1 | Pope’s Resignation Echoes in Africa | Manako Any Afrika Ny Fametraham-pialàn'ny Papa |
2 | The announcement by Pope Benedict XVI of his intention to resign with effect from February 28, 2013 provoked many reactions in Francophone Africa, both in traditional media and on social networks. | Niteraka fihetseham-po tamin'ny Firenena Afrikana mampiasa ny teny Frantsay, na tamin'ny haino aman-jery nentim-paharazana na tamin'ny tambajotra sosialy, ny fanambaràn'ny Papa Benoà XVI mikasika ny faniriany hiala amin'ny asany manomboka amin'ny 28 Febroary 2013. |
3 | The predominant feeling was that of admiration for the Pope combined with the wish that certain African leaders would follow his example. | Ny fankasitrahana ny Papa miaraka amin'ny hetaheta mba hisian'ny mpitarika Afrikana sasany haka ohatra amin'ny nataony no tena fihetseham-po nibahana tao. |

6 | Varied opinions, with underlying admiration | Hevitra samihafa, saingy araham-piderana |
7 | In a well-reported article from Togocouleurs blog entitled ‘Must the Pope Die Pope?', Charles Lebon wrote that [fr]: | Nanoratra toy izao manaraka izao[fr], ao amin'ny lahatsoratra iray feno antontan-kevitra tsara ao amin'ny bilaogy Togocouleurs mitondra ny lohateny hoe ‘Tsy maintsy tokony ho faty Papa ve ny Papa?', i Charles Lebon: |
8 | The news hit on February 11 like a thunderclap in a quiet sky. | Nivoaka toy ny vara-datsaka tanaty lanitra tony ny vaovao tamin'ny 11 febroary. |
9 | The shock would have been less violent if they had announced the death of the Pope who, on this occasion, as on many others, made journalists wait under his windows in agony with a microphone, camera and candle. | Tokony ho tsy mafy loatra ny filàtsany raha toa ka nilaza izy ireo fa maty ilay Papa, ary amin'izay fotoana izay, toy ny nataon'ireo hafa, dia nampiandry teo ambany varavarankelin'ilay ray masina miala aina ireo mpanao gazety miaraka amin'ny micro, ny fakantsary, ary ny labozia. |
10 | But this was not the announcement that was made. | Fa tsy izany no zava-nitranga. |
11 | It was actually the resignation of the reigning pontiff, in the sense of: ‘renouncing his burden'. | Ny tena marina dia ny fametraham-pialan'ny mpitantana dimbin'i Piera, ao amin'ny hevitra hoe: ‘mandàny anjara ziogany'. |
12 | Diery Diallo's blog quoted Father Jacques Seck of Dakar [fr] : | Nitanisa an'i Ray Jacques Seck any Dakar [fr] ny bilaogin'i Diery Diallo : |
13 | I say that I am glad that the Holy Father (Pope Benedict XVI) has taken this step personally. | Ambarako fa faly aho satria nanao dingana samirery ny Ray Masina (Papa Benoa XVI). |
14 | Men of God such as we […] are not functionaries with a job. | Ny Olon'Andriamanitra tahaka anay […] manko tsy mba fonksionera amin'itony asa itony. |
15 | I am pleased that the Holy Father as the head of the Church has given us the example. | Faly aho fa nanome ohatra ho antsika ny Ray Masina amin'ny maha lohan'ny Fiangonana azy. |
16 | Bishops, Cardinals, the Pope, are not functionaries, when they can no longer go on, they give their place to others. ” reacted Father Jacques Seck on the airwaves of RFM. | Tsy fonksionera ny Eveka, ny Kardinaly ary ny Papa, rehefa tsy afaka manohy intsony izy, omeny ny olona hafa ny toerany” hoy ny fihetseham-pon'ny Ray Jacques Seck teo amin'ny onjam-peon'ny RFM. |
17 | Let us remember that Pope Benedict XVI announced his resignation from his papal duties would take effect on February 28, 2013. | Andeha ho tsaroantsika fa nanambara ny Papa Benoa XVI fa manan-kery ny fametraham-pialany manomboka ny 28 Febroary 2013. |
18 | As reason, he gave his advanced years which no longer allow him to fulfil the duties of the Holy See. | Ny antony narosony, ny taonany efa lehibe izay fantany fa tsy ahafahany intsony mamita ny andriaikitry ny Tompo. |
