1 | Pakistan: Do You Care About The Plights Of The Flood Victims? | Pakistan: Heverinao ve ny fangirifirian'ireo tra-boina tamin'ny tondra-drano? |
2 | Try this on Google: search ‘Pakistan flood' in English and you'd find around 21,400,000 results. | Andramo ity ao amin'ny Google ity: tadiavo ‘Tondra-drano any Pakistan amin'ny teny anglisy dia ho hitanao fa hahita valiny hatramin'ny 21 400 000 ianao. |
3 | But you would find only about 1,760,000 results when you search the keyword in Chinese. | Kanefa valiny 1 760 000 no ho hitanao raha mijery io teny fototra io amin'ny teny Sinoa ianao. |
4 | The difference in attention is striking. | Misy fiantraikany izany tsy fitoviana izany. |
5 | Is it possible to make the assumption that English-speaking people have bigger hearts to pity poor countries? | Angamba mety ho marina fa ny olona miteny anglisy dia manana fo antra manoloana ny firenena mahantra. |
6 | Just like Britain's Deputy Prime Minister Nick Clegg claimed on the 17th August, 2010 that Britain had taken a leading role in the relief effort and the international response to the devastating Pakistan floods was ‘absolutely pitiful'. | Ohatra fotsiny ny praiminisitra britanika Nick Clegg izay nanambara tamin'ny 17 aogositra 2010 fa i Grande Bretagne dia nandray andraikitra lehibe teo amin'ny ezaka fanampiana ary ny valin-kafatra nomen'ny firaisam-be iraisam-pirenena dia “mahonena tanteraka”. |
7 | The Sound of Hope, an international radio providing news concerning Asia, also agreed that UK as a country was inspiring other countries to offer more funds for the victims of Pakistan floods. | The Sound of Hope (Feon'ny Fanantenana), fampielezam-peo iraisam-pirenena mpamokatra vaovao mahakasika an'i Azia, koa dia manaiky fa i Grande Bretagne amin'ny maha firenena azy dia nanentana ny firenena hafa hanome fanampiana ho an'ny tra-boinan'ny tondra-drano any Pakistan. |

11 | But surprisingly, on Aug 19th a blogger called K^se mentioned in Pakistan Defense Forum that with $105m (£67m) in aid “Saudi Arabia has overtaken the US as the largest donor to Pakistan's flood relief and rehabilitation efforts. | Kanefa tsy nampoizina, tamin'ny 19 aogositra, mpitoraka bilaogy antsoina hoe K^se nanambara tao amin'ny Pakistan Defense Forum (Seraseran'ny Fiarovana any Pakistan) fa miaraka amin'ny 105 tapitrisa dôlara (67 tapitrisa livres) ho fanampiana an'i Pakistan dia i “Arabia Saodita no nihoatra an'i Etazonia ary izy no nanolotra fanampiana be indrindra ho an'ny fanarenana an'i Pakistan tondraky ny rano. |
12 | Britain is giving £31m, and the US is giving $76m in cash.” | Ny Britanika nanome 31 tapitrisa livres, ny Amerikana nanolotra lelavola 76 tapitrisa dôlara.” |
13 | Yet more perspectives are there on the internet arguing that those who ‘should' help haven't offered enough. | Efa ao amin'ny aterineto sahady ny fomba fijery izay mandresy lahatra fa ireo izay “tokony” hanampy dia tsy ampy ny nomeny. |
14 | Take for instance the quotes from the BBC News article “Who cares about Pakistan”, which state that Muslim countries need to do more in helping Pakistan. | Raha raisina ny voalaza tao amin'ny vaovaon'ny BBC hoe “Iza no hiraharaha an'i Pakistan”, izay mametraka fa ny firenena Silamo dia tokony hanome bebe kokoa hanampiana an'i Pakistan. |
15 | While the media was provoking countries on this issue, a quiet Chinese blogger defended his country on his blog: | Raha mihantsy ireo firenena rehetra amin'io resaka io ny fampahalalam-baovao, dia mpitoraka bilaogy Sinoa iray miaro ny fireneny ao amin'ny bilaoginy: |
