1 | Kuwait, the Gulf's Poster Child of Democracy, Strips Opposition Members of Citizenship | Nanaisotra Ny Maha-olompirenena Ireo Mpikambana Ao Amin'ny Fanoherana i Koety |
2 | The Kuwaiti Cabinet revoked the Kuwaiti citizenship of two pro-opposition members and their families on July 21. | Nanaisotra ny maha-olom-pirenena Koesiana ireo mpikambana roa ao amin'ny mpanohitra sy ny fianakavian'izy ireo ny kabinetra Koesiana tamin'ny 21 Jolay. |
3 | This development rings serious alarm bells across the region, as Kuwait is often cited as the most democratic state in the Gulf region. | Mampaneno mafy ny anjomara manerana ny faritra izany toe-draharaha izany, noho i Koety matetika sokajiana ho firenena demaokratika indrindra ao amin'ny faritry ny Helodrano. |
4 | The move follows a threat by the government last week that it will take all necessary procedures against those suspected of trying to “destabilise” the country in the wake of protests which erupted last month demanding the release of Kuwait opposition and former National Assembly member Musallam Albarrak. | Fanapaha-kevitra nilatsaka taorian'ny fandrahonana nataon'ny governemanta tamin'ny herinandro lasa izany fa handray izay fepetra rehetra ilaina hoan'ireo olona ahiahiana miezaka “manakorontana” ny firenena izy taorian'ny fihetsiketsehana nipoaka tamin'ny volana lasa izay mitaky ny famotsorana an'i Musallam Albarrak, mpikambana ao amin'ny mpanohitra ao Koety sady mpikambana taloha tao amin'ny Antenimeram-pirenena. |
5 | He has since been released on bail. | Efa navotsotra izy avy eo noho ny fandoavana onitra. |
6 | The root of this saga goes to events that took place a few months ago, when Albarrak gave an hour long speech at a gathering where he made allegations of rigged elections, coup attempts and government corruption that led to billions of dollars of public money being wasted. | Noho ny hetsika natao volana vitsivitsy lasa no niavian'ity toe-draharaha ity, raha nanao kabary naharitra ora maro nandritra ny famoriam-bahoaka iray i Albarrak izay nilazany ny fisian'ny hoso-pifidianana, ny fikasana hanongam-panjakana sy ny kolikolin'ny governemanta izay nitarika fandaniana volam-bahoaka amina miliara dolara. |
7 | Documents that support his claims were leaked in what some called “Kuwaitgate”. | Tafaporitsaka tamin'ilay nantsoin'ny sasany hoe “Kuwaitgate” ireo antonta-taratasy porofon'ny zavatra nolazainy. |
8 | Among the documents were details of money transfers to a few judges, which led to a lawsuit being lodged against Albarrak for insulting the judiciary. | Anisany hita tao anatin'ireo antonta-taratasy ny antsipirihan'ny famindram-bola tamina mpitsara vitsivitsy, izay nitarika faitoriana an'i Albarrak ho manevateva fitsarana. |

(Details in this AlRai newspaper article in Arabic) | Nilaza ny governemanta tamin'ny herinandro lasa fa hamely amin'ny “totohondry vy” izy ireo mba hiarovana ny “voninahim-pirenena” ary naniraka ny minisiteran'ny atitany mba handray izay fepetra rehetra ilaina hanatanterahana ny baikon'ny mpanjaka (amin'ny teny Arabo ny antsipirihan'izany tao amin'ny lahatsoratra an-gazety Alrai ) |

19 | His newspaper was ordered to temporarily shut down twice this year by a court for defying a prosecutor-ordered media blackout about an investigation into claims of the attempted coup that Albarak spoke about in one of his speeches. | Indroa nodidian'ny fitsarana nakatona vonjimaika ny gazetiny tamin'ity taona ity noho ny fihantsiana ny fandraràna nataon'ny mpampanoa lalàna tamin'ny gazety tsy hiresaka ny fanadihadiana tamin'ny filazana nataon'i Albarak nandritra ny kabariny indray mandeha amin'ny fisian'ny fikasana hanongam-panjakana. |
