Internet refuge for supporters of Laurent Gbagbo?

Screenshot of tweets posted to the official account of Ivorian President Laurent Gbagbo to leaving the announcement of his defeat, 01/12. Capture écranDepuis, the Web is a communication tool to pro-Gbagbo.
On their campaign sites or their blogs, social networks Twitter, MySpace, Facebook or Viadeo, but also on the platforms Dailymotion or YouTube videos, they pound one message their candidate won the election that the opposed to Alassane Ouattara. And foreign countries, led by France, trying to make believe the opposite because it serves their interests.
Screenshot of the site of the "volunteer communicators" Ivory Coast, Laurent Gbagbo's supporters. Capture écranGBAGBO HAD THE WEB ÉLECTIONLa a priority for his strong position of the supporters of the incumbent president on the web is anything but random: Laurent Gbagbo had made the Web a priority of his campaign.
The magazine Jeune Afriquele noted in October, "recognizes the growing importance of the Web and the blogosphere," Laurent Gbagbo "does not skimp on resources" site dedicated multimedia campaign with WebTV, many support sites, accounts on most major social networks, blogs network supporters ...
"At campaign headquarters, located in the town of Cocody, a team of ten people daily on the Internet is activated," noted the magazine. The Ivorian million users, mostly young people, but also the diaspora abroad, were the first targets of the cyber importance rarely achieved on the African continent.
It should also be noted that Laurent Gbagbo appealed to the French group Euro-RSCG, whose boss, Stephane Fouks, was one of his political advisers. The camp Gbagbo had invested early and heavily on Web with a dozen sites in its favor. At the heart of this device, "communicators citizen volunteers for the plebiscite of Laurent Gbagbo," activists from the worlds of media and communication, recruited from 2009 to sing the praises of the president.
Their site, "At the heart of voters," continues, since the proclamation of the victory of Alassane Ouattara, shouting to the international deception. "The international community is losing ground in Côte d'Ivoire. His evil will twist the neck to the Ivorian institutions to impose a straw man to the people of Côte d'Ivoire come up against fierce resistance from the Ivorians proud desperate to defend their sovereignty, "can you read.
This business pays : The Facebook page of Laurent Gbagbo, which incorporates articles and videos from media favorable to the outgoing president, is strong over 20,000 "fans", while that of Alassane Ouattara has only 9000. On the one of the sites pro-Gbagbo, France is accused of trying to assassinate the president.
écranLA Capture THEORY OF A CONSPIRACY OF ÉTRANGERBien organized supporters of outgoing President avail themselves of all the tricks of webactivisme to make their voices heard , using for example video for "decryption", like this, accusing the UN mission in Côte d'Ivoire (UNOCI) to "set fire to the powder." It also seeks to denigrate the opponent, described by example on this blog about "crazy dangerous and totally enlightened." The views in favor of the incumbent, like the UMP deputy Didier Julia on a local radio Kernews, went totally unnoticed in France, are also relayed heavily on the support sites.
Another line of campaign: the conspiracy from abroad. The official website of Laurent Gbagbo and puts the "a", Wednesday, December 29, an article from a newspaper in his favor, which has a "secret document of the French soldiers" intended to "kill Gbagbo," and accuses the ONUCI of willfully trying to "inflame Abidjian.
Other quasi-official site of the outgoing president, Lgconnect. Net involves, in an article, the governance of many world leaders had called Gbagbo to recognize his defeat, including Nicolas Sarkozy at the forefront. France is also accused, on the site Gbagbolaurent. Net to implement a "strategy of chaos" in the country.
Charges on repeated occasions and at all sites supporters of outgoing President. Some supporters of Gbagbo go further. Ivory Vox blog and evokes the "death threats" issued by Ouattara's supporters against those who would go to work despite the strike call, and accuses the pro-Ouattara from "engaging in acts of terrorism." Samuel LaurentOuattara less present on InternetLe elected president Alassane Ouattara is not absent from the Web.
He too had put resources into this medium for his campaign, with an official site, Adosolutions ("Ado" is the nickname of Mr. Ouattara), with its Web TV and a web radio. The president-elect also has his Facebook page, strong 9000 "fans". But the means are not the same as those of his opponent, whose online presence is more important.
This does not prevent the pro-Ouattara support their president on their blogs, like this, or this site's campaign supporters. Even put forward the candidate's official site, the fact that his campaign was heavily loaded with young Ivorians, who hold the upper hand by giving a hard time at Euro RSCG, French media group, recognized worldwide.