16 | “It seems like nothing the 60 million RMB (about $1million) our government is donating comparing to others when China has the tightest relation with Pakistan. | “Ohatry ny hoe tsy misy dikany ny 60 tapitrisa RMB (1 tapitrisa dôlara) nomen'ny fanjakana sinoa raha ampitahaina amin'ny an'ny hafa raha matotra ny fifandraisana eo amin'ny Chine sy Pakistan. |
17 | Maybe Beijing knows how much problem we have in our country, or maybe it just knows Pakistan needs more substantial goods instead of cash.” | Angamba mahafantatra i Beijing joe tahaka ny ahoana ny olana ao amin'ny fireneny na angamba koa hoe fantany fa sakafo no ilain'i Pakistan noho ny lelavola”. |
18 | If there was a contest about ‘the kindest country of the world', maybe we could announce a winner by measuring each country by how much it has contributed to a particular relief fund. | Raha misy fifaninana mikasika ny “firenena tsara fanahy indrindra”, dia angamba azontsika hatao ny mitonona mpandresy anankiray avy amin'ny habetsahan'ny fanampiana natolony hamonjena tra-boina. |
19 | Based on Wikipedia stats, if we take a formula of a country's kindness= contribution for flood relief/ total nominal GDP2009, we come up with a result: The Saudi Arabia (0.0255) > UK (0.00458) > India (0.002) > Bangladesh (0.0019) > USA (0.0011) > China (0.0008). | Avy amin'ny fanisana Wikipedia, raha raisintsika ny raikipohy ny amin'ny firenena tsara fanahy = fanampiana azo tamin'ny tondra-drano/fitambaran'ny GDP2009, dia mahazo valiny tahaka izao isika: Arabia Saodita (0.0255) > Grande Bretagne (0.00458) > Inde (0.002) > Bangladesh (0.0019) > Etazonia (0.0011) > Chine (0.0008). |
20 | Even though it is obvious that this hypothesis was made for fun, it is still a wonderful example telling us: | Na dia natao handaniana andro fotsiny aza iny ohatra iny dia milaza amintsika fa: |
21 | Your country or your religion cannot make you a better person, and even though other counties might have certain problems such as corruption or terrorism, it doesn't make its people less of a human. | Tsy afaka manova anao ho olona tsaratsara kokoa ny firenenao na ny fivavahano, ary na dia manana olana aza ny firenena sasany tahaka ny hoe kolikoly sy asa fampihorohoroana, tsy afaka manova ny olona ao mainy hanjary tsy ho olona izy. |
22 | On 18 September the UN again launched an appeal for US$ 2 billion in aid to Pakistan, when not even 80% of the previous pledges ($460m) were actually delivered. | Tamin'ny 18 septambra dia nanao antso indray ny Firenena Mikambana hitadiavana 2 lavitrisa dôlara hanampiana an'i Pakistan, raha mbola vao ny 80% ny tokony ho nomena tamin'ny voalohany (460 tapitrisa) dôlara no tafavoaka hatreto. |
23 | It is unusual how slowly people responded to this issue. | Tsy mahazatra ny fihisaran'ny olona mamaly antso tahaka izao. |
24 | Perhaps this is because of what Dr. Elizabeth Ferris said at BBC news: “people are less likely to donate to any country seen as a haven for terrorism”. | Angamba vokatry ny zavatra notenenin'i Dokotera Elizabeth Ferris izay nilaza tao amin'ny vaovaon'ny BBC fa “malaina manome ny olona ho an'ny firenena lazaina fa fialofan'ny mpampihorohoro” |
25 | Fazal Mowla stands in front of his collapsed house in Faizabad village in Swat. | Ireto olona miantsoantso vonjeo ireto dia azo antoka fa tsy mpampihorohoro. |

27 | CC BY-NC-ND These people who are crying out loud for aid can't possibly all be terrorists, can they? | Oxfam Hong Kong nandefa fitehirizana sary nahitana sary 42 ao amin'ny Flickr, ny sary tsirairay jerena manatrika, ary ny tantarany ao ambadika. |
28 | Oxfam Hong Kong uploaded an album of 42 pictures on flickr, and each picture contains a face, and a story of gratitude behind. | |
