49 | Kerstin is an expat living in Marrakech. | Kerstin dia mpiasa mpila ravinahitra monina ao Marrakech. |
50 | She shares her initial reaction on her blog, Maid in Marrakech. | Mizara izay fahatsapany voalohany izy ao amin'ny bilaoginy, Maid in Marrakech. |
51 | She writes: | Hoy izy manoratra: |
52 | I still don't quite understand why someone would do this and what they are trying to achieve? | Tena tsy mety takatro mihitsy ny hoe fa nahoana no misy olona manao an'izao ary inona no tanjona tian-dry zareo hahatongavana? |
53 | The annoying thing is if it was a suicide bomber as the foreign press have started saying then this person is now no longer alive and we will never be able to find out what his reasoning for it was. | Ny zava-manahirana dia raha mpanao vy very ny ainy tokoa iny, tahaka izay nilazan'ireo mpampahalala vaovao vahiny azy, dia efa tsy velona intsony ilay ranamana ary tsy ho fantatsika mandrakizay ny antony nanaovany azy iny. |
54 | Tourism, political, what? | Fizahantany, sa ara-politika, inona? |
55 | For sure all eyes are now on Marrakech. | Azo antoka fa mijery an'i Marrakech daholo ny maso amin'izao. |
56 | Sadly for all the wrong reasons. | Indrisy fa noho ny antony ratsy mahamenatra. |
57 | Authorities have since rejected the possibility of a suicide bomber and say that the blast was triggered by a remote control device. | Ny manampahefana dia manilika ny hoe olona mpanao vy very ny ainy iny ary milaza fa fipoahana nobaikoana avy lavitra no nisy. |
58 | Moroccan blogger Reda Chraïbi says Moroccans won't be deterred by the Marrakech attack and urges for reforms which, he says, are the only safeguard against terrorism. | Reda Chraïbi, Maraokana mpitoraka bilaogy, dia miteny fa ny Maraokana dia tsy ho kivin'izay fipoahana tao Marrakech ary mandrisika ny hitakiana ireo fanovàna, izay lazainy, fa hany fiarovana tokana amin'ny asa fampihorohoroana. |
59 | He writes [Fr]: | Manoratra izy [Fr]: |
60 | Finally, this [Moroccan] Spring can not be spoiled by this passing storm. | Ela ny ela, ny Lohatonantsika [Maraokana] tsy ho sembanin'iny oram-batravatra nandalo iny. |
61 | To the contrary: this act certainly comes from those who do not want the advent of freedom and democracy in Morocco. | Ny mifanohitra amin'izany aza, iny fihetsika iny dia azo antoka fa avy amin'ireo tsy maniry ny hahatongavan'ny fahalalahana sy ny demaokrasia eto Maraoka. |
62 | There is therefore no better attitude to adopt -now more than ever- than to engage more towards an equitable society, free and fair. | Tsy misy toetra tsara aseho araka izany -manomboka eto- afa-tsy ny firosoana hatrany mankany amin'ny fametrahana fiarahamonina isian'ny fitoviana, malalaka sy madio. |
63 | In the meantime, we will return to Jemaa Lefna Square, more than ever, enjoying its pleasures and taunting the villains, since we are not terrorized. | Mandritra izay fotoana izay, hiverina ho any amin'ny kianjan'i Jemaa Lefna isika, bebe kokoa noho ny fahiny, hiaina ny fahafinaretany sy hiatrika ireo kaondrana mitapy, satria tsy nihorohoro isika. |
