1 | Arab World: Technology in the Time of Revolution | Tontolo Arabo: Ireo Teknolojia Niasa Nandritra Ny Fotoanan'ny Revolisiona |
2 | The Arab uprisings have created a debate about the role played by social media and mobile technology in bringing change. | Efa niteraka adihevitra ny fanovana nentin'ny fifampitam-baovaon'olo-tsotra sy ny teknolojian'ny finday teo amin'ny fitroarana Arabo. |
3 | Whatever conclusion you come to on that subject, activists certainly make use of a wide range of new technologies, and we'll take a look at some of them in this post. | Na inona na inona anefa ny fehin-kevitra avy aminao, azo heverina tokoa fa nampiasa ireo taranjan-teknolojia vaovao ireo ny mpikatroka ary hitarataratra ny sasantsasany amin'izy ireny isika amin'ity lahatsoratra ity. |
4 | Reporting your arrest Since the beginning of the Arab uprisings many bloggers and activists have been arrested. | Mitatitra ny fisamborana anao Maro ny bilogera sy mpikatroka no nosamborina hatramin'ny nanombohan'ny fitroarana arabo. |
5 | In Syria, in the last few months alone, Rima Dali, Safana Baqleh, Ali Mahmoud Othman, Razan Ghazzawi were detained. | Ireto avy ny voasambotra tany Syria tao anatin'ny volana vitsy dia vitsy fotsiny: Rima Dali, Safana Baqleh, Ali Mahmoud Othman, Razan Ghazzawi. |
6 | In Egypt Maikel Nabil Sanad, Alaa Abd El Fattah and Amr Gharbeya were just a few of those arrested. | Ny sombiny amin'ireo nosamborina tany Ejipta ry Maikel Nabil Sanad, Alaa Abd El Fattah ary Amr Gharbeya. |
7 | That's without mentioning countries such as Tunisia and Bahrain, as well as the cases where a bloggers or activists were denied entry to Egypt and held for investigation in Cairo airport. | Efa tsy lazaina intsony ireo avy any amin'ny firenena tahaka an'i Tonizia sy Bahrain, sy ireo bilaogera na mpikatroka tsy navela hiditra tany Ejipta sy notazonina hatao fanadihadiana tao amin'ny seranam-piaramanidin'i Ejipta. |
8 | While some of these bloggers and activists were later released, at the time of their arrest many didn't have time to tell their lawyers and family members what was happening. | Noafahana ny sasantsasany amin'ny bilaogera sy ny mpikatroka taoriana, tsy nanampotoana nilazana izay nitranga tamin'ny mpisolovava sy ny fianakaviana anefa ry zareo tamin'ny fotoana nisamborana azy. |
9 | And this is where technology can play a role. | Ka eo no manana anjara toerana ny teknolojia. |
10 | A while ago Global Voices Advocacy contributor Ramy Raoof talked about Etmasakt, one such technical solution: | Efa nisy ny fotoana, efa elaela ihany izay, niresaka momba ny Etmasakt, iray amin'ny vahaolana teknika tahaka izany, ny mpandray anjara ao amin'ny Global Voices Advocacy Ramy Raoof: |
11 | @RamyRaoof: Our friend Mohamed Hussien (@7aloli) developed this application http://bit.ly/Etmasakt to alert people when you get arrested. | @RamyRaoof: Our friend Mohamed Hussien (@7aloli) developed this application http://bit.ly/Etmasakt to alert people when you get arrested. |

13 | Etmasakt helps you send short message to multiple numbers (family, lawyer, activists etc.) as well as sending the location where you were arrested. | Nahavita ity fampiharana antsoina hoe http://bit.ly/Etmasakt hanairana olona ity ny namantsika Mohamed Hussien (@7aloli) raha voasambotra ianao. |
14 | Etmasakt is an Arabic word that means “I've been arrested”. | Teny arabo midika hoe “voasambotra aho” io Etmasakt io. |
15 | On his blog Orlando Elkabeer wrote about the application and how it sends an SMS to multiple recipients along with your exact location - grabbed from your phone's GPS - with one click: | Miresaka momba ny fampiharana ao amin'ny bolongana i Orlando Elkabeer sy ny fomba andefasany SMS amin'ny olona maro miaraka amin'ny toerana misy anao indrindra -izay azo amin'ny alalan'ny GPS amin'ny findainao - amin'ny tendry tokana monja: |
16 | The application lets you send an SMS to multiple recipients telling them you got arrested, and sends your exact location to them with just one click. | Ahafahanao mandefa SMS amin'olona maro ny fampiharana milaza ny fisamborana anao ary mandefa ihany koa ny fangitry ny toerana misy anao amin'ny alalan'ny tendry tokana. |
