[59898] Online storm following Abdulrahman Abumalih's announcement of leaving 'Thmanyah' company

Storm surrounding the departure of Abdulrahman Abumalih

On May 14, 2026, the announcement by Abdulrahman Abumalih regarding his departure from the company "Thmanyah" sparked a wave of reactions and speculation on social media. User mim99h, who gained broad exposure on the topic, expressed sorrow over the move and wondered how a founder who builds a company from scratch reaches a state where he "loses the ability to decide" or is forced to leave.

Disagreements regarding economic motives

The discourse surrounding the departure focuses on the question of economic feasibility versus the sentimental value of the company. While some users see the step as a painful loss, others present a more pragmatic approach. User mim99h claimed in an additional post that reports on the deal's value are "misinformation," and noted that it involves the sale of 25% of the shares only, while adding that Abumalih received a "huge sum" that will allow him to enjoy passive income without continuing to operate the company.

On the other hand, user Rahman_musica expressed criticism of the attempt to reduce the matter to money alone, and argued that it is a "deep frustration" of a founder who feels forced to abandon a creation that has grown stronger day by day. He estimated that despite the financial compensation (estimated by him at 200 to 400 million), the future value of the shares might be much higher.

The question of "coercion" versus consent

Within the discussion, claims also arose regarding Abumalih's free will. While some users described it as a forced departure, user my_zamalek71666 went against this narrative by arguing that Abumalih clarified his reasons in a post of his own, and added that as an owner of 25% of the company, he still retains influence and this is not a total separation as some critics present.
