1Cameroon: Questions and Doubts Over Upcoming ElectionKamerona : Afaka Hifidy Ve Isika Amin'ny Alahady Izao?
2This post is part of our special coverage Cameroon Elections 2011.
3On October 9, 2011, Cameroonians will be called on for the sixth time in their country's history to choose a president for the Republic.Ny Alahady 9 oktobra ho avy izao, fanineniny eo amin'ny tantaran-dry zareo no antsoina daholo ireo Kamerone rehetra mba hifidy izay ho filohan'ny repoblikany.
4The election is characterized by the large number of both candidates and voters - more than 7 million [fr] of the latter in Cameroon and abroad - and by questions about the practices of ELECAM, the commission responsible for organizing the elections.Fifidianana iray hiavaka noho ny hamaroan'ny mpirotsaka ho fidiana ary ny mpifidy, maherin'ny 7 tapitrisa, na izay ao Kamerona ihany, na any ivelany, ary ireo fanontaniana mipetraka momba ny fihetsika asehon'ny Elecam, kaomisiona iray nampiandraiketina ny fandrindrana ny fifidianana.

6This election will certainly leave its mark on Cameroon's history, thanks to the government's abundant efforts to enable all Cameroonians, even those in the diaspora [fr], to make their voices heard in this election.0 Ity fifidianana ity mazava loatra, no hanamarika ny tantaran'i Kamerona, tsy noho ny isan'ny mpirotsaka voasoratra anarana, betsaka tokoa, fa noho ny ezaka nataon'ny governemanta mba hahafahan'ny Kamerone rehetra, eny fa hatramin'ireo ampielezana, mba ho afaka hampandre ny feony mandritra io fifidianana io.
7The number of polling stations has been increased, as outlined in the national bilingual daily paper Cameroon Tribune [fr]:Araka izany, ho an'ireo mpifidy maherin'ny 7 tapitrisa andrasna, dia nampitomboina ny isan'ny birao fandatsaham-bato, araka ny anipihan'ny gazetim-pirenena mpiseho isan'andro mivoaka amin'ny tenim-pirenena roa ao an-toerana, Cameroun Tribune:
8The poll stations will be divided between 24,670 polling stations, that is 24,591 on the national territory and 79 open stations in Cameroon's diplomatic and consular missions which must accommodate the election.Izy rehetra ireo dia haparitaka aminà biraom-pifidianana 24.670, izany hoe 24 591 ao anatiny, ary 79 sokafana any ivelan'ny firenena amin'ireny masoivoho diplaomatika sy kaonsilin'i Kamerona ireny izay tsy maintsy mandray io fifidianana io.
9But beyond these nice initiatives many doubts still persist about the election's organization, for at less than a week before election day, much remains to be done.Saingy, lavitra an'ireo ezaka maha-te-hidera ireo, betsaka ny fisalasalàna mbola mitoetra foana mikasika ny fikarakarana ity fifidianana ity. Satria, herinandro monja mialoha ny andro farany, mbola betsaka no tokony hatao.
10For example, the electoral roll, published on September 21, raises many doubts about its authenticity, as Nicolas Vounsia writes in a Mutations article reposted by information site Cameroon-Info.net [fr]:Ohatra, ny lisi-pifidianana naseho vahoaka tamin'ny 21 sptambra lasa teo dia miteraka ahiahy maro ny maha-ara-dalàna azy, araka izay anipihan'i Nicolas Vounsia avy ao amin'ny gazety Mutations azy, naverin'ny tranonkalam-baovao Cameroon Info.net navoaka toy izao :
11Despite ELECAM's efforts to tidy up the electoral roll, some people are still listed twice (duplicated names with the same parentage on different lists) but with different national identity card numbers and polling stations.Na teo aza ny ezaka fanadiovana n y lisi-pifidianana nataon'ny Elecam, misy ny olona sasany mahita ny anarany voasoratra in-droa miaraka amin'ny mombamomba azy anaty lisitra samihafa. Nefa miaraka aminà laharan-karapanondro sy laharana birao fandatsaham-bato hafa.
12This deception is clearly visible on some of the displayed electoral lists.Izany hosokosoka izany dia hita mivandravandra amin'ny lisi-pifidianana sasany natao peta-drindrina.