19 | On the facebook page of Radio France International, a widely-listened to station in Francophone Africa, many reactions were posted [fr] during a programme dedicated to this event: | Maro ireo fihetseham-po no nipetraka [fr] teo amin'ny pejy facebook-n'ny Radio France International, maridrefy izay isan'ny maro mpihaino any amin'ny tany mampiasa ny teny Frantsay any Afrika, nandritra ny fandaharam-potoana natokana ho amin'ity tranga ity: |
20 | Many Africans seem to wish their leaders would be inspired by the courageous act of Pope Benedict XVI. | Maro ireo Afrikana no maniry ireo mpitantana azy ho voasinton'ny hetsika feno fahasahiana nataon'ny Papa Benoà XVI. |

22 | From Conakry in Guinea Hilal Sylla [fr] wrote that: | Nanoratra i Hilal Sylla [fr] avy any Conakry any Ginea: |
23 | Although it doesn't make much sense, Pope Benedict's resignation reminds me of the popular film about the church and the Illuminati. | Na dia tsy dia manan-danja be aza izany, dia mampahatsiaro ahy horonantsary malaza izay mikasika ny fiangonana sy ny Illuminati ny fametraham-pialan'ny Papa Benoà. |
24 | A way of saying that the church no longer has strength in a world dominated by so much perversion. | Fomba iray ilazàna fa tsy manana hery intsony ny fiangonana eo amin'izao tontolo feno hadalana loatra izao. |
25 | One question: Is the End of the World nigh? | Fanontaniana tokana: Efa akaiky ve ny Faran'Izao Tontolo Izao? |
26 | For Samuel Azabho [fr] from Kisangani in the Democratic Republic of Congo: | Ho an'i Samuel Azabho [fr] avy any Kisangani any amin'ny Repoblika Demokratikan'i Kongo: |
27 | This resignation is not unusual because of the matter of his age. | Tsy vaovao akory ity fametraham-pialana ity noho ny taonany. |
28 | His papacy was mainly positive in so far as it was the precursor of the fight against paedophilia. | Saika tsara avokoa ny fitondrana maha-Papa azy raha toa koa ka mbola izy no fototry ny ady atao amin'ny fametavetana zaza tsy ampy taona. |
29 | I think that he acted as a decisive man. And whoever follows him must be up to the challenges in the future of the Catholic Church, and of all humanity, no matter his race or origin. | Mihevitra aho fa nanao fihetsika feno fandinihana izy. Ary ireo rehetra te-hanaraka azy dia tsy maintsy mahazaka ny fanamby amin'ny hoavy eo amin'ny Fiangonana Katolika, ary koa ny olombelona rehetra, na inona na inona volon-koditra sy fiaviany. |
30 | From Yaoundé, Ben Mbele remarked that [fr]: | Nanamarika i Ben Mbele avy any Yaonde [fr]: |
31 | However, we can say that the papacy of Benedict XVI has not been plain sailing, from his speech about Islam, through the scandal of paedophile priests, finishing with the gay marriage question, for all that, we note that the salutatory decision of Benedict XVI will set a precedent because it will launch a debate on whether Canon Law regarding the Pope's mandate should be modified, personally I don't think we should expect too much from the new Pope regarding emancipation of certain groups of people because most current cardinals were named by Benedict XVI and John Paul 2, and are very conservative. | Na izany aza azontsika atao ihany no milaza fa tsy ony tony akory ny fotoana naha-Papa an'i Benoà XVI , hatramin'ny lahateniny mikasika ny Silamo, nandalo ny tantara ratsin'ireo pretra nametaveta zaza tsy ampy taona, hatramin'ny olan'ny mariazin'olona mitovy fananahana, amin'izany rehetra izany, hitantsika fa hitoetra ho ny voalohany misava làlana ity fanapahan-kevitra miaty fnavotana natan'i Benoà XVI ity satria hiteraka adihevitra amin'ny Lalàna Canon izy ity mikasika ny fe-potoana hitondran'ny Papa, hoe hovaina sa tsia, raha ny hevitro manokana, tsy tokony hanantena foana avy amin'ny Papa vaovao isika mikasika ny famotsorana vondron'olona vitsivitsy satria ny ankamaroan'reo kardinaly amin'izao fotoana dia saika voatendrin'i Papa Benoà XVI sy Joany Paoly 2, ary tena mpandala ny nentim-paharazana. |
