4 | On Saturday, around 1,500 people set off from the climate camp in Germany's Rhineland early in the morning to try and enter the open-pit lignite mine of Garzweiler and block the massive excavators. | Olona manodidina ny 1500 no niainga vao maraimbe indray asabotsy tao amin'ny tobim-piarovana toetrandro ao amin'ny faritr'i Rhineland ao Alemaina mba hiezaka hitsofoka ao amin'ny banja an-kalamanjana fitrandrahana linita (arintan-javamaniry mbola niofo tsara) an'ny Garzweiler ary hanakana ireo fiara goavambe mpitrongy tany marobe. |
5 | Utility company RWE's lignite mines and power plants in the Rhineland are the biggest source of CO2 emissions in Europe. | Ny fitrandrahana linita sy ny tobin'herinaratra an'ny orinasa RWE ao Rhineland no mpamoaka gazy karbonika CO2 betsaka indrindra ao Eoropa. |
6 | Three of the five most polluting power plants in Europe are located there. | Miorina ao avokoa ny telo amin'ireo tobin'herinaratra dimy mpandoto tontolo iainana indrindra ao Eoropa. |
7 | The German government recently scrapped plans to put a levy on CO2 from the most polluting lignite plants. | Vao haingana ny fitondrana Alemàna no nitsoa-pahana tamin'ny tetikasa fametrahana hetra amin'ny etona CO2 vokarin'ireo toby mpitrandraka linita mpandoto tontolo iainana be indrindra. |
8 | Instead it adopted a ‘capacity reserve' proposed by the big lignite operators RWE and Vattenfall, which makes consumers and taxpayers pay polluters to put some plants on standby and falls short of the emission cuts needed. | Ary ny nataony indray ary dia ny nandraisana ny fanapahan-kevitra natolotr'ireo mpandraharaha goavana amin'ny fitrandrahana linita avy ao amin'ny RWE sy ny Vattenfall hanao ny ‘tahirim-patra' indray no nataony, izay mametraka indray ireo mpanjifa sy ny mpandoa hetra handoa vola amin'ireo mpandoto tontolo iainana amin'ny fampiatoana ny toby sasantsasany hampihenana araka ny nilaina ny famoahana etona. |
9 | People from all over Europe who are no longer prepared to watch politicians fail to take action on climate change travelled to the Rhineland to join an act of mass civil disobedience saying ‘here and no further' or ‘Ende Gelände'. | Niainga avy any amin'ny toerana misy azy avy any ny olona manerana an'i Eoropa izay tsy vonona intsony hijery ireo mpanao politika tsy mahavita mandray fepetra momba ny fikorontanan'ny toetr'andro ka nirohotra tany Rhineland hanatevin-daharana ny hetsika tsy fankatoavan'ny sivily marobe milaza hoe ‘hatreto tsy mitohy intsony' na ‘Ende Gelände' . |
10 | The activists split into groups approaching the mine from different sides. | Nizara isam-bondrona maromaro ireo mpikatroka nanatona ny toby avy amin'ny vazantany rehetra ahafahana mitsofoka ao. |
11 | To get to the mine, they had to get past a motorway and various police lines. | Tsy maintsy mandalo lalambe sy toerana isan-karazany misy polisy ny fidirana ao amin'ny toby fitrandrahana. |
12 | There were 1,000 police on site, in addition to RWE's private security service. | Nahitana polisy 1.000 teny an-toerana, ankoatra ireo mpiambina manokan'ny RWE . |

14 | In places, the police response to the activists committed to non-violence was disproportionate with immediate massive use of pepper spray and batons. | Tao an-toerana, tsy mifandanja tamin'ny nataon'ireo mpikatroka nivonona tsy hanao herisetra ny fihetsiky ny polisy, satria nampiasa tifitra ranon-dipoavatra sy vely kibay variraraka avy hatrany ny polisy. |
15 | The activists remained peaceful and sought to de-escalate. | Nilamina anefa ireo mpikatroka ary nikasa mbola hiverina hiditra indray |

17 | Two climbers suspended from a bridge across the motorway to temporarily block it, which allowed the final group that had not yet managed to get past to cross it safely. | Mpihanika roa no nihantona tao amin'ny tetezana iray miampita lalambe iray mba hanakanana vonjimaika ny lalana ahafahan'ny vondrona farany tsy nila niezaka be mba hafahana miampita milamina.

