1 | Lebanon: Condoleezza Rice's Surprise Visit | Libanona: Fitsidihana tampoka nataon’i Condoleezza Rice |
2 | U.S. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice made an unannounced, five-hour visit to Lebanon on Monday, June 16. She declared her government's support for the newly elected Lebanese president, as well as for the Lebanese government, the parliament's speaker and the democratic system in the country. | Ny Alatsinainy16 jona lasa teo, ny Sekreteram-panjakana Amerikana Condoleezza Rice dia nivahiny tampoka ora dimy tao Libanona. Nanambara izy ny fanohanan'ny governemantany ny filoha Libaney vao lany tsy ela akory izay, sy ny governemanta Libaney, ny mpitondra tenin'ny parlemanta ary ny rafitra demokratika ao amin'ity firenena ity. |
3 | Rice last visited Lebanon during the devastating 2006 Israel-Lebanon war that left more than 1,300 people dead, most of them Lebanese civilians. | Nandritry ny ady nifandrotehan'i Israely sy Libanona tamin'ny 2006 izay nahafatesana olona maherin'ny 1.300 no fitsidihana farany nataon'i Rice tany Libanona. Izay olon-tsotra Libaney ny ankamaroany. |
4 | Here are some of the responses to this visit in the Lebanese blogosphere: | Ireto ny ampahany vitsivitsy amin'ny akon'ity fitsidihana ity eo anivon'ny fitorahana blaogy Libaney : |
5 | Sursock observed that death always follows Rice on her visits. | Sursock dia nanamarika fa manaraka an'i Rice eny foana ny fahafatesana amin'ny fitsidihana ataony. |
6 | He was also sarcastic about her brushing aside of any suggestions referring to the US interference in Lebanese politics, even after what she had to say upon visiting some of the Lebanese leaders: | Somary maneso sy mandratra ny fibangoany ireo tolo-kevitra rehetra mikasika ny fitsabahan'ny Amerikana amin'ny raharaha politika Libaney, na dia taorian'ny nilazany ny fihaonany tamin'ireo mpitarika Libaney aza: |
7 | Authorities in Lebanon say at least three people have died in clashes between pro- and anti-government groups in the eastern [Bekaa Valley] villages of Saadnayel and Taalbaya…. The clashes took place as Condi “birth pang” Rice paid a surprise visit to Lebanon. | Nilaza ny manampahefana Libaney fa telo raha kely ny olona maty nandritry ny fifandonan'ny mpomba sy ny vondrona mpanohitra ny governemanta tany amin'ireo tanana any atsinanan'i Saadnayel sy Taalbaya… Nitranga ny fifandonana raha iny nanao fitsidihana tampoka an'i Libanona iny i Condi “tahotra ny fahaterahana” Rice. |
8 | Death always seems to follow her. | Toy ny manaraka azy foana ny fahafatesana. |
9 | According to the AFP: Rice said she made the trip to “express the United States' support for Lebanese democracy, for Lebanese sovereignty.” | Araka ny AFP: Rice dia nilaza fa nanao izao dia [fivahinianana] izao izy “hanehoana ny fanohanan'ny Etazonia ny demokrasia Libaney, sy ny maha-masimandidy ny Libaney.” |
10 | Tantalus criticized Rice's incomprehensible support for some of the Lebanese leaders and questioned the actions of some of those leaders for whom she declared the backing of the US government: | Ity fanohanan'i Rice tsy dia mazava loatra ireo mpitarika Libaney sasantsasany ity dia nokianin'i Tantalus sy nametrahany fanontaniana mikasika ny asan'ireo mpitarika ireo izay nolazainy (Rice) fa nohamafisin'ny governemanta Amerikana: |
11 | Rice, talking to reporters at Ain al-Tineh said Speaker Nabih Berri realizes that he enjoys the backing of the United States. | Rice, niresaka tamin'ny mpanao gazety tao Ain al-Tineh hoy ny mpitondra teny Nabih Berri dia nahatsapa fa nakasitrahany ny fanamafisana avy amin'i Etazonia. |