15The other challenge regards polling cards.Ny olana iray hafa dia mikasika ny kara-pifidianana.
16Whilst already available at some local branches of ELECAM [fr] and whilst some voters are gradually taking possession of theirs, it turns out that none the less [fr], getting one's polling card is quite another story for other people, as stated [fr] by Georges Ndenga on Africa-Info website:Raha efa vonona izany ho an'ny sampana Elecam (andrim-panjakana natao handrindra ny fifidiananao Kamerona) any amin'ny kaominina sasany ary efa azon'ireo mpifidy ny maka ny azy ho any aminy, araka ny anipihan'ity bilaogera vavy ity azy, dia mbola tantara hafa ihany koa io resaka fakàna ny kara-pifidianana io ho an'ny hafa, araka ny anamafisan'i Georges Ndenga azy ao amin'ny Africa-Info:
17What looked like a mere formality, is increasingly turning into a nightmare, as much for the electors-to-be as for the ELECAM officials […] All ELECAM offices got stormed after the beginning of polling cards distribution was announced.Izay noheverina ho fomba fanao tsotra fotsiny, dia nivadika ho nofy ratsy, na izany ho an'ireo mpifidy mavesa-danja, na ho an'ireo olom-panjakana ao amin'ny Elecam […] Totottra olona ny biraon'ny Elecam vntany vao nambara ny fanombohan'ny fizarana ny kara-pifidianana.
18The lists posted on the walls of some local authorities became illegible because of bad weather, with the ink becoming thinned down by the rain.Ireo lisitra natao peta-drindrina tany amin'ireo faritry ny kaominina sasany, noho ny oram-batravatra, dia nanjary tsy hay vakiana, ny ranomainty natankoson'ny ranon'orana.
19At this level, you are requested to submit the receipt of registration instead of writing down your first and last names on a scrap of paper, in order to query the computer whether you are registered and in which polling station, before launching the search of your card.Hatreo amin'io fetra io, angatahana aminao ny tapakila nisoratanao anarana raha tsy izany dia soratana eo aminà taratasy kely ny anarana sy fanampin'anaranao mba hahafahana mikaroka ao anaty solosaina hahafantarana raha tena voasoratra anarana tokoa ianao ary aiza ny biraom-pifidianana tokony hisy anao mba hanombohana ny fitadiavana ny karatrao.
20To cope with the crowds, one or two officers are seeing you, but only one is operating the search on the computer, and as hours go by, the queue gets longer and the argument heats up.Manoloana ny fibosesehan'ny olona, mpiasa iray na roa no mandray anao saingy ny iray ihany no tena manatanteraka ny fikarohana ao anaty solosaina ary arakaraky ny andehanan'ny ora no itomboan'ny filaharana ihany koa ary dia miakatra ny feo.
21Abuse, threatening and clamour follow between citizens and officials.Niainga ny teny ratsy, ny fifandrahonana ary ny vazavaza teo amin'ireo mpila raharaha sy ireo mpiasam-panjakana.
22Only the presence of a policeman in uniform, weapon slung over his shoulder, is able to prevent a clash.Ny fisian'ny polisy iray nanao fanamiana sy nitondra fitaovam-piadiana no hany tokana nahafahana nisoroka ny fifandonana.
23However, one big question remains: where to vote?
24Less than a week ahead of this election, excepted for the Cameroonians abroad [fr], many citizens still do not know which polling station they will have to go to in order to cast their vote, as no map of the polling stations has been made available so far.Na izany aza, ny fanontaniana goavana mitohy apetraky ny olon-drehetra dia ny fahafantarana hoe : aiza isika no handeha hifidy ? Iray herinandro monja mialoha ity fifidianana ity, afa-tsy ireo any ivelany, maro irao Kamerone tsy mbola mahafantatra foana ny birao tokony handatsahany vato amin'io andro io, tsy mbola misy sarintanin'ireo biraom-pifidianana azo jerena aloha hatreto.
25The other unknown factor is the possible impact of the numerous calls [fr] to boycott [fr] this election, which have been issued hither and thither [fr] all year round.Ny singa iray tsy mbola fantatra dia ny ho akon'ireo antso marobe tsy handehanana hifidy [en anglais] amin'ity fifidianana ity nalefa tetsy sy teroa nandritra ny taona.
