1 | Tunisia: Hillary Clinton's Unwelcome Visit | Tonizia : Tsy nankasitrahana ny fitsidihan'i Hillary Clinton |
2 | This post is part of our special coverage Tunisia Revolution 2011. | Fanadihadihana manokana mikasika ny Tonizia taona 2011 ity lahatsoratra ity. |
3 | In the two months that have followed the ousting of former Tunisian President Ben Ali by revolutionary protests, four United States (US) officials have visited Tunisia: Jeffrey Feltman, the assistant secretary of state for Near East affairs, William Burns, the US under-secretary of state for political affairs, and Senators Joseph Lieberman and John McCaine. | Tao anatin'ny roa volana izay naha-voaongana ny Filoha Toniziana teo aloha Ben Ali noho ny fihetsiketseham-panoherana revolisionera, tsy latsaky ny 4 ireo tompon'andraikitra Amerikana tonga tao Tonizia : ny sekreteram-panjakana mpanampy ho an'i Afovoany Atsinanana (Moyen-Orient) Jeffrey Feltman, ny sekretera lefitra momba ny raharaha politika William Burns, sy ireo loholona Joseph Lieberman ary i John McCain. |
4 | On the night of Wednesday 15 March, 2011, US Secretary of State Hilary Clinton arrived in capital Tunis after a trip to Egypt. | Tamin'ny Alarobia hariva 15 martsa, anjaran'ny sekretam-panjakana Amerikana Hillary Clinton no tonga tao amin'ny renivohitra rehefa avy any Ejypta izy. |
5 | In Egypt, the 25 January Revolution Youth Coalition refused an invitation to meet with Clinton,”due to her negative stance towards the revolution during its inception and the approach of the US Administration towards the Middle East Region,” as the Coalition states. | Tany Ejipta, nandà ny fanasana hihaona an'ny Ramatoa Cliton ny Vondron'ny tanora revolisionera tamin'ny 25 janoary ,noho ny fihetsika tsy mendrika nataony tamin'ny fanombohan'ny revolisiona sy ny fanatonan'ny fanjakana Amerikana an'i Moyen-Orient,” araka ny fanambaran'ny Mpiara-dia [amin'ny teny anglisy]. |
6 | The reaction to the visit of Hilary Clinton in Tunisia did not differ much from Egypt. | Tsy dia nisy fahasamihafana maro loatra ny tao Ejypta ny fihetsik'ireo vahoaka tamin'ny fahatongavan'i Hillary Clinton tao Tonizia. |

9 | Indeed, on Wednesday and Thursday there were protests in Tunis against the visit. | Nisy fihetsiketsehana manohitra ny fahatongavan'i Hillary ny Alarobia sy ny Alakamisy. |
10 | Protestors see Hilary Clinton's visit to Tunisia as the height of hypocrisy, considering that the US government was known to be an ally of Ben Ali's regime. | Toy ny fihatsaram-belatsihy no fahitan'ireo mpanohitra izany, satria mpiara-dia akaiky ny fanjakana Ben Ali ny governemanta USA. |
11 | Bassem Bounenni writes: | Nanoratra i Bassem Bounenni : |
12 | About one hundred Tunisians demonstrated yesterday in Tunis to denounce the visit of the State Secretary Hillary Clinton. | Toniziana an-jatony no nanao fihetsiketsehana tao Tonizia mba hilaza ny tsy fankasitrahany ny fitsidihan'ny sekreteram-panjakana Amerikana Hillary Clinton. |
13 | “Clinton Out”, “No to the American presence in Tunisia”, chanted the protestors near the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, holding anti-American banners. | “Clinton mandehana”, “tsy mila Amerikana aty Tonizia”, hoy ny fiventson'ireo mpanao fihetsiketsehana manakaiky ny minisiteran'ny Atitany, sady milanja sora-baventy manohitra ny Amerikana. |
14 | Kacem Jlidi says: | Nanampy koa i Kacem Jlidi fa: |
15 | Not just the visit and its unknown purpose but also a media blackout on the exact day of her visit were all enough reasons to push young Tunisians to step down to the street and demonstrate in Hbib Bourghiba Avenue (main street in the capital), Next to the American Embassy in Tunis and at Tunis Carthage airport. | Tsy ny tsy fahafantarana ny fahatongavany sy ny tanjony ihany fa ny fahanginan'ny haino aman-jery tamin'ny andro nahatongavany koa, izany rehetra izany no nanosika ireo tanora Toniziana hidina andalam-be tao Hbib Bourghiba (ny làlana lehibe ao amin'ny renivohitra), manoloana ny masoivoho Amerikana ao Tonizia sy tao amin'ny seranan'ny Tunis-Carthage. |
16 | Demonstrations were held during these past 3 days (15-16 and 17th of March). | Nisy ny fihetsiketsehana telo andro mialoha (15, 16 ary 17 martsa). |
17 | He also reports that the police used force against peaceful protestors: | Nitatitra koa izy fa nampiasa hery ireo polisy tamin'ireo mpanao fihetsiketsehana milamina : |
18 | Well, what started as peaceful manifestations ended with violent attack by the police! | Niafara tamin'ny fanafihana feno herisetra nataon'ireo polisy ny fihetsiketsehana nilamina ! |
19 | It was reported that the police attacked and arrested couple of protesters, it was also reported that dogs were used to frighten the protesters and signs lifted by about 30 demonstrators were destroyed by the police. | Voalaza fa nidaroka sy nisambotra ireo mpanao fihetsiketsehana ny polisy, ary koa nisy alika nampiasaina mba hampitahorana ireo vahoaka, nosimban'ireo polisy koa ny soram-baventy nolanjain'izy ireo. |
