3 | Monday March 14, 2011, was a busy day in Côte d'Ivoire, and also on the country's blogosphere and Twittersphere. | Nafana ny andro Alatsinainy 14 martsa tao Côte d'Ivoire ary koa teo amin'ny tontolon'ny bilaogy sy ny tontolon'ny Twitter. |
4 | After violence this past weekend in the Abobo district of southerly economic capital Abidjan, Ivorians in the city were woken up by Kalashnikovs and heavy artillery in the Yopougon district caused by the outgoing president Laurent Gbagbo's supporters. | Any Abidjan, taorian'ny herisetra tao amin'ny faritra Abobo tamin'ity herinandro ity, taitra tamin'ny torimasony ny Ivoarinina noho ny tifitra kalachnikov sy fitaovampiadina lehibe tao amin'ny faritra Yopougon, mandatehezan'i Laurent Gbagbo, filoha teo aloha [araka ny filazan'ny mpanoratra]. |
5 | The confrontation started in the district of Andokoi, where General Philippe Mangou‘s [fr] residence is located. Mangou was named chief of the armed forces by Gbagbo, a situation that has been enough to re-ignite controversy surrounding the General. | Nanomboka ny fifandonana tao amin'ny faritr'i Andokoi izay misy ny trano fonenan'ny Général de Corps d'Armée Philippe Mangou , Lehiben'ny Etamazaoron'ny Tafika (CEMA) notendren'i Laurent Gbagbo. |

9 | Where is the General? The website ConnectionIvoirienne [fr] set off the speculation on Twitter on March 14: | Nanamafy izany ny tranonkala ConnectionIvoirienne raha nanambara ny Twitter hoe: |
10 | @connectionivoir: Côte d'Ivoire's Mangou is neither touring barracks nor is he at the staff headquarters, soldiers were complaining: After verification…http://bit.ly/dOlT2q | Côte d'Ivoire, i Mangou sady tsy nandeha niasa any amin'ny toby no tsy ao amin'ny Etamazaoro, mimenomenona ny miaramila: Taorian'ny fanamarihana…http://bit.ly/dOlT2q |
11 | With the General neither at his house or touring barracks, rumors and questions spread as to his whereabouts on Twitter. | Raha tsy any an-tranony ny jeneraly, dia tsy misy olona mahafantatra izay misy mety misy azy amin'izao fotoana izao. |
12 | This is how Twitter user @MouhamedSY explains the situation [Twitter account currently inactive and direct tweet link unavailable]: | Ary ao amin'ny twitter, mandeha ny fanontaniana sy ny tsaho. Araka izany, nanambara @MouhamedSY fa: |
13 | @MouhamedSY: There is much manipulation, paranoia and deliberate spread of lies from both camps to do with #civ2010 [hashtag used for current unrest] notably about Mangou | Amin'ireo toby roa ireo, betsaka ny vaovao tsy marina, ny lainga, ny tetika maizimaizina sy ny fanondranondranana ao amin'ny#civ2010 indrindra ny momba an'i Mangou |
14 | In the evening of March 14, an appearance by the General in the African journal of Radio France International (RFI) [fr] was announced by Mike Miller (@R2D2V3) [fr] on Twitter: | Tamin'ny alina, Nolazain'i Mike Miller tao amin'ny vaovao Afrikan' ny Radio France Internationale ny jeneraly (@R2D2V3 tao amin'ny twitter) |
15 | @R2D2V3: #civ2010 Mangou on RFI at 18h30 (Source iTélé) | #civ2010 Mangou ao amin'ny RFI amin'ny enina sasany (Loharano iTélé) |
16 | Radio no-show Ivorians looking forward to the General's scheduled appearance were disappointed by a no-show, as described by Twitter user Andros Vacuna (@Androsvacuna) [fr]: | Miomana hijery ny tohin'ny vaovao ao amin'ny vaovao Afrikan'i RFI ireo mpiserasera ary ho mafy ny fahadisoam-panantenany: Momba an'i Philippe Mangou araka ny filazan'i Andros Vacuna |
17 | @Androsvacuna: #civ2010 No interview with Mangou at the 18H30 newscast on RFI. | #civ2010 tsy misy fanadihandina momban'i Mangou ao amin'ny vaovaon'ny RFI amin'ny enina sasany. |
18 | False information? | Vaovao diso? |
19 | @Justice JFK [fr] was also following the newscast: | Na koa hoe Justice JFK nijery ny vaovao |
20 | @Justice JFK: RFI evening newscast in progress: there is no mention of an interview with General Mangou. | RFI tamin'ny hariva: tsy nisy filazana ny fanadihadina momba nyJeneraly Mangou. |
21 | False alert from i-télé? | Fanairana tsy izy/ i-télé? |
22 | #civ2010 | #civ2010 |
23 | At the end of the radio newscast, communications adviser for Laurent Gbagbo, Alain Toussain (@toussaintalain) [fr] tried to reassure the Ivorian people [fr] via Twitter: | Tamin'ny faran'ny fandaharan'ny radio, Alain Toussain, mpanolo-tsaina serasera an'i Laurent Gbagbo niezaka nampanantena: |
24 | @toussaintalain: General Mangou, chief of the armed forces, still holds his position at the sides of president Laurent Gbagbo. | NyJeneraly Mangou, CEMA dia mbola eo amin'ny toerany ary eo akaikin'ny Filoha Laurent Gbagbo izy. |

26 | However, skeptics will ask for proof of this. @Camso2010 [fr] issues a call to see the General on a RTI (Radiodiffusion Télévision Ivoirienne - pro Gbagbo Ivorian television channel) [fr] show called LMP TV: | Nangataka porofo ireo tsy nino tamin'izay nolazain'ny mpanolo-tsain'i Gbagbo tamin'ny Camso2010 izay te-hahita ny Jeneraly ao amin'ny RTI (fahitalavitra ivoiriana mpanohana an'i Gbagbo) antsoina hoe LMP TV: |
27 | @Cams02010: @toussaintalain Show us Mangou on your LMPTV that is what will appease us! | @toussaintalain Asehoy izao i Mangou eo amin'ny LMPTV anao , hampangina anay izany ! |
28 | #civ2010 | #civ2010 |
29 | Gbagbo's lack of trust towards the Ivorian military is also adding to the confusion. | Mahatonga safotofoto ihany koa ny ahiahin'i Laurent Gbagbo manoloana ireo olona mitondra fitaovam-piadina sy ny fomba nandehanan'ny CEMA teo aloha. |
30 | @Jusice JFK‘s [fr] tweet gives an idea of what Laurent Gbagbo thinks of army generals: | Io tweet an'i Jusice JFK dia manome izay fiheveran'i Laurent Gbagbo an'ireo Jeneraly: |
31 | @Jusice JFK: JA2618: “A general; one minute they will stand at attention and the following minute they will carry out a coup against you” signed by Laurent Gbagbo #civ2010 | JA2618: “Ny Jeneraly, mampanao jery atrika anao izy, ny minitra manaraka, ahongany ianao” soniavin'i Laurent Gbagbo #civ2010 |
32 | In the evening of March 14, there were no new pictures of General Mangou during the evening television newscast of Laurent Gbagbo, which only accentuated the rumors and controversy. | Tamin'ny hariva, tsy nahitana sary farany an'i Philippe Mangou tao amin'ny vaovaon'ny fahitalavitr'i Laurent Gbagbo, ka nanamafy ny tsaho sy ny adihevitra tsy misy farany. . |