32 | Alpha Ulrick Marcellus from Brazzville, in Congo thought that [fr]: | Mihevitra [fr] i Alpha Ulrick Marcellus avy any Brazzville, any Kongo fa : |
33 | The Pope's decision was courageous. | Feno fahasahiana ny fanapahan-kevitry ny Papa. |
34 | He did not resign, but renounced, he renounced the Holy See. | Tsy nametra-pialàna izy fa nandà, nandà ny Andraikitry ny Masina. |
35 | Not an easy decision to take. | Tsy mora ny fanapahan-kevitra noraisiny. |
36 | In my opinion, his papacy was one of great trials, of shocking and hard-hitting speeches about truths. | Raha ny hevitro manokana, isan'ny fizahan-toetra goavana ny naha-Papa azy, tamin'ny lahateny tsy miolankolaka sy manohina mafy rehefa milaza ny marina. |
37 | Benedict XVI has given the best of himself, for a Church in conflict with a world becoming more and more eccentric. | Nanolotra ny tsara indrindra avy aminy ny Papa Benoà XVI, ho anà Fiangonana anatin'ny ady miaraka amin'izao tontolo izao izay mihalasa mivary lavo hatrany hatrany. |
38 | Let us hope that, for the future Pope, God chooses the one who is best-suited, capable of taking courageous decisions against the deviations that the world legalises, to preserve the integrity of faith and of the Church. | Andeha hanantena isika fa, ny Papa ho avy eo, Andriamanitra anie no hifidy azy ao anatin'izay tsara indrindra, afaka handray fanapahan-kevitra feno fahasahiana eo anatrehan'ny kihon-dalana maro izay hamarinin'izao tontolo izao, mba hiarovana ny finoana sy ny fahamasinan'ny Fiangonana. |
39 | The BBC also broadcast special programmes about Francophone Africa, which were played by local radio stations. | Nandefa fanadaharana manokana ihany koa ny BBC mikasika ny Tany mampiasa ny teny Frantsay ao Afrika, izay nalefan'ireo foibenà radio tany an-toerana. |
40 | The BBC's facebook page about Africa has more than 17,000 fans [fr]. | Manana mpankafy maherin'ny 17.000 [fr] ny pejy facebook-n'ny BBC mikasika an'i Afrika. |
41 | During the programme about this resignation, Africa Live on February 16, many Africans gave their points of view. | Maro ireo Afrikana no nanome ny fomba fijeriny nandritra ny fandaharana mikasika ity fametraham-pialana ity teo amin'ny Africa Live tamin'ny 16 Febroary. |
42 | Michel Djadji Anigbe from Abidjan, Côte d'Ivoire, wrote that [fr]: | Nanoratra toy izao i Michel Djadji Anigbe avy any Abidjan, Côte d'Ivoire [fr]: |
43 | Relative to the Pope's decision to resign, his motive leaves me perplexed and speechless. | Mifandraika amin'ny fanapahan-kevitry ny Papa ny hametra-pialàna, namela ahy ho sanganehana ihany ny tena antony marina. |
44 | How could a great intellectual like him have accepted this papacy with all the sacrifices which that demands? | Ahoana marina moa no nanekeny, izy izay olona lalin-tsaina, ho papa miaraka amin'ireto sorona izay takian'izany? |
45 | Especially with what his predecessor, the venerable Pope John Paul II, had achieved with his. | Indrindra miaraka amin'ny zavatra vitan'ny teo alohany, ny Papa hajaina Joany Paoly 2 nandritra ny fotoany. |
46 | What is more, his argument is too simplistic regarding the scandal of this business with his majordomo. | Ny tena fanampin'izany, tsotra loatra ny fiarovan-keviny manoloana ny tantara ratsin'ity mpitantan-draharahany ity. |
47 | And when you also realise that the Vatican is not ignorant of or a stranger to what happens in the world today. | Ary indrindra rehefa hitanao hoe tsy badolahy na koa hoe tsy vahiny amin'ny zava-misy eo amin'izao tontolo izao ny ao Vatikàna. |