20 | Anti-American protestors also claim that there is a hidden agenda behind the visit of Hillary Clinton. | Nihevitra ireo mpanao fihetsiketsehana manohitra ny Amerikana fa misy tetika miafina aorian'io fitsidihan'i Hillary Cliton io. |
21 | Twitter user Nizar Moalla (@NIZARMO) asked the following question on March 17: | Ao amin'nyTwitter, nametraka ity fanontaniana ity i Nizar Moalla (@NIZARMO) tamin'ny 17 martsa: |
22 | Do you think that Hillary Clinton has visited both Egypt and Tunisia to make it easier for them to use our air bases?? | @NIZARMO: mieritreritra ve ianao fa hitsidika an'i Tonizia sy Ejypta i Hillary Cliton mba hanamorana ny fampiasan'izy ireo ny toby tafika an-habakabaka amin'ny Libya?? |
23 | Kais Sellami (@kaissellamy) tweets on the same day: | Ni-twet koa i Kais Sellami (@kaissellamy) io andro io: |
24 | I'm afraid that Clinton is here to negociate for a rear base in Tunisia to attack Libya and same thing for Egypt | @kaissellamy: matahotra aho fa eto i #clinton mba hifampiraharaha ny toby tafika an-habakabaka ao #Tunisie mba hanafihana ny #libye ary toy izany koa ny ao #egypte |
25 | Sami Khalifa (@S_Khal) tweets: | Ni-tweet i Sami Khalifa (@S_Khal): |
26 | Hillary Clinton should know we want our own democracy and not the kind of democracy that she wants for us | @S_khal: Tokony holazaina amin'i H Clinton fa mila ny demokrasianay izahay fa tsy izay tiany atao amintsika #tunisie |
27 | Freedomtunisia (@freedomtunisia) tweets: | Ni-tweet ny Freedomtunisia (@freedomtunisia): |
28 | Clinton is looking for another dictator for Tunisia or Egypt. | @freedomtunisia: mitady mpanao didi-jadona vaovao i Clinton ho an'i Tonizia na ho an'i Ejipta. |
29 | Get out.. | Mialà … #sidibouzid #feb17 #jan25 |
30 | On the night of Thursday March 17, Hilary Clinton appeared on a talk show on a private Tunisian network television station Nessma TV. | Ny alin'ny 17 martsa, niseho tamin'ny fandaharana adihevitra tao amin'ny fahitalavitra tsy miankina Toniziana Nessma TV i Hillary Clinton . |
31 | The talk show did not satisfy viewers who considered it as too shallow and not targeting the main issues. | Tsy afa-po ireo izay nanaraka ny fandaharana, nihevitra fa toy ny zavatra ivelany sady tsy miresaka ny tena lohahevitra. |
32 | Iadh Jomaa (@iadh65) tweets: | Ni-tweet i Iadh Jomaa (@iadh65) : |
33 | Shallow answers for shallow questions […] | @iadh65: #Tunisie #Clinton valiny manafosafo amin'ny fanontaniana manafosafo. […] |
34 | Kacem Jlidi writes: | Nanoratra i Kacem Jlidi : |
35 | Throughout the one hour talk show, you could only notice the fake diplomatic big smiles of H. Clinton when speaking the words that she knows that we like to hear besides giving promises and asking to hear our demands so she could revise them and see what her government could give | Nandritra ny fiadian-kevitra, ny zavatra tsapa, dia mody mitsiky ara-diplaomasia i H Clinton sady manonona ireo teny izay fantany fa tiantsika hohenoina, ary nanome fampanantenana sy nangataka ny hihaino anay mba ahafahany mandinika izany sy hijery izay azon'ny governemantany atao. |
36 | He adds: | Nampiany hoe : |
37 | For those who followed the updates on twitter and facebook, you might've noticed that it was supposed that Clinton would speak to some Tunisian bloggers. | Ho an'ireo izay nanaraka ny vaovao tao amin'ny Twitter sy facebook, afaka nanamarika ianareo fa efa fantatra mialoha fa hanao fanambarana manoloana an”ireo bilaogera Tonizina i H Cliton. |
38 | Apparently the US embassy and Microsoft recommended to Nessma a list of bloggers that they know; also Nessma TV had already its favorite bloggers list. ( …)Did they have to be strict in selecting people that they keep under control what questions to be asked? | Toa niangavian'ny masoivohon'i Etazonia sy Microsoft mba hanome ny lisitr'ireo bilaogera fantany i Nessma ; efa nanana ny lisitr'ireo bilaogera tena mahay koa moa ny Nessma TV (…) Tokony ho sarotiny ve izy ireo tamin'ny fisafidianana olona mba ahafahany mifehy ny fanontaniana mety hitranga ? |
39 | Some of the questions maybe like: | Fanontaniana toy izany : |
40 | - How could Clinton explain the tear gas bombs and weapons and the live ammunition that were used against Tunisians and Egyptians AND were made in USA and Israel? | - Ahoana no fanazavan' ny Ramatoa Clinton ireo grenady mandatsa-dranomaso sy ireo fitaovam-piadina ary bala tena izy nampiasaina tamin'ireo Toniziana sy Ejipsiana ARY vita tany USA sy Isiraely ? |
41 | - How the American government is so hypocrite when supporting dictators and then talking about exporting their democracy | - Nahoana ny governemanta Amerikana no mihatsara-velatsihy hanohana ny mpanao didy jadona sy hilaza ny hitondra ny demokrasiany. |
