1 | Growing Military Repression in Madagascar | Tsy mitsaha-mitombo ny fanakatsakanana ataon'ny miaramila any Madagasikara |
2 | While more protests have erupted in Madagascar and were repressed severely by armed forces, the members of the transitional government of Madagascar have been hard at work explaining the circumstances of their rise to power to the international community. | Raha tsy mitsaha-mitombo manerana an'i Madagasikara ny tsy fankasitrahana ny governemanta vaovao kanefa sakanan'ny miaramila izany, dia miasa mafy kosa ireo mpikambana ao amin'ity governemanta ity manazava ny fandehan-javatra rehetra nahatongavan'izy ireo teo amin'ny fitondrana amin'ny fikambanam-be iraisam-pirenena. |
3 | The recent reversal of the high constitutional court (HCC) decision on the illegitimacy of the power transfer (fr) seems to have caught the transitional government by surprise and was what most likely led to the arrest of the head of security at the HCC. | Ny fiovan-kevitra tampoka teo amin'ny fanapahan-kevitra noraisin'ny HCC (Fitsarana Avo momba ny Lalàm-panorenana) ny amin'ny maha-ara-dalàna ny famindrana fahefana no sarangotin'ny governemanta tetezamita ary nahatonga ny fisamborana ny lehiben'ny mpiambina ity andrim-panjakana ity. |
4 | Representatives of the UN security council and the African Union are meeting for a “Madagascar contact group” in Addis Ababa to ensure that the nations take a common position in pushing for a return to constitutional order in Madagascar. | Solon-tena avy ao amin'ny Firenena Mikambana momba ny filaminana sy ny Firaisam-be Afrikana no namorona ny atao hoe “Madagascar Contact Group” tany Addis Ababa mba hanome antoka fa ny firenena maro dia mampiaram-peo ny amin'ny tokony hiverenana amin'ny lalàm-panorenana. |
5 | Although each Malagasy political party announced that they had representatives present at the meeting, it turns out that none of the opposition parties were present during the decision-making process meeting. | Milaza ny antoko politika tsirairay avy fa nanana solontena tamin'izany fivoriana izany, kanefa tsy nanatrika izany kosa ny antoko mpanohitra. |
6 | In the meantime, former president Marc Ravalomanana, in exile in South Africa, appointed a new prime minister, Mandandafy Rakotonirina, to form a new government, in effect disputing the legitimacy of the transitional government. | Nandritra izany rehetra izany dia nanendry praiministra vaovao ny filoha teo aloha Ravalomanana, izay mialokaloka any Afrika Atsimo, dia i Manandafy Rakotonirina ary handrafitra governemanta vaovao, izay mifandrirotra amin'ny maha ara-dalàna ny governemanta tetezamita. |
7 | A few days after Rakotonirina listed the new members of his cabinet, he and his acquaintances were arrested by the security forces on charges of “illegally declaring himself as prime minister, vandalism & possessing weapons”. | Andro vitsivitsy taty aoriana dia nanendry ireo mpikambana tao amin'ny kabinetrany Andriamatoa Rakotonirina, ary nosamborin'ny miaramila izy sy ireo olona mpanara-dia azy noho ny “fanosoran-tena ho praiministra, fanakorontanana ary fitazonana fitaovam-piadiana”. |
8 | Malagasy bloggers were quick to react news of the arrest: | Avy hatrany dia naneho ny heviny tamin'iny fisamborana iny ny mpitoraka bilaogy Malagasy: |
9 | Rakotonirina arrested by Commander Andrianasoavina via andrydago.wordpress.com | Rakotonirina nosamborin'ny Commandant Andrianasoavina via andrydago.wordpress.com |
10 | Malagasy blogger, andrydago posts photos and describes the circumstances of the arrest of Rakotonirina in details and wonders whether the military thinks that this arrest will put an end to the movement. | Ilay mpitoraka bilaogy, andrydago no nandefa sary sy nilaza ny fandehan-javatra tamin'ny nisamborana an-dRakotonirina Manandafy amin'ny antsipiriany ary manontany tena raha iny fisamborana iny no hampijanona ny fihetsiketsehana. |
11 | Avylavitra posts the video of the arrest on his blog: | Avylavitra nandefa sary mihetsika mitahiry ny fisamborana tao amin'ny bilaoginy : |
