15 | She writes: | Nanoratra izy hoe: |
16 | Finally a big boss in civilian clothes shows up. | Farany nivoaka avy any ny lehibe iray nanao fitafian'olon-tsotra. |
17 | He wants to “teach me a lesson” as he said. | Te “hampianatra lesona ahy izy” araka ny filazany. |
18 | He asks that I be put on the median in the middle of the street. | Niteny izy ny hametrahana ahy eo amin'ny faritra manasaka ny arabe. |
19 | Then he turned the entire water cannon truck on for my personal benefit. | Avy eo natodiny manontolo ho aty amiko ny kamiao mitondra tafondro-drano. |
20 | Note my two fists up in a victory symbol under the water cannon. | Mariho ny totohondriko roa manao mariky ny fandresena miatrika ny tafondro-drano. |
21 | That's the lesson I learnt. | Izany ny lesona nianarako. |
22 | The power is within us. | Ao anatintsika ny hery. |
23 | No amount of violence and hysteria can remove it. | Tsy misy herisetra na hadalana afaka hanala izany. |
24 | The icing on the cake is that as we choked and burned from the chemicals on the water, they then asked us to climb onto their truck. | Ambonin'izany rehetra izany dia tahaka ny hoe nokendaina sy nodorana izahay noho ny fangaro simika tamin'ny rano, ary nangataka anay hiakatra ao anaty kamiao izy. |
25 | As we climbed up, with our backs turned, they hit us with their clubs. | Raha niakatra izahay, dia nokapohiny tamin'ny kibay ny lamosinay. |
26 | The only feeling I had was sadness that those whom you and I's taxes pay to protect us show such extreme cowardice and meanness. | Ny fihetsehampo tokana reko dia ny alahelo fa ireo nandoavako sy nandoavanao hetra no nampiseho izao fieboeboana amin'ny tsy antony sy fahambanian-toetra tafahoatra tahaka izao. |
27 | After climbing onto the truck they let us catch our breaths then set us free. | Rehefa avy niakatra tao anaty kamiao dia navelany hifoka rivotra izahay ary avy eo nalefany. |
28 | What was the point of climbing onto the truck? Just so they could beat our backs? | Inona no antony nampiakarana tao amin'ny kamiao? mba hivelezana ny lamosinay fotsiny? |
29 | Sad. | Mampalahelo. |
30 | Military was deployed in different parts of Douala. | Naparitaka nanerana ny faritr'i Douala ireo miaramila. |

33 | Interview with Kah Walla | Resadresaka natao tamin'i Kah Walla |
34 | In the following interview, Kah Walla shares her thoughts on the political and social situation in Cameroon, and the possibility for an “Egypt Like” revolution. | Ao anatin'ny resadresaka, dia nizara ny heviny momba ny toe-draharaha politika sy sosialy eto Kamerona i Kah Walla, ary ny ahazoana manao revolisiona “mitovy ny tao Egypta” . |
35 | She says the protests that began on February 23 are the beginning of a political process which is headed in the right direction: | Nanambara izy fa ny fihetsiketsehana izay natomboka ny 23 febroary dia fanombohan'ny zotra politika izay mankany amin'ny tena lalany: |
36 | Although she thinks that Cameroonians have entered a new “process” the female politician doesn't think that the time for an “Egypt Like” revolution has come. | Na dia mihevitra aza izy fa niditra “zotra” vaovao ny Kameroney, tsy nieritreritra ilay vehivavy mpanao politika fa tonga ny fotoanan'ny revolisiona “mitovy ny tao Egypta” . |
37 | Her movement mainly wanted to show through this action that people should and can demonstrate in spite of “huge repressive force”: | Ny tena tadiavin'ny fikambanany aseho tamin'ny alalan'iny fihetsika iny dia hoe ny vahoaka dia tokony hanao fihetsiketsehana ary mahavita izany na dia eo aza ny “hamaroan'ny herim-pamoretana”: |
38 | Africanews website also reports that other political figures were arrested, like Member of Parliament Jean Michel Nintcheu, Deputy of Douala. | Nitatitra ny tranokalan'ny Africanews fa nisy mpanao politika hafa voasambotra, tahaka ny mpikambana Parlemantera Jean Michel Nintcheu, solombavabahoakan'i Douala. |
39 | Kah Walla further explains that she and her organisation are not calling for Paul Biya, President of Cameroon since 1982, to step down; but that they wish to foster a “systemic change” in the country: | Nanome fanazavana fanampiny i Kah Walla fa izy sy ny fikambanany dia tsy niantso an'i Paul Biya, Filohan'ny Kamerona nanomboka ny taona 1982, hametra-pialàna; fa mikasa kosa ny hampandroso ny “fanovana ny rafitra” ao amin'ny firenena: |
40 | According to the presidential candidate, in spite of the violence endured, in spite of arrests, many Cameroonians are more determined than ever to put an end to this system: | Araky ny hevitry ny kandidà hirotsaka hofidiana filoham-pirenena,na dia teo aza ny herisetra niaretana, na dia teo aza ny fisamborana, maro ireo Kamerona resy lahatra ny hamarana io rafitra io: |