17 | Etmasakt is not the only application of its kind. | Tsy tokanamanantany ny Etmasakt. |
18 | There is also “Byt2ebed 3alia” and “I'm Getting Arrested“; the latter seems to be older with a bigger user base. | Misy ihany koa ny “Byt2ebed 3alia” sy ny “I'm Getting Arrested“; tahaka ny efa antitra ity farany ity ho an'ny mpisera fototra betsabetsaka. |
19 | The existence of these different applications all basically doing the same thing clearly means that there is a need for them. | Midika mazava ny fisian'ireo fampiharana samihafa manao zavatra mitovy ireo fa misy tokoa ny ilàna azy ireny. |
20 | Live video broadcast Nothing is worse than recording an important incident with your video camera, then being detained by security forces who destroy your camera, or at least force you to erase your memory card. | Fandefasana lahatsary mivantana Tsy misy zavatra ratsy tahaka ny mandrakitra toe-javatra lehibe amin'ny alalan'ny fakantsarinao, voatazon'ny polisy izay mamotika ny fakantsarinao, na farafahatsarany manery anao hamafa ny kara-pitehirizanao. |
21 | And this is why Bambuser is very popular tool among activists. | Ary izany no antony mampalaza ny Bambuser eo amin'ny samy mpikatroka. |
22 | The Swedish mobile application lets you shoot videos and upload them instantaneously from your mobile phone; it's like having a video broadcasting station in your pocket. | Azonao atao amin'ny alalan'ity fampiharana Soedoà ity ny maka lahatsary sy ny mampakatra azy avy hatrany amin'ny alalan'ny findainao; tahaka ny hoe manana toby fandefasana lahatsary ao am-paosinao ianao. |
23 | Before being blocked by the Syrian government, Bambuser was used a lot by Syrians. | Be ny Syriana no nampiasa ny Bambuser nialoha ny nanakanan'ny governemanta syriana azy. |
24 | In February the service reported on its own blog that it had been blocked in Syria: | Nilaza moa ny orinasa mpanome ny tolotra tamin'ny Febroary tao amin'ny bilaoginy fa voasakana any Syria: |
25 | Over the past weeks the number of Bambuser broadcasts from Syria has increased, with strong footage showing bombings, victims, destruction and terrible conditions at local field hospitals in Syria. | Niakatra ny fandefasan-tsary tamin'ny alalan'ny Bambuser avy any Syria tao anatin'ny herinandro maromaro, izay ahitana sary (akora) mahery vaika tahaka ny fandarohana baomba, ny tratry ny voina, ny fandravana sy ny toe-draharaha manahirana miseho any Syria. |
26 | Some live footage like that of the destroyed oil pipeline in Homs was used by major TV channels such as CNN, BBC, AlJazeera and SkyNews: | Ampiasain'ny fantsona fampahalalam-baovao an-tsary lehibe tahaka ny CNN, BBC, AlJazeera ary ny SkyNews Ny sasantsasany amin'ireny sary azo ireny tahaka ny fantsona mitondra solika potika tany Homs ohatra: |
27 | We believe this footage was the trigger for the Syrian government to block access to bambuser.com and disable the possibility to broadcast live video with mobile phones on Syrian 3G. | Mihevitra izahay fa ny fisiana akora tahaka ireny no nahatonga ny fitondrana syriana hanakana ny bambuser.com sy nanaisotra ny fahafaha-mampiasa azy handefa lahatsary mandeha mivantana amin'ny alalan'ny finday 3G Syriana. |
28 | In Egypt Tarek Shalaby reported his own arrest via Bambuser, and there were plans for activists to use the service in monitoring the parliamentary elections especially when international observers were not permitted to do so. | Nitantara ny fisamborana azy tamin'ny alalan'ny Bambuser i Tarek Shalaby tany Ejipta, ary nisy ihany koa ny drafitra nomanin'ny mpikatroka hampiasa ity tolotra ity hanaraha-maso ny fifidianana antenimiera indrindra raha tsy avela manao izany ny mpanara-maso iraisampirenena. |
29 | During the first days of the Egyptian revolution the government decided to block Bambuser, amongst other services, before deciding to turning the whole Internet off two days later. | During the first days of the Egyptian revolution Nanapa-kevitra ny hanakana ny Bambuser ny fitondrana Ejisiana nandritra ny andro voalohany nisian'ny revolisiona ejipsiana mialoha ny nanapahana tanteraka ny aterineto iray manontolo roa andro taty aoriana. |
