1 | French Guiana: The Unheard Blackout | Goyana Frantsay: Fitokonambe tsy misy milaza |
2 | For more than a week now, French Guiana has been in turmoil. | Nisafotofoto ny toe-draharaha any amin'ny faritry Goyana Frantsay efa herinandro mahery izay. |
3 | The population is protesting against the skyrocketing price of gas by blocking roads, closing schools, and businesses. | Manohitra ny fiakaran'ny vidin'ny lasantsy amin'ny alalan'ny fametrahana barazy manerana ny lalana, fanakatonana ny sekoly sy orinasa ny mponina amin'izao fotoana izao. |
4 | The cost of gas is currently €1,77 per liter (US$ 2,25), in contrast to the price of oil, which has been going as low as US$ 50,00 per barrel in the past weeks. | Amin'izao fotoana izao dia €1,77 isaky ny litatra ny vidin'ny lasantsy (US$ 2,25), izay mifandaka amin'ny fidinan'ny solika izay tafidina ambanin'ny US$ 50,00 ny iray baril herinandro vitsivitsy lasa izay. |
5 | The French Guianese blogosphere echoes this massive mobilization. | Manome ny akon'izany fihetsiketseham-bahoaka izany ny tontolom-bolongana Goyaney Frantsay. |
6 | In a post on November 28, Le Blog Guyane [fr] explained the economic, political and social interests at stake, which justify this great popular and political rallying. | Tamin'ny 28 Novambra lasa teo no nanazavan'ny Le Blog Guyane [fr] fa efa ambavahoana tokoa ny toe-draharaha ara-toe-karena, politika ary sosialy any an-toerana, ka izay no miteraka izao fihetsiketseham-bahoaka sy fitokonana politika izao. |
7 | First the cost of living is expensive here, but with 1,77 euros per liter of gas, life becomes very hard for some people. | Amin'izao fiainana efa lafo eto izao, mbola 1,77 euros ny (litatry ny) lasantsy hany ka tsy zakan'ny maro intsony izany. |
8 | So the roads, the Rochambeau airport and the discharging of the cargo ships are blocked. | Tonga dia tsy misy mihetsika intsony ny fitaterana, ny fiara, ny fiaramanidina, ny fibatana ny entana miala ny sambo. |
9 | The problem is that some very remote places depend on gas for electricity, for water filtration which means no more drinking water at the beginning of the next week (the river water has been polluted as a consequence of gold washing with mercury) and no more electricity for the community clinic, …” | Ny olana, misy ny toerana saro-dalana no miankina amin'ny lasantsy ny herinaratra, mandeha amin'ny herinaratra koa moa ny fitantavanana ny rano ka tsy hisy intsony koa ny rano azo antoka manomboka amin'ny herinandro (efa voaloton'ny mpitady volamena koa moa ny renirano) ary dia tsy hisy rano jiro ihany koa ny tobim-pahasalamana …” |
10 | He also focuses on the fact that this great general blackout has largely not been covered by international media, although the problem has aroused a rarely-seen-before commitment from the Guyanese population and politicians to act. | Ny tena nifantohany koa dia tsy mba misy fampahalalam-baovao iraisam-pirenena mitatitra ity vaovao ity, nefa dia tsy fahita hatramin'izay ity olana izay nahatonga ny mponina Goyaney sy ny mpanao politika ao aminy handray andraikitra ity. |
11 | Well, there are roadblocks everywhere, schools and shops are closed down, there is no more gas and only the hospital and the police station are still in function…. | Eny ho'aho, feno barazy anie ny tanàna e! tsy misokatra ny sekoly, ny fivarotana, tsy misy intsony ny lasantsy, ny hopitaly sy ny polisy sisa (no misokatra)…. |
12 | It seems that the medias, our dear President Sarkozy and the Overseas Departments Minister Jego are not much interested in French Guiana…” | Fa toa tsy dia mahaliana ny fampahalalam-baovao loatra moa ny eto Goyana, ka tsy mahataitra ny filohantsika, eny fa na dia ny sekreteram-panjakana miandraikitra ny ampitan-dranomasina aza tsy taitra…” |
13 | A post on the blog Dom et Steph en Guyane [fr] highlights the necessity for the population and the authorities to start a great debate on the question of greener energies. | Fa lahatsoratra iray ao amin'ny bolongan'i Dom et Steph en Guyane [fr] no mampivoitra ny tsy maintsy andinihan'ny mponina sy ny mpitondra ny resaka angovo madio kokoa. |
14 | “Let's hope that this situation will trigger a serious debate concerning the alternatives to the use of gas in French Guiana.” | “Enga anie mba hisy ny loa-bary an-dasy lehibe handinihana lalina hampidirana izay hasolo ny fampiasana ny solika ( eto Goyana Frantsay).” |
