Most of these productions have been serialized in the Tunisian press since the eighties of the last century, including what was printed in the world and people’s work, such as Bab Al-Uloj, Rahmana and Al-Karousa, due to the suspenseful style used by Ben Amo and his good use of facts, events and historical figures that people know. Our writer has turned many of his works into radio series, the last of which is “Moorish” which is currently broadcast on the national radio. Hassanein Benammo bears another creative characteristic that is almost unknown to the public, which is that of a painter.