19 | Around 1,000 people were able to enter the mine forcing RWE to stop the diggers. | Olona manodidina ny 1.000 teo no tafiditra tao amin'ny toby fitrandrahana ary nanery ny RWE hampitsahatra ireo mpitrongy tany. |
20 | The Bagger 228 diggers are 220 metres long and the world's biggest land vehicles. | 220 metatra ny halavan'ireo Bagger 228 mpitrongy tany ary anisan'ny fiara an-tanety goavana indrindra manerantany izany. |
21 | One group managed to climb onto one of the diggers, other groups were surrounded by police where they remained for hours with the diggers around them out of action. | Sary: Ruben Neugebauer Nahavita nihanika tamin'ny iray tamin'ireo mpitrongy tany ireo ny vondrona iray, ny vondrona hafa kosa voahodidin'ny polisy ka nijanona tao nandritra ny ora maro miaraka amin'ireo mpitrongy tany tsy miasa manodidina azy ireo. |
22 | Operations in the mine came to a complete halt with the conveyor belts stopped. | Niato tanteraka niaraka tamin'ny fampanajanonana ireo milina mpanisaka tany ny asa tao amin'ny toby fitrandrahana. |
23 | Journalists were removed from the site. | Noesorina teo amin'ny toerana ireo mpanao gazety . |
24 | Of all fossil fuels, lignite has the worst impact on the climate. | Amin'ireo solika fandrehitra milevina ambanin'ny tany dia ny linita no misy fiantraikany ratsy indrindra eo amin'ny toetrandro. |
25 | Local resistance against water and air pollution from the coal fields, the forced displacement of entire communities and environmental destruction is strong. | Mahery ny fanoheran'ny mponina ao an-toerana ny fandotoana ny rano sy ny rivotra avy amin'ny fitrandrahana arintany, ny famindram-ponenana an-katerena nahazo ny fokonolona iray manontolo sy ny famotehana ny tontolo iainana. |
26 | Over the last three years, grassroots activists have repeatedly occupied the Hambach forest to stop it being cut down for the expansion of the mines. | Nandritra ny telo taona farany, imbetsaka nibodo ny alan'i Hambach hampitsaharana ny fikapàna azy hanitarana ny toby fitrandrahana ireo mpikatroka eny ifotony. |
27 | It took the police a long time to remove the activists. | Nandany fotoana ela ny polisy tamin'ny fanesorana ireo mpikatroka. |
28 | They collaborated with RWE's private security service and used RWE's vehicles that can enter the mine. | Niara-niasa tamin'ireo mpiambina manokana ny RWE izy ireo ary nampiasa ny fiaran'ny RWE izay afaka miditra ao amin'ny toby fitrandrahana. |
29 | In the afternoon, 800 people joined a solidarity protest outside the mine. | Ny tolakandro, olona 800 no nanatevin-daharana ny fihetsiketseham-piraisankina teo ivelan'ny toby fitrandrahana. |
30 | By the evening, all activists had left or had been removed from the mine and 240 were taken to local police stations. | Nandao ny toerana na noesorina tao amin'ny toby fitrandrahana mialoha ny filentehan'ny masoandro ireo mpikatroka rehetra ary miisa 240 ireo nentina tany amin'ny biraon'ny polisy ao an-toerana. |
31 | Everyone who took part in the action was released that night. | Navotsotra ny alina ihany ireo rehetra nandray anjara tamin'ny hetsika. |
32 | RWE announced it is considering to file 797 charges for trespassing. | Nanambara ny RWE fa mikasa hametraka fitoriana 797 noho ny fidirana antsokosoko tao aminy. |
33 | People returned to the camp in good spirits, even though several were injured by pepper spray and batons. | Niverina tao amin'ny tobiny tamim-pifaliana ny olona na dia maro aza ireo naratra tamin'ny tifitra ranon-tsakay sy vely kibay. |
34 | Many of those that joined have taken part in an act of civil disobedience for the first time. | Sambany nandray anjara tamin'ny hetsika tsy fankatoavan'ny sivily ny maro tamin'ireo nanatevin-daharana ny hetsika. |
35 | One participant came back from the action saying that for the first time in his life, he felt truly powerful. | Mpandray anjara iray avy namonjy ny hetsika nilaza fa sambany teo amin'ny fiainany izao ary nahatsiaro ho mahazo hery tanteraka izy. |