29 | We need to stand together as human beings, as Saif Rana, a university student in Lahore, Pakistan said in an email which was posted in my own blog: | Tsy maintsy mijoro amin'ny maha olona antsika isika, araka ny nolazain'i Saif Rana, mpianatra ao amin'ny anjerimanontolo ao Lahore, Pakistan, ao amin'ny seramailaka nalefa tao amin'ny bilaoginy: |
30 | “It's a myth that countries are recognized on the basis of their leadership and policies that they made and decisions they take. | “Lasa fahazarana ny mahita fa ny firenena dia fantatra amin'ny alalan'ny fahaizany mitantara sy ny politika ampiasainy ary ny fanapahan-kevitra raisiny. |
31 | Truly speaking, we are not about them. | Raha ny tena marina dia tsy eritreretiny ny momba antsika. |
32 | They are not the mirror of the society” | Tsy izy ireo mihitsy no taratra eo amin'ny fiaraha-monina” |
33 | He also encouraged to consider the human sides: | Nampirisahany koa ny fijerena ny maha olona: |
34 | “People classified the nations as Pakistanis, Indians, Taiwanese, Chinese, Russians and etc. unfortunately we forget that we are human beings first !!! | “Kilasian'ny olona ho firenena ny hoe Pakistaney, Karana, Taiwaney, Sinoa, Rosiana… Hadinontsika fa mialoha ny rehetra dia olombelona isika!!! |
35 | It's the time when nature is testing not only Pakistani people (Pakistani human beings) who lost their home, children and almost everything in recent deadly floods; but also a test for the people living in various parts of the world that how much they can contribute towards the welfare of the people of Pakistan.” | Tonga ny fotoana hisedran'ny natiora antsika ary tsy ny Pakistaney ihany (na maha Pakistanaey) izay very trano, very zanaka sy ny zavatra rehetra nandritra ny tondra-drano namono iny; fa kosa sedra ho an'ny olona rehetra manerana izao tontolo izaoamin'ny fomba hamonjeny ny vahoaka Pakistaney”. |
36 | We, as individuals can do many things, but the first step is to think that everyone should focus on his or her share in caring Pakistan. Or we can choose to think just like the following video of “The ‘Don't' Help Pakistan Campaign”: | Izahay, amin'ny anaran'ny tenanay manokana dia afaka manao zavatra maro, kanefa dingana voalohany dia ny fieritreretana fa ny tsirairay dia tokony hifantoka amin'ny fizarany fanampiana ho an'ny Pakistaney, na hisafidy isika hieritreritra tahaka ity anaty sary mihetsika manaraka ity hoe “Ny fanentanana tsy hanampianana'i Pakistan”: |
37 | The video was filmed under the supervision of the Mohammad Bin Rashid Charity Foundation, the largest charity foundation in the Middle East based in Dubai. The event “Charity Suhoor in Aid of Pakistan” was held on 7th of September, 2010 at Monarch Hotel in Dubai, and 200,000 Dirham ($54451) was collected for the Pakistan flood relief. | nalaina ity sary mihetsika ity teo ambany fanaraha-mason'ny Mohammad Rachid Charity Fundation (Fikambanana Mpanao Asa soa an'i Mohammad Rachid), fikambanana mpanao asa soa lehibe indrindra any Proche Orient manana ny foibeny ao Dubai. ny hetsika “Sakafo asa soa ho fanampiana an'i Pakistan” dia nanomboka tamin'n y7 septambra 2010 tao amin'ny Monarch Hotel ao Dubai, ary vola 200 000 dirames (54 451 dôlara) no voaangona ho an'ny tra-boinan'ny tondra-drano tany Pakistan. |
38 | Quotes from the campaign video: | Ireo voalaza ao amin'ny sary mihetsika: |
39 | “Only a fifth of the country is under water.” | “Ny ampahadimin'ny firenena ihany no tondraky ny rano.” |
40 | “Who cares about Pakistan?” | “Iza no hiraharaha an'i Pakistan?” |
41 | You know the answer; as you are free to see things and feel for people. | Fantatrao ny valiny; satria malalaka amin'ny fijerena ny fandehan-javatra sy ny fiheverana olona ianao. |
42 | Also because, you are a human being who is free to give a hand. | Ary koa satria, olombelona malalaka amin'ny fanomezan-tanana ianao. |
