1 | Global: Morocco Closes Caracas Embassy | Nakaton'i Maraoka ny ambasadiny any Caracas |
2 | Morocco announced this week that it would close its embassy in Venezuela due to Venezuela's recognition of the Saharawi Arab Democratic Republic (SADR), the territory also known as the “Western Sahara,” over which Morocco asserts its sovereignty. | Nanambara i Maraoka tamin'ity herinandro ity fa hakatony ny ambasadiny any Venezoelà noho ny faneken'ity firenena ity an'i Repoblika Arabo Saharawi Demaokratika (SADR) ho firenena, Ilay faritra fantatra hoe “Sahara andrefana manko” die eo ambany fanapahan'i Maraoka. |
3 | Forty-eight countries recognize SADR, and thirteen of those are home to Saharawi embassies (see image below). | Firenena 48 no manaiky ny fijoroan'i SADR ary ny 13 amin'ireo dia manana ambasady Saharawi any aminy (jereo ny sary eto ambany). |
4 | Moroccan blogger Ibn Kafka provides a timeline of events between Morocco and Venezuela: | Ny mpamaham-bolongana Maraokana Ibn Kafka no mitantara ny fizotry ny tantara eo amin'ny fifandraisan'i Maraoka sy Venezoelà: |
5 | 3 August 1982: Venezuela recognizes the “Saharawi Arab Democratic Republic”, which has had an embassy in Caracas since - see its website (which is not very professional, but that's another matter). | Mahafantatra ny tsy fankamamiako loatra ny mpiendaka izay mamaky ahy, ary misy moa ny mitsikera ahy mandrakariva amin'izany. Tena amim-patsany tsara aho raha manolotra anareo ireto singam-baovao ireto, amin'ny endrika fanisan'andro. |
6 | 2 September 2004: Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez formally meets Abdelaziz el Marrakchi, leader of the separatists, and asserts the public support of the Government of the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela to the separatist cause. | 3 Aogositra 1982: Neken'i Venezoela ny fijoroan'ny “Repoblika Arabo Saharawi Demaokratika”, izay nanana ny ambasadiny teto Caracas hatramin'izany fotoana izany - jereo ny vohikalany (izay tsy dia matihanina loatra saingy lohahevitra hafa indray ny amin'izay). |
7 | 6 June 2008: a new Saharawi “ambassador” is accredited in Caracas, and is received by the Venezuelan Minister of Foreign Affairs to submit his “credentials.” 27 December 2008: Israel launches its war of aggression against Gaza. | 2 Septambra 2004: Nihaona tamin'ny lehiben'ny mpiendaka Abdelaziz el Marrakchi taminn'y fomba ofisialy ny filoha Venezoelana Hugo Chavez ka nanambarany ampahibemaso ny fanohanan'ny Repoblika Bolivariana ny mpiendaka. |
8 | 6 January 2009: President of the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela, Hugo Chavez, declares Israel's ambassador to Venezuela persona non grata, giving him 72 hours to leave the country. | 6 Jona 2008: Nekena ny hiasan'ny “ambasadera” Saharawi vaovao tany Caracas, ary noraisin'ny Minisitry ny raharaham-bahiny Venezoelana izy tamin'ny fandraisana ny taratasiny.” |
9 | 15 January 2009: a press release of the MAP [Maghreb Arabe Presse, Morocco's state news agency) says that Morocco has decided to sever diplomatic relations with Venezuela “in response to the open hostility displayed by that country with regard to Morocco's territorial integrity, undermining any effort bilateral cooperation efforts.” | 27 Desambra 2008: Nanafika an'i Gaza i Isiraela. 6 Janoary 2009: Nanambara ny filoha Bolivarianan'i Repoblikan'i Venezoelà, Hugo Chavez, olona “tsy tonga soa” (persona non grata) ny ambasaderan'i Isiraely any Venezoelà , ka nomeny fe-potoana 72 ora handaozany ny firenena. |
10 | The release adds: “The Bolivarian Republic has continued to openly display its hostility to Morocco, joining the call to action at the highest level of government, dealing a serious injury to the good relations between the two countries.” | 15 Janoary 2009: Nisy fanambarana an-gazety tao @ MAP [Maghreb Arabe Presse, Masoivohom-baovao-mpanjakana Maraokana] fa nanapaka ny fifandraisany tamin'i Venezoalà i Maraoka “ho valin'ny fihantsiana ataon'ity firenena ity manao izay hampizarazara ny sisitanin'i Maraoka, izay manimba ny ezaka fampandrosoana iarahan'ny roa tonta.” |
11 | All this was true, but the foundations of this Venezuelan attitude vis-à-vis the Sahara issue were laid between 1982 (date of recognition of the SADR by Venezuela) and June 2008 (date of last accreditation of an “ambassador” of the “SADR” in Venezuela). | Nampian'ny fanambarana fa: “tsy mitsahatra ny mihantsy ady amin'i Maraoka ny Repoblika Bolivariana, namadika ny kabariny ho asa hatrany amin'ny sehatra ambony indrindran'ny fanjakana izany, ary miteraka fahasimbana lehibe eo amin'ny fifandraisan'ny roa tonta.” |
12 | Morocco therefore reacts 27 years and 6 months too late, according to the criteria which we could choose to determine the moment that Venezuela might have “shown its hostility to the territorial integrity of Morocco.” Roads to Iraq ties the incident to Israel, saying: | Marina daholo izany, saingy ny fototry ny fihetsika nataon'i Venezoelà momba an'i Sahara dia efa hatramin'ny 1982 (daty naneken'i Venzoelà ny SADR) sy tamin'ny Jona 2008 (daty nanekena hisian'ny “ambasaderan'” i “SADR” tany Venezoelà). |
