1 | African Union Celebrates 50th Anniversary | Nankalaza Ny Faha-50 Taonany Ny Vondrona Afrikanina |
2 | The African Union (AU), the single largest organization of states in Africa, marked its 50th anniversary from May 25 to 27, 2013 at its headquarters in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, sparking debate among Africans throughout the continent over the organization's relevance and effectiveness. | Nankalaza ny faha-50 taona niorenany ny Vondrona Afrikanina (UA), fikambanana lehibe indrindra itambaran'ny firenena Afrika tamin'ny 25 hatramin'ny 27 mey 2013 lasa teo tao amin'ny foibeny ao Addis-Abeba, ao Éthiopia, niteraka adihevitra teo amin'ireo Afrikanina manerana ny kaontinanta ny zava-bita sy ny fahombiazan'ny vondrona. |
3 | The AU began as the Organisation of African Unity, founded on May 25, 1963 with 32 members. | [Amin'ny teny anglisy ny rohy raha tsy misy filazana manokana] Firasaimben'ny Firenena Afrikanina (OUA) no nanombohan'ny vondron'ny Afrikanina (UA), izay niorina tamin'ny 25 mey 1963, ary nahitana mpikambana 32. |
4 | Though often criticised for the inability to enforce its decisions, the organisation played a key role in ending colonial rule on the continent through its aid to rebel groups. | Na dia voatsikera amin'ny tsy fahaizany mampihatra fanapahan-kevitra aza ny vondrona, dia nandray andraikitra lehibe tamin'ny fampitsaharana ny fanjakazakan'ny mpanjanaka tao amin'ireo firenen'ny kaontinanta tamin'ny alalan'ny fanampiany ireo vondrona mpikomy. |
5 | After the African Union replaced the Organisation in 2001, many of the same criticisms - that the union had little real power to tackle the poverty and conflict afflicting the continent - have followed. | Rehefa nosoloina hoe Vondrona Afrikanina ny Firasaimben'ny Firenena Afrikanina (OUA) tamin'ny taona 2001, niverina indray ireo tsikera marobe - fa tsy manana fahefana feno hiady amin'ny fahantrana sy ireo ady mampahory ny kaontinanta ny Vondrona. |
6 | The AU now has 54 member states. | Ahitana Firenena mpikambana 54 ankehitriny ny UA. |

8 | Image from African Union Website: http://www.au.int/ The anniversary celebrations encouraged discussions among Africans who followed the events online and dignitaries, civil society, and the youth present. | Nisy ny adihevitra antserasera teo amin'ireo Afrikanina nanaraka akaiky ny fankalazana ary koa teo amin'ireo olo-manan-kaja, fiarahamonim-pirenena sy tanora tonga nanatrika ny fankalazana. |
9 | These discussions explored challenges faced by the AU and the successes that it has had. | Niresaka momba ireo fanamby natrehan'ny UA sy ireo fahombiazana azony ny adihevitra. |
10 | Webster Madanhi in a blog post at Freedom Trapped commented on AU's successes: | Nanadihady momba ny fahombiazan'ny UA i Webster Madanhi tao amin'ny bilaogy Freedom Trapped (Fahafahana Nogejaina): |
11 | To many Africans, the greatest achievement of the organisation in 50 years has been its ability to stay together at all. | Ho an'ireo Afrikanina maro, ny fahombiazana lehibe indrindra vitan'ny vondrona tao anatin'izay 50 nisiany izay dia ny fahaizany mitàna ny toerany ihany (izany hoe ny mbola maha-eo azy). |
12 | If anyone thinks that mine is a harsh verdict, let him be reminded that Africans still need visas - often expensive and time-wasting - to visit each other's countries. | Raha misy olona mihevitra fa masiaka loatra ny fijeriko, fantaro fa mbola mila “visa” ny Afrikanina - izay lafo dia lafo matetika ary handaniana fotoana maro - vao afaka mitsidika firenena Afrikanina hafa. |
13 | During an assembly on intergenerational dialogue for children and youth, which was part of 50th anniversary celebrations, Zambian president Michael Sata opposed the idea of one passport for African citizens arguing that it will encourage crime on the continent. | Nandritra ny fivoriana nifanaovan'ny taranaka (andiany) samihafa mifandray tamin'ny ankizy sy ny tanora, izay anisan'ny nankalazaina nandritra ity fankalazana ny faha-50 taona ity, nitsipaka ny soso-kevitra fampiasana pasipaoro iombonana ho an'ireo Afrikanina ny filoha zambiana Michael Sata satria mety hitarika karazan-keloka eo amin'ny kaontinanta izany hoy izy. |
14 | A number of Africans used Twitter to talk about the successes and challenges of the African Union. | Afrikanina maro no nampiasa Twitter niresahana momba ireo fahombiazana sy ireo fanambin'ny vondrona Afrikanina. |
15 | Student and amateur photographer Abdul Sharif (@Africathinker) wondered about a single African passport: | Mpianatra sady mpankafy maka sary, Abdul Sharif (@Africathinker) nanontany mikasika izany pasipaoro iombonan'ny Afrikanina izany: |
16 | @Africathinker: Imagine having a single African passport and currency? | @Africathinker: Saintsaino hoe manana pasipaoro sy vola Afrikanina tokana? |

