1Bahrain: Celebration and Criticism Greet “Manama, Capital of Arab Culture 2012″Bahrain: Fankalazàna sy Fitsikerana Mitsena ny “Manama, Renivohitry ny Kolontsaina Arabo 2012″
2On February 2, “Manama, Capital of Arab Culture 2012” (@ManamaCulture12) was officially launched.Tamin'ny 2 Febroary, natomboka tamin'ny fomba ofisialy ny “Manama, Renivohitry ny Kolotsaina Arabo 2012” (@ManamaCulture12).
3But as the celebration was taking place, opposition protests were broken up elsewhere in the capital.Nefa nandritra izany fankalazàna izany, tany an-kafa tany an-drenivohitra kosa dia rava ny tolona nataon'ireo mpanohitra.
4The Capital of Arab Culture is an initiative of the Arab League under UNESCO's Cultural Capitals Programme.Ny Renivohitry ny Kolotsaina Arabo dia hetsika ataon'ny Ligy Arabo amin'ny Lamin'asa momba ny Renivohitry ny Kolotsaina nataon'ny UNESCO.
5Many have criticised the awarding of the title to Manama this year, and have called for a boycott, because of the government's “repressive practices” against pro-democracy demonstrators, with writers and artists amongst them (some of whom have been forced into exile).Maro ireo nitsikera ny nanomezana an'i Manama izany anarana izany tamin'ity taona ity, ary niantso “boycott” (fahirano), noho ny “fanaovana tsindrihazolena” ataon'ny fanjakàna amin'ireo mpanao fihetsiketsehana miaro no demokrasia, ary ahitàna mpanoratra sy mpanakanto amin'izy ireo (ny sasany tamin'izy ireo dia voatery nanao sesitany ny tenany).
6Other Bahrainis have welcomed the beginning of the year of cultural events, and see it as a way to present a more positive image of Bahrain to the world.Ireo Bahraini sasany dia nanao tsara fandraisana ny fiatombohan'ity taonan'ny hetsika ara-kolotsaina ity, ary mandray izany ho fomba fampisehoana endrika tsara an'i Bahrain amin'izao tontolo izao.

19A criticism often made of cultural events in Bahrain is that many of the artists involved are not Bahraini.Ny tsikera atao matetika momba ny hetsika ara-kolotsaina any Bahrain dia ny hoe maro amin'ireo mpanakanto mandray anjara no tsy teratany Bahraini.
20Not all of those who watched the Capital of Arab Culture ceremony were impressed, feeling it wasn't representative of Bahraini culture.Tsy ireo rehetra nijery ny fankalazàna ny Renivohitry ny Kolotsaina Arabo no talanjona, satria nahatsiaro izy ireo fa tsy mampiseho ny kolotsaina Bahraini izany.

30Journalist Reem Khalifa (@Reem_Khalifa) commented [ar]:Nilaza ny mpanao gazety Reem Khalifa (@Reem_Khalifa) [ar]:
31In the Capital of Arab Culture there is no room for freedom of opinion, independence of the judiciary, and transparency of information, only for the suppression of others' culture and contempt for free humansAny amin'ny Renivohitry ny Kolotsaina Arabo tsy misy toerana ho an'ny fahalalahana maneho hevitra, fahaleovantenan'ny fitsaràna, ary fangaraharan'ny vaovao, fa ho an'ny famonoana ny kolotsain'ny hafa sy ny fankahalàna ny olon'afaka.
32As the opening ceremony took place at the National Museum, protestors gathered in central Manama for a weekly rally known as the Manama March, which was broken up by riot police using tear gas (the heavy use of which in Bahrain has been condemned by human rights organisations).Koa satria tao amin'ny Mozeam-Pirenena no natao ny fanokafana ny fankalazàna, tao afovoan'i Manama ireo mpanao fihetsiketsehana no nivory, ho an'ny fivoriana isan-kerinandro antsoina hoe Diaben'i manama, izay noravan'ny manampahefana tamin'ny baomba mandatsa-dranomaso (izay melohin'ireo fikambanana mpiahy ny zon'olombelona ny fampîasàna azy diso tafahoatra any Bahrain).

36In Manama right now there are two complete opposites… The regime's intellectuals in the National Museum, and the educated people in the alleys suffocating from the regime's cultureAny Manama amin'izao fotoana izao dia misy zavatra roa mifanohitra tanteraka… Ireo manampahaizam-panjakàna ao amin'ny Mozeam-Pirenena ary ireo olona tsara taiza kosa sempotry ny kolotsaim-panjakàna eny an-dalambe
