Libyan television, communication weapon of power Gaddafi

The offensive of the international coalition is not limited to land and air offensives. She also plays in terms of communication. Gaddafi side, propaganda is a war machine. The Guide of the Libyan revolution promises to his supporters the victory over the coalition. The appearance of the leader on national television, Tuesday, March 22, the first since the offensive began, says the same thing: "We are not going to give", "eventually we will win." The coalition, it is compared to "a bunch of fascists." To persuade the enemy is overseas, state television Al-Jamahiriya is an essential tool.

On 23 March, the newscaster even encourages, Kalashnikov in hand, the Libyans to take up arms. Television broadcasts in the loop of images of events pro-Qaddafi, and resorts to misinformation about the progress of military forces abroad: March 19, the official media announced that a French plane was shot down by air defense in the Tripoli area.

A rumor quickly denied by the staff of the French army. The accusations of massacres of civilians by coalition raids comeback in the communication campaign Jamahiriya. Tripoli blames the Western forces have killed dozens of civilians since the early raids, March 19. Thursday, March 24, these are journalists who are directly taken to a hospital in Tripoli to see the bodies of eighteen soldiers and civilians killed, according to the Libyan air strikes in the West.