30 | Other tools Nancy Messieh of The Next Web has put together basic mobile apps arsenal for activists. | Fitaovana hafa Nampiarahan'i Nancy Messieh avy ao amin'ny The Next Web avokoa ny fampiharana fototra rehetra ho an'ny mpikatroka. |
31 | Movements.org, which is a non-profit organization dedicated to identifying, connecting, and supporting grassroots digital activists, and advocates for the use of new technologies, has listed dozens of applications that range from Open Source word processing and audio/video editing software to encryption and tunneling software. | Fikambanana iray tsy mitady tombom-barotra nanoka-potoana hamantatra, hampifandray, hanohana ireo mpikatroka nomerika any amin'ny misy azy any ary hisolovava azy amin'ny fampiasana teknolojia vaovao, Movements.org, no nanome ny lisitra fampiharana ampolony miainga avy amin'ny fomba fanaovana Open Source sy ny fanovana rindrambaiko feo/lahatsary ka hatramin'ny rindrambaiko mamadika ny hafatra hiafina sy mitady lalana miafina (“ambanin'ny tany”). |
32 | There are other less useful applications like this one that tries to document the Egyptian revolution by bringing a gallery of photos taken during the revolution onto your mobile phone. | Misy ny fampiharana hafa tsy dia hoe tena ilaina tahaka ity ato ity izay miezaka ny handrakitra tahirin-kevitra ny revolisiona ejipsiana amin'ny alalan'ny fandefasana ny saripika noraisina nandritra ny revolisiona ho any amin'ny findainao. |
33 | The downside of automation Despite the usefulness of the above applications, automation can be a problem. | Ny lafy ratsin'ny fandefasana tsy voizina (automatique) Na dia eo aza ny tena maha-zavadehibe ny fampiharana etsy ambony, indraindray mety hiteraka olana ihany ilay hafatra mandeha ho azy. |
34 | A month ago activist Hossam El Hamalawy received a short message from Mostafa Sheshtawy saying that he got arrested. | Iray volana lasa izay ny mpikatroka Hossam El Hamalawy naharay hafatra fohy avy amin'i Mostafa Sheshtawy nilaza fa voasambotra izy. |
35 | @3arabawy: Guys, I received few mins ago a text message from @msheshtawy saying he's getting arrested. | Vao naharay hafatra avy amin'i @msheshtawy aho ry zareo hoe voasambotra izy. |
36 | I called him, he's not answering. | Niantso aho fa tsy namaly izy. |
37 | People were worried about Mostafa Sheshtawy, and only later was it discovered that the message was sent by mistake: | Niahiahy tamin'izay nanjò an'i Mostafa Sheshtawy ny olona ary taty aoriana vao hitany fa nisy nandefa tsy nahy ilay hafatra: |
38 | @msheshtawy: Am fine people. | Tsy maninona aho ry vahoaka. |
39 | Am not arrested or anything. | Tsy voasambotra na hoe inona. |
40 | My phone wasnt with me. | Tsy niaraka tamiko ny findaiko. |
41 | Am sorry people. | Miala tsiny aho ry zareo |
42 | @msheshtawy: Someone clicked on the application while i was asleep. | Nisy nanindry ny fampiharana tamin'ny fotoana natoriako. |
43 | Silly joke and i will screw whoever did this. | Hanihany mampalahelo ary hofaiziko izay nanao an'iny. |
44 | Am really sorry. | Tena miala tsiny ry zareo. |
45 | Finally, just like activists and citizens, dictators also use new technology. | Farany, mampiasa ny teknolojia vaovao tahaka ny mpikatroka sy ny olona ihany koa ny mpanao didijadona. |
46 | Authoritarian regimes in the Arab world have had plenty of help from American firms when it comes to censorship and spying on pro-democracy protestors. | Nahazo fanohanana sy fanorotoroana avy amin'ny orinasa amerikana ihany koa ny fitondrana manao didijadona any amin'ny tontolo arabo rehefa hanivana sy hitsikilo ny hetsi-panoherana avy amin'ny mpandala ny demokrasia. |
47 | At the end of the day, technology is a double-edged sword; each side uses it for its own purposes. | Tsara ny milaza aty amin'ny farany fa sabatra roa lela ny teknolojia; samy miasa (amin'ny fotoanany manokana) avokoa ny lela andaniny sy ankilany. |
