he renounced sectarianism and division, and he wrote in his newspaper Said Akl despite the storm of criticism against him.

He was in pain from everything ugly, from Lebanon to the entire Arab world, and ugliness here is not relative. He was in pain, but he was resisting. It is actually a pen of resistance in a golden phase of resistance.

Since the publication of the first issue of Al-Safir newspaper, a year after the setback of 1973, the headline was clear: “We are not messengers of news, nor are we chasing after precedent. Rather, we are messengers whose mission is to help the Arab peoples to be aware of their issues and to distinguish their enemy from their friend.”

From here Palestine was the compass, and from here the “As-Safir” was the newspaper of Lebanon in the Arab world, and the newspaper of the Arab world in Lebanon, and from here also the late one was one of the founders of the Arab National Congress and a supporter of Nasserism, without being one of its dervishes, because love for Palestine is absolute and for Arabism as well. But if criticism is absent, care is absent, and the press is distraught.

It is a march completely contrary to the Arab press today, which favors here and fills there, as it is sincere in its love for Palestine as a central cause of the nation, and sincere in its admiration for Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah as a great leader of the Arab nation in its modern history, and sincere in its abhorrence of the deal of the century as the title of the great calamity. To be a supporter of the human being and his issues and not reach all hearts.

And at the heart of the fields sat Talal Salman, the fields that called him with pain, sadness, and sorrow, but with love, pride, and dignity.

“As-Safir”: the inclusive edifice

On the other hand, Qassem asserted that “As-Safir was a teacher and was an edifice, a laboratory in which all ideas converged and clashed under the banner of Talal Salman,” noting that Salman “gathered all writers from all national, nationalist and leftist spectrums of all kinds.”

Likewise, according to the Messenger, he affirmed that the “As-Safir” “was a university for all the Lebanese, in which everyone wrote without exception. It brought together the right and the left, the opposition and the loyalists, and on the other hand, it was Lebanon’s message to the Arab world.”

The late Salman established a generation that embraces Arab causes and the Palestinian cause

Bouzidi said, “A generation of young people learned from Talal Salman’s writings and articles, as well as senior writers who passed by Talal Salman.” He added that thanks to what Salman was writing, a generation of pens emerged writing with an Arab spirit, after the French press was the loudest and most influential.

According to al-Rasul, the late “empowered the youth in As-Safir newspaper, as if he wanted to create a generation of young journalists to guarantee through them the continuity of the ‘As-Safir’ message, and through them to ensure the continuity of ‘As-Safir’ in relation to the Palestinian cause, being the central Arab issue.”

In the end, he stressed that “Salman’s legacy is safe,” because his seeds “grew and sprouted very large projects, ideas, and experiences, some of which may work individually.”
