Libyan Jamahiriya Broadcasting Corporation Libyan Pro-Qadhafi News Website


A very thin website from the Libyan Jamahiriya Broadcasting Corporation. Visit to see what the pro-Qadhafi press in Libya is pushing – obviously under close supervision from the Libyan government. I believe that it is always good to get views from both sides in a conflict, but I can't say that the Qadhafi rhetoric has ever made much sense to any outsiders.

Even the best translators can't make 'the permanent leader of the revolution' sound coherent, logical or completely sane. In comparison with Qadhafi, Saddam Hussein was pretty switched on…

Anyway, to see a few gems of information or misinformation from the Jamahiriya (which means 'State of the Masses' or 'People's Republic' depending how it is said or translated), visit http://en.ljbc.net

You will probably be disappointed (few of the links work, the pages are scrappy, it's poorly laid out), but at least you can say you went there…. I gave it 3 stars because I think it's worth a quick look – not because it's good!

Steffi B. war is never a good thing. i hope it ends soon. maybe we just needed a new enemy since hussein is gone and osama can't be found?

K D. I agree with you, Steffi. Governments (and, I guess people) seem to like having a specific enemy.It means tabloid media can whip up targeted hate, and helps bring unity of a sort to a country. It is, of course, not always right. I'd guess that hatred of Hitler in the Second World War was justified - but the Germans had 20 years of media and government manipulation to make them see Jews as enemies. In modern times it's right to ask if we are in turn being manipulated by government and media...
