visite guidée pour les médias nationaux
Overview of the 7th Armored Brigade Visit
On Wednesday, the 7th Armored Brigade "Chahid Benhadj Messaoud" in Teleghma, Mila—operating under the 5th Military Region—hosted representatives from various national public and private media outlets for a guided tour of its facilities.
Purpose of the Visit
During the event, Major General, the commanding officer of the brigade, emphasized that this visit aligns with the higher command’s strategy for the National People’s Army (ANP), which focuses on enhancing communication with the public. The initiative aims to inform citizens about recent developments, particularly concerning the modernization and advancement of Algeria’s defense system. This is considered crucial for bolstering national sovereignty in a complex geopolitical climate that necessitates a strong domestic front.
The general stated that effective communication is vital to the state’s strategy for defending national interests against various disinformation campaigns, particularly those propagated via social media and biased information channels.
Algeria’s International Presence and Media Responsibility
The general highlighted Algeria’s strong stance on the international stage, emphasizing its commitment to the principle of non-interference in the internal affairs of other states, advocacy for international legitimacy, and support for peaceful resolutions to crises. These principles have made Algeria a target for attempts to undermine its unity and foster division.
He also stressed the critical role of professional media in disseminating accurate information, noting that the ANP draws its strength from the populace. This connection is further reinforced by the official recognition of February 22 as a national day dedicated to solidarity between the people and their military, as declared by President Abdelmadjid Tebboune, who serves as the supreme commander of the armed forces and the Minister of National Defense.
Tour Activities
Following an informative presentation about the brigade and its units, media representatives were shown a documentary showcasing the daily lives of ANP forces, their activities, and combat preparations. The content aimed to illustrate the high readiness of troops to undertake various missions.
Attendees also received explanations about specific weapons systems and training methodologies employed to prepare soldiers effectively for their roles.
Conclusion
The visit to the 7th Armored Brigade represents a significant step in fostering transparency and collaboration between the military and media. It underlines the importance of accurate information dissemination and the role of the military in safeguarding Algeria’s sovereignty. As global dynamics continue to evolve, such initiatives are essential for strengthening national unity and resilience against external challenges.