48 | Didier Didou Mady posed an interesting question [fr]: | Nametraka fanontaniana mahaliana i Didier Didou Mady [fr]: |
49 | Is the rejection of the Pope's resignation conceivable with regards to Canon Law? | Mety ho azo eritreretina ve hoe holavina ny fametraham-pialan'ny Papa raha ny Lalàna Kanonika no jerena? |
50 | What could be more normal than tourists at the Vatican visiting the Pope and the ex-Pope at the same time? | Inona moa no maharatsy ny hoe mpizahatany tonga any Vatikana mitsidika ny Papa sy ny Papa teo aloha indray miaraka? |
51 | It is difficult to have an indefatigable Pope! | Sarotra ny hanana Papa tsy mety vizana! |
52 | An Example for some African leaders? | Ohatra ho an'ny mpitondra Afrikana sasantsasany? |
53 | Africa has many badly run countries. | Manana firenena maro ratsy tantana i Afrika. |
54 | Is this linked to the fact that on this continent we also find heads of State who have been in power the longest?: | Misy ifandraisany ve izany amin'ny hoe teto amin'ity kaontinanta ity ihany koa no nahitàna mpitondra Firenena ela indrindra teo amin'ny fitondràna?: |
55 | Many Africans have commented on the resignation of Pope Benedict XVI by relating it what has happened on their own continent. | Maro ireo Afrikana no nanakiana ity fametraham-pialan'ny Papa Benoà XVI ity raha nampifandray ny zava-misy amin'izay mitranga any amin'ny kaontinantany. |
56 | Josiane Kouaghe from Cameroon wrote [fr] on his blog: | Nanoratra [fr] teo amin'ny bilaoginy i Josiane Kouaghe avy any Kamerona: |
57 | After these disputes, the real questions make themselves felt. | Taorian'ireny disadisa ireny, tsapa ho azy ireo fanontaniana tena marina. |
58 | And the comparisons are quick to follow. | Ary mora arahana ny fampitahana. |
59 | “Ah, he reminds me of Nelson Mandela. | “Hay, mampatsiaro ahy an'i Nelson Mandela izy. |
60 | Do you remember, in 1999, when he resigned after only five years?” Eric Ntomb, 64, asked his friend. | Tadidinao ve, tamin'ny 1999, tamin'izy nametra-pialana taorian'ny dimy taona monja?” hoy i Eric Ntomb, 64 taona, manontany ny namany. |
61 | “Now you're talking Eric! | “Miresaka ianao amin'izao ry Eric! |
62 | It's the same thing with the Pope. | Mitovy amin'ny zavatra nataon'ny Papa ihany izany. |
63 | He's only been there since 2005. | Nanomboka tamin'ny 2005 fotsiny izy no teo. |
64 | If only our leaders in Africa could do the same as him”, answered the friend with a deep sigh. | Raha mba afaka manao toy izany koa manko ireo mpitondra antsika aty Afrika”, hoy ity namany namaly niaraka tamin'ny sento lalina. |
65 | The friend said out loud what millions of people think deep down. | Nilaza tamin'ny feo mafy ny zavatra eritreretin'ny olona an-tapitrisany maro ity namana ity. |
66 | And I am stopping you! | Ary sakanako ianao! |
67 | Don't tell me that the Pope resigned because he is a man of God. | Aza milaza amiko hoe nametra-pialana ny Papa satria izy olon'Andriamanitra. Tsia! |
68 | No! He was leading the smallest and most powerful state in the world. | Izy no nitondra ny firenena kely indrindra sy matanjaka indrindra eran-tany. |
69 | Josiane Kouagheu then reviewed the list of African presidents who resigned their duties voluntarily: | Ka dia niverenan'i Josiane Kouagheu nojerena ny lisitry ny Filoha Afrikana izay nametra-pialana tamin'ny nahim-pony: |
70 | However, by far the most famous of all African leaders to leave power voluntarily was unquestionably Nelson Mandela, in 1999, a fact which has invited these comparisons between Mandela and Pope Benedict XVI. | Na izany aza, ny tena mpitondra Afrikana nalaza indrindra niala teo amin'ny fahefana tamin'ny sitrapony dia tsy azo lavina mihitsy fa i Nelson Mandela, tamin'ny 1999, tranga iray izay nahatonga ity fampitahana teo amin'i Mandela sy ny Papa Benoà XVI ity. |
