1 | Madagascar On Tenterhooks As Election Proceeds | Mitaintaina i Madagasikara Raha Miatrika ny Fifidianana |
2 | It is finally election day in Madagascar. | Tonga ihany ny andro fifidianana eto Madagasikara. |
3 | The elections have been postponed three times this year alone, since the 2009 coup catapulted the country to international pariah status. | Tamin'ity taona ity fotsiny, in-telo nahemotra ny datim-pifidianana, hatramin'ilay fanonganam-Panjakana tamin'ny 2009 nahatonga ny firenena hahilika eo amin'ny sehatra iraisam-pirenena. |
4 | The BBC has a comprehensive summary of the events of the last four years leading to this less than perfect electoral situation: | Manana famintinana feno mikasika ireo tranga niseho nandritra ireo efa-taona farany izay nitarika izao toe-draharaha hisian'ny fifidianana tsy dia tonga lafatra izao ny BBC: |
5 | The polls will be run by the Independent National Electoral Commission of the Transition (Cenit) - an independent electoral body funded by the United Nations. | Ny Komisiona Misahana ny Fifidiananam-Pirenena Tsy Miankina ho an'ny Tetezamita (CENI-T) - fikambanana iray tsy miankina misahana ny fifidianana vatsian'ny Firenena Mikambana - no hanatanteraka ireo fifidianana. |
6 | No firm date has been set to announce the results but if no candidate receives more than 50% of the votes cast, a second round will be held on 20 December, along with the parliamentary elections. | Tsy misy daty matotra voatondro hilazana ireo valiny, saingy raha tsy misy mpifaninana mahazo vato maherin'ny 50% amin'ireo latsa-bato natao, hisy ny fihodinana faharoa izay hotanterahina ny 20 Desambra, miaraka amin'ireo fifidianana solombavambahoaka. |
7 | Cenit says there are 7,697,382 registered voters and 20,115 polling stations in Madagascar, a country the size of France with a scattered population. | Milaza ny Cenit fa 7.697.382 no isan'ireo mpifidy voasoratra ary 20 115 no isan'ireo birao fandatsaham-bato manerana an'i Madagasikara, firenena iray mitovy habe amin'i Frantsa saingy ahitana mponina miparitaka be. |
8 | Since this morning, voters have been lining up to cast their ballots and choose the future President from among an unprecedented 33 candidates. | Nanomboka ny maraina teo, efa nilahatra be ireo mpifidy mba handeha handrotsa-bato sy hifidy izay ho Filoha, amin'ireo kandidà miisa 33, tranga mbola tsy fahita. |
9 | Citoyenne Malgache is among those who were eager to vote. | Anivon'ireo izay maika hifidy i Citoyenne Malgache. |
10 | At 6:30 am, I was at the voting area. | Tamin'ny 6ora 30 mn maraina aho no efa tany amin'ny toeram-pifidianana. |
11 | There were already people there, and things were calm. | Efa feno olona teo, ary nangingina ny toe-draharaha. |
12 | Those in charge politely directed me to the office where I was able to verify if my name was on the electoral list. | Nanoro ahy tamim-pahatsorana ny birao izay hahafahako manamarina ny anarako ireo tompon'andraikitra amin'izany. |
13 | Hundreds of voting cards were waiting for their owners to claim them. | Kara-pifidianana anjatony no efa niandry ny tompony tao mba haka azy. |
14 | The lady in charge reads through the listing for four polling stations, looking for my name. | Nanesy nijery ireo lisitra tamin'ireo biraom-pifidianana efatra hikaroka ny anarako ilay vehivavy tompon'andraikitra. |
15 | She asks me if I want to make a last hope request and calls another person, who consciously reads the four lists again, before asking me if I had received the blue card. | Nanontany ahy izy raha te-hiala nenina farany aho ka niantso olon-kafa, izay namerina nikaroka ampahamatorana tsara indray ny anarako anatin'ireo lisitra efatra, mialohan'ny nanontaniany ahy raha naharay ilay karatra manga aho. |
16 | A lady looks at me questioningly and asks whether I invoted during the referendum. | Nisy Ramatoa iray nandinika ahy tamin'endrika feno fanontaniana ary nametraka izao fanontaniana manaraka izao tamiko: Efa nifidy ve ianao tamin'ny fitsapankevibahoaka? |