12 | That's quite confusing for all those who recall that Berri's thugs are the ones who spread the chaos during the fateful days of May 7-21. | Somary mifangaro voraka ihany izany ho an'ireo milaza fa ireo maty eritreritra miaraka amin'i Berri no isan'ny namafy korontana nandritry ny andron'ny 7-21 may. |
13 | The Berri-backed Amal sons-of-b*****s threw stones, fired guns, burned tires, talked shit all over the city of Beirut. | Ireo zanakalahy antsoina hoe Berri-backed Amal sons-of-b*****s dia nitora-bato, nitifitra, nandoro kodiarana, niteny ratsy eran'ny tanana'i Beyrouth. |
14 | Was that US-backed too? | Mbola fanamafisan'i Etazonia koa ve izany? |
15 | How does the US function? | Fa ahoana marina no fomba fiasan'i Etazonia? |
16 | Tears for Lebanon mentioned some of the criticism directed to Rice by some politicians for her treatment of the “March 14 Alliance” as school children: | Tears for Lebanon no nitatitra ny sasantsasany tamin'ireo fanakianana an'i Rice nataon'ireo mpanao politika vitsivitsy momba ny fandraisany ny “fifanarahan'ny 14 martsa” ho toy ny fianaran'ankizy: |
17 | Free Patriotic Movement leader Michel Aoun on Tuesday criticized U.S. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice for meeting leaders of the March 14 alliance like “students gathered in a class room.” | Michel Aoun mpitarika ny Free Patriotic Movement dia nanakiana an'i Condoleezza Rice, sekreteram-panjakana Amerikana noho ny filazany ny fihaonany tamin'ireo mpitarika ny Fifanarahan'ny 14 martsa tamin'ny Talata teo ho toy ny “mpianatra nangonina tanaty efitrano fianarana iray.” |
18 | However, he emphasized that “one issue remains vague, that is the issue of naturalizing Palestinians in Lebanon.” | Na izany aza, notsindriany fa “misy resaka iray tsy voafaritra mazava, dia ny resaka fanomezana zom-pirenena ireo Palestiniana any Libanona” |
19 | Jnoubiyeh posted an article by Franklin Lamb in which he analyzes Rice's visit and in which he states that: | Jnoubiyeh kosa naneho lahatsoratr'i Franklin Lamb izay namakafakany ny fitsidihan'i Rice ka ilazany fa: |
20 | It is likely Ms. Rice's last visit to Lebanon, but not her finale to the region which have averaged roughly one appearance every 9 weeks since assuming her current post. | Mety ho iny no fitsidihana farany ataon-dramatoa Rice any Libanona, nefa tsy ho ny farany amin'iny faritra iny izay manana salan'isa ankapobeny ho isaky ny 9 herinandro hatramin'ny nandraisany io toerany misy azy ankehitriny io. |
21 | Rice, as with the Bush administration generally, remains hugely unpopular here in Lebanon based partly on her callous remarks: ” it ( the wanton Israeli killing and bombing) are birth pangs of the new Middle East” , “it's too early for a sustainable ceasefire”, “Israel is just exercising its right to self-defense and the United States supports that right”, etc . during the 33 day July 2006 War and her work to delay a ceasefire during the fighting which directly contributed to the more than 1,400 Lebanese killed, 4,500 wounded and massive destruction of Lebanon's infrastructure as well as its economy and environment. | Rice, toy ireo eo anivon'ny fandraharahana Bush amin'ny ankapobeny ihany, dia mijanona ho isan'ireo tsy tian'ny olona aty Libanona noho ireo fanamarihany tsy voalanjalanja:” Izy ity (ny vono moka ataon'i Israely sy ny zera baomba) dia tahotra ny fahaterahan'ny Moyen-Orient vaovao”, “aloha loatra izao ho an'ny resaka fampitsaharana poa-basy azo tsapain-tanana”, “Israely dia mampihatra fotsiny izao ny zony hiaro tena ary Etazonia dia manohana izany zo izany”, sns. nandritry ny ady 33 andro, jolay 2006 sy ny asany [Rice] hikatsaka fampitsaharana poa-basy nandritry ny fifanandrinana izay nandraisan'ny Libaney anjara sy namoizany aina maherin'ny 1.400, naharatrana 4.500 ary naharavana foto-drafitrasa Libaney marobe hatramin'ny toekareny sy ny tontolo iainany. |