13 | Morocco cuts relations with Venezuela because the Latin-American country supports the Polisario, who are recognized by more than 64 countries in the world and Venezuela, had already relations with the Polisario since the 80s. | Izany hoe 27 taona sy 6 volana taty aoriana vao namaly i Maraoka, raha raisintsika ho masontsivana ny “nanehoan'i Venezoelà ny fikitikitihana ny tsy fisarasarahan'i Maraoka.” Roads to Iraq no nzampifandray ity raharaha ity amin'Isiraely, niteny hoe: |
14 | But if you read what Moroccan newspaper Attajdid wrote that Israel's exports to Morocco last year reached $19.6 Million, Morocco's exports to Israel about $3.6 Million, then you can understand the real reason. | Fa raha vakianao kosa ny nolazain'ny gazety maraokana Attajdid milaza fa mahatratra $19.600.000 ny entana naondran'i Isiraely teto Maraoka, ary tokotokony ho $3.600.000 kosa ny teti-bidin'ny entana naondran'i Maraoka tany Isiraely dia ho fantatrao ny tena antony. |
15 | Nimr of the Arab-American blog KABOBfest also raised the issue, and referring to how often Venezuelan embassies have turned up in the news lately, says: | Nimr avy ao amin'ny Bolongana Arabo-Amerikana KABOBfest no namoaka adihevitra ary nilaza fa nivoaboaka hatrany tao ho ao ny vaoao momba ny ambasady Venezoelana: |
16 | Well if you can dish it, hope you can take it: Now Morocco is closing its embassy in Caracas in protest over Venezuela's support for the Polisario: | |
17 | The Foreign Ministry said in a statement that the decision followed “increasing hostility by the Venezuelan authorities regarding the Kingdom of Morocco's territorial integrity and recent measures to support (Polisario)”. | Hoy ny filazan'ny minisiteran'ny raharaham-bahiny tao amin'ny fanambarana hoe” noho ny fitombon'ny fitiavan-kifanandrina ataon'ny fitondrana Venezoelana amin'ny tanin'ny Fanjakan'i Maraoka sy ny nandraisany fepetra hanohanany ny Polisario.” |
18 | Why do stern diplomatic communiques always sound like a passive-aggressive ex-girlfriend? | Fa maninona ny fanambarana diplaomatika no atao toy ny fanaon'ny sipa nisarahana niaritra lasa mihetraketraka? |
19 | “I mean, we are not mad at you, ya know? We are mad that you don't respect our, like, integrity…” | Ny tiako lazaina dia hoe tsy ianao no tsy tiako, fantatrao izany; fa noho ny tsy fanajanao anay, ny tianay…” |
20 | Fortunately, Kabob Mediation Services™ has stepped up and figured out a solution to everyone's benefit. | Soa ihany fa efa nametrapetraka sy nanazava ny vahaolana hahazoan'ny rehetra tombotsoa ny Kabob Mediation Services™ . |
21 | Morocco, Israel and Morocco have all agreed that in the event of a future diplomatic row, participants will simply hurl metallic devices devices at the French. | |
22 | Egyptian blogger Zeinobia is perplexed by Morocco's timely decision: Mentioning the news of official Morocco , why did really the Moroccan government withdraw its ambassador from Carcass ?? | Efa nifanaraka amin'ny fiarahana diplaomatika i Maraoka, I Isiraely sy Maraoka, hampikotaba ny zavamameno vy amam-barahina (@ frantsay) fotsiny ny mpandray anjara. |
23 | Is it really for the Western Sahara issue !!?? | Variana @ fotoana anapahan'i Maraoka fanapahan-kevitra ny mpamaham-bolongana Egyptiana Zeinobia: |
24 | Well I think it is plain stupid now with my all respect because Venezuela has recognized the Western Sahara since 1982 !!!! So I wonder why King Hassan II did not withdraw his ambassador from Carcass all that time. | Mihevitra aho fa fahadalana tanteraka izany, miala tsiny amin'ny fitenenana, satria efa hatramin'ny 1982 no nanakeken'i Venezoalà an'i Sahara andrefana ho firenena Koa eritrereto hoe naninona ny mpanjaka Hassan II no tsy nampody ny masoivohony tany Caracas nandritra izay fotoana maharitra izay. |
25 | Surely Carcass is not the only capital that recognize the Western Sahara as an independent entity. For God sake there are other countries in the world that recognize the Sahrawi Arab Democratic Republic “SADR”. | Mazava loatra fa tsy Caracas ireryihany no renivohitra nanaiky an'i Sahara andrefana ho firenena mahaleo tena. oadray misy koa ireo firenena hafa izay manaiky ny fijoroan'ny “SADR”. |
26 | Strangely these countries are still having Moroccan Embassies like for instance Mexico so why now Mohamed IV decides this strange decision when Venezuela becomes the new ally of Arabs in South America ?? | Mahagaga anefa fa mbola misy masoivoho any amin'ireny firenena ireny tahaka an'i Meksika ohatra, koa nahoana no nanapa-kevitra hafahafa tahaka izao i Mohamed iV raha lasa sakaiza vaovaon'ny Arabo any Amerika atsimo i Venezoalà?? |
27 | In time we are in a very bad need to an ally. | Amin'ny fotoana tena ilana namana. |
28 | I still do not get this move at all. | Tena tsy azoko mihitsy izao fihetsiketsehana izao. |