17 | The answer is no. | Tsia no valiny. |
18 | Finally, they tell me I can come and register at the Fokontany office from Monday onwards, so I'd be able to vote in the run-off elections. | Fehiny, nilaza tamiko izy ireo fa afaka tonga sy misoratra anarana any amin'ny biraom-pokontany aho manomboka ny alatsinainy izao, amin'izay aho afaka mifidy amin'ny fihodinana faharoa. |
19 | But I'm not sure that I will want to vote at that time. | Nefa tsy haiko aho na te-hifidy na tsia amin'io fotoana io. |
20 | Allons-enfants de la patrie, voting day has arrived! | Andao ry zanaky ny firenena, tonga ity ny andro fifidianana! |
21 | But today isn't yet the day that I'll have the right to exercise that right. | Saingy tsy mbola androany no fotoana ahazoako zo haneho ny hevitro. |
22 | For me, today will be will be nothing more than yet another gag. | Amiko, fanentsenam-bava hafa ohatra ny mahazatra androany. |
23 | And also one more bridge that I shall for once be able appreciate. | Sady mbola tetezana iray fanampiny izay tokony hankafiziko indray. |
24 | On the ground, voters tweet about irregularities. | Teny ankianja, nibitsika mikasika ireo tsy ara-dalàna ireo mpifidy. |
25 | Urgent: According to the candidate, Rajemison, on his official Facebook page, in Ambohibao they're paying voters to vote for Hery, #3 candidate. | Maika: Araka ny voalazan'ny kandidà Rajemison, teo amin'ny pejy facebook ofisialiny, nisy fizaram-bola tany Ambohibao hanentanana ny olona hifidy an'i Hery, kandidà #3 |

29 | Tahina tweets a picture of the single ballot: | Mibitsika mikasika ny sarina biletà tokana i Tahina: |
30 | The single ballot paper. | Ny biletà tokana. |

33 | On the HuffingtonPost, Jason Pack, a researcher of African History at Cambridge University and President of Libya-Analysis.com, is skeptical about the outcome. | Ao amin'ny HuffingtonPost, miahiahy noho izay mety ho vokatra i Jason Pack, mpikaroka iray mikasika ny Tantaran'i Afrika ao amin'ny Anjerimanontolon'i Kambrija sady Filohan'ny Libya-Analysis.com. |
34 | Malagasies will supposedly choose who will lead them through these turbulent times. | Natao hisafidy izay hitondra azy ireo hamakivaky ireo fotoana misavoritaka ny Malagasy. |
35 | Because that choice is likely to be little more than an electoral farce, the international community will also have to make a choice. | Koa satria lehibe kokoa noho ny sarintsarim-pifidianana ity safidy ity, tsy maintsy manao ny safidiny koa ny Vondrona Iraisam-pirenena. |
36 | Will they turn a blind eye to electoral manipulation and rampant “irregularities” while congratulating themselves in diplomatic circles for steering Madagascar back to democracy? | Hanapi-maso manoloana ireo fanodikondinana ny fifidianana sy “ireo tsy ara-dalàna” izay manjakazaka ve izy ireo raha midera tena anatin'ny tontolo diplomatika noho ny famerenany an'i Madagasikara eo amin'ny zotran'ny demôkrasia? |
37 | Or will they send a message that governments that come to power by breaking the key rules of democracy do not get rewarded with aid and diplomatic recognition? | Sa handefa hafatra izy ireo fa ireo fitondrana izay tafiakatra eo amin'ny fitondrana tamin'ny fandikàna ireo lalànan'ny demôkrasia dia tsy hahazo ny fanampiana sy fankatoavana ara-diplomatika? |
38 | Unfortunately, it seems most likely that the reality in Madagascar will once more be obscured by a cartoon caricature. | Indrisy, azo heverina fa mbola ho saron'ny sary itatra indray ny zava-misy marina eto Madagasikara. |
39 | Finally, in a humorous tweet, Faly Kizitina (“The happy grumbler”), wonders how hard the SADC election observers are really working (there are 300 SADC observers deployed in Madagascar). | Farany, tanatinà bitsika mahatsikaiky iray, manontany tena i Faly Kizitina hoe hatraiza ny hamafin'ny asa ataon'ireo mpanara-maso mikasika ny fifidianana avy amin'ny SADC (misy 300 ireo mpanara-maso avy amin'ny SADC miparitaka manerana an'i Madagasikara). |