12 | Jentilisa describes and transcribes what is happening on the video: | Jentilisa kosa no manoritsoritra ny zava-nitranga rehetra tao amin'ilay sary mihetsika: |
13 | Commander Charles Randrianasoavina is the one who leads the arrest. | Efa tsy zoviana intsony fa ny Komandà Charles Randrianasoavina no nitarika ny miaramila hisambotra ireto mpitari-tolona ireto. |
14 | You can see him grabbing the shirt of prime minister Manandafy and boasts to say: “you are mine starting today ! | Io Komand io no nitazona tamin'ny vozon'akanjony ny praiminisitra Manandafy sady niedinedina hatrany niteny hoe : “Ahy ialahy manomboka androany! |
15 | You are mine starting today” | Ahy ialahy manomboka androany!”. |
16 | The transitional government justifies the arrest by saying that Manandafy Rakotinirina is charged with illegitimately declaring himself prime minister, instigating the destruction of property and illegal possession of firearms. | Manamarina iny fisamborana iny ny governemanta tetezamita ary nilaza fa i Manandafy dia enjehina satria nitonon-tena ho praiministra tsy ara-dalàna, nandranitra fanimbana fananana ary nitazona fitaovam-piadiana tsy ara-dalàna. |
17 | A video taken the day after shows an assigned to residence Rakotonirina with bruises on his face. | Ny sary mihetsika nalaina ny andro manaraka iny tao amin'ny toerana nitazonana an-dRakotonirina no mampiseho fa mangana ny tarehiny. |
18 | The instances of dubious actions by the military forces are not limited to the excessive use of force during arrest. | Iny fotoana fisamborana nataon'ny miaramila iny dia tsy nijanona tamin'ny fanraraotana fampiasana hery ihany akory. |
19 | Many bloggers report that armed personnel are roaming around in the city in 4X4 vehicles and shooting in the air to intimidate passersby. | Mpitoraka bilaogy maro no nilaza fa nahita olona nirongo fitaovam-piadiana nihaodihaody manodidina ny toerana nanaovana ny fisamborana, nandeha 4×4 ary nanao tifi-danitra hampitahorana ireo mpandalo. |
20 | Solofo posts photos of a vehicle showing a man with a rifle standing outside the car window following a military truck full of armed soldiers. | Nandefa sary maromaro i Solofo, sary mampiseho fiara iray misy olona milanja basy mamoaka ny lohany ety ivelan'ny fitaratra manaraka fiara iray feno miaramila mirongo fitaovam-piadiana. |
21 | Vola, in the comment section of the post, writes that the head of the army explains thusly the cause of death of 2 protesters: | I Vola kosa ao amin'ny fanamarihana nataony, no nanoratra fa nanazava ny anton'ny fahafatesana olona 2 mpanao fihetsiketsehana ny lehiben'ny tafika: |
22 | They got hit by cars during the skirmish [..] this Noel Rakotonandrasana has got some sense of humor, doesn't he ? | Nidona tamin'ny fiara izy ireo nandritra ny fifanjevoana. Nampihomehy iny filazana nataon'i Noel Rakotondrasana iny. |
23 | Listen to the end of the [RFI] interview | Henoy ny filazan'ny RFI any amin'ny farany. |
24 | Another instance of abuse of power by the military can be found in the ongoing case of Razily. | Fanararaotam-pahefana hafa koa no nataon'ny miaramila tamin'ny nisamborana an-dRazily. |
25 | Razily is the young man who marched towards the armed forces carrying a flag and who was arrested on the spot for flag theft. | Razily ilay tovolahy iray nitondra ny sainam-pirenena namakivaky irery ny andiana miaramila ary nosamborina niaraka tamin'ny saina nentiny. |
26 | Ethan Zuckerman explains the background behind Razily ‘s story. | Mampahatsiahy antsika ny tantaran-dRazily i Ethan Zuckerman. |
27 | A petition has been created to demand that the armed forces provide updates on the status of Razily and a time frame for his trial date. | Misy fanangona-tsonia natao hangatahana ny miaramila hijery akaiky ny momba an-dRazily ary hanafaingana ny fotoam-pitsarana azy. |
28 | The petition has already gathered a few signatures and has been relayed by a few twitter users: | Efa nahavory sonia vitsivitsy izy ity ary efa aparitak'ireo mpikirakira twitter: |
29 | twitter users concerned about Razily's fate | Ireo mpikirakira twitter miresaka ny momba an-dRazily Lova Rakotomalala |