18 | Writer, speaker, and teacher Sunny Bindra (@sunnysunwords) noted that Pan-Africanism means more than getting together for conferences: | Nilaza i Sunny Bindra (@sunnysunwords), mpanoratra, mpanao famelabelaran-kevitra sady mpampianatra fa manana dikany maro ny hoe panafrikanisma ankoatra ny fihaonana fanaovana fivoriana: |
19 | @sunnysunwords: #PanAfricanism is not about more conferences; it's about fewer controls, more exchanges of knowledge, capital and products. | @sunnysunwords: #PanAfricanism # Tsy fikarakarana kaonferansa ihany ny Panafrikanisma, fa midika hoe fihenan'ny sakana, fitomboan'ny fifanakalozana fahalalana, renivola ary vokatra. |
20 | Analyst Abdi Hakim (@Abdihakim) refuted claims that the AU has not achieved anything: | Nolavin'i Abdi Hakim (@Abdihakim) ny filazana fa tsy nahavita na inona na inona ny UA: |
21 | @Abdihakim: False the assertion that @AUC_DPA hasn't achieved anything. | @Abdihakim: Filazana diso ny hoe tsy nahavitra na inona na inona ny @AUC_DPA. |
22 | Look Somalia it basically pick up from the scratch. | Jereo i Somalia fa tafarina. |

24 | However, others such as financial consultant Ngarawa Gichumbi Sam (@GichumbiSam), were critical of the AU: | Na dia izany aza, ny hafa tahaka ilay mpanolo-kevitra ara-bola Ngarawa Gichumbi Sam (@GichumbiSam) dia nitsikera an'ny UA |
25 | @GichumbiSam: To me, AU is the best organ to shape Africa into Pan-Africanism but today's congregants at Addis Ababa are MISPLACED to make [International Criminal Court] an agenda. | @GichumbiSam: Amiko, ny UA no solontena afaka hanova endrika an'i Afrika ao amin'ny panafrikanisma, saingy diso toerana ireo izay manao fihaonana ankehitriny ao Addis-Abeba raha hametraka [ny Fitsarana Heloka Bevava Iraisam-pirenenala] ao anatin'ny fandaharam-potoana. |
26 | His tweet came after some African leaders accused the court of targeting African leaders: | Nilatsaka izany sioka izany andro vitsy taorian'ny fiampangan'ireo filoha Afrikanina izany Fitsarana izany izay mikendry azy ireo manokana : |
27 | @IamEtiks: AU leaders accuses #ICC of race hunting….. | @IamEtiks: Ampangain'ireo filohan'ny UA ho manavakavaka ara-pirazanana ny #ICC |
28 | African leaders have urged the ICC to refer back to Kenya the crimes-against-humanity case against its leaders. | Nangataka tamin'ny CPI ireo filoha Afrikanina mba hanaisotra ny fiampangana noho ny heloka atao amin'ny olombelona hanenjehana ireo filoha ao Kenya. |
29 | ICC President Sang-Hyun Song has refuted claims that the court is targeting African leaders. | Nolavin'ny Filohan'ny CPI Sang-Hyun Song [fr] ny filazana fa manao ho lasibatra ireo filoha Afrikanina ny fitsarana. |
30 | Michelle Rosentall, a citizen journalist based in the US, sent the video below to the African Union to be viewed during the celebrations: | Michelle Rosentall, bilaogera monina ao Etazonia, nandefa lahatsary nandritra ny fankalazana araka ny fangatahan'ny vondrona Afrikanina : Lahatsary: http://vimeo.com/66976507 |
31 | Pan-Africanism and the African Renaissance is a bold step towards “providing Africa with a chance for renaissance and outline its vision and mission for 2063,” the AU boasted ahead of the celebrations. | Dingana lehibe “hahafahan'i Afrika ho amin'ny fihavaozany sy ny fametrahana vina sy andraikitra ho amin'ny taona 2063,” ny panafrikanisma sy ny fihavaozan'ny Afrikanina hoy ny UA talohan'ny fankalazana. |
32 | Only time will tell whether the African Union will promote unity, solidarity and cooperation of African States to achieve a better life for the peoples of Africa. | Ny fotoana ihany no hilaza amintsika raha hahavita hampandroso ny mahairay, ny firaisankina sy ny fiarahamiasa eo amin'ireo Firenena Afrikanina ny Vondrona Afrikanina mba hanatratrarana izany hoe fiainana tsaratsara kokoa ho an'ireo mponina Afrikanina. |
