5It was no big surprise to see the Lebanese passport amongst the 10 worst in the world in terms of freedom of travel and restrictions.Tsy dia mahataitra loatra ny mahita ny pasipaoro Libaney tafiditra ao anatin'ny 10 ratsy indrindra manerantany eo amin'ny sehatry ny fahafahana mivezivezy sy ny fanakatsakanana.
6The Henley & Partners Visa Restrictions Index published earlier last week did, however, highlight the morose status of the Land of the Cedars and spark bitter reactions on all fronts.Nasongadin'ny fampilaharana ny fanakatsakanana Visa navoakan'ny Henley & Partners tamin'ny herinandro, ny toerana (laharana) matroka ao amin'ny Tanin'ny Sedera izany ary nitraka valinteny mangidy avy amin'ny mpandray anjara rehetra.
7At least blogger @AbirGhattas did not miss the irony in the perspective of Lebanon's notorious and dramatic racism problem:Farafaharatsiny tsy diso anjara tamin'izany esoeso izany ny bilaogera @AbirGhattas raha jerena ny lazan'i Libanona eo amin'ny olan'ny fanavakavaham-bolonkoditra:
8It must be very hard on the “madame” that she is on the same list with the “help” originating from Nepal, Sudan, Pakistan and Sri Lanka.Ho sahirana be izao i “madame” mandre fa miray lisitra amin'ireo “vonjeo” avy any Nepal, Sodàna, Pakistan ary Sri Lanka.
9Of course the joke doesn't end here since the Lebanese General Security promptly issued a press release stating “The Lebanese passport is the best in the world.”Mazava ho azy fa tsy mijanona hatreo ny vazivazy rehefa namoaka fanambarana an-gazety ny Fiarovana Ankapoben'i Libanona milaza “ny pasipaoro Libaney no tsara indrindra manerana izao tontolo izao.”
10The official statement adds that Lebanon would soon adopt an “advanced” biometric passport.Nampian'ny fanambaràna ofisialy moa fa hampiditra ny pasipaoro biometrika “lasa aloha” ry zareo.
11It didn't impress anyone:Tsy nahasondriana ny olona izany:

14Revolution 961 calculates that the Lebanese passport is also one of the most expensive to obtain:Revolution 961 mikajy fa anisan'ny lafovidy indrindra ny pasipaoro vao mahazo azy:
15With only 5,296,760 Km2 that someone holding a Lebanese passport can visit without a visa, a Lebanese citizen should pay a world high 40$ ( and 70$ if you need it the same day ) to get that famous blue passport for 1 year.Raha 5.296.760 Km2 monja ny velarantany azon'izay mitazona pasipaoro libaney tsy mila visa, tsy maintsy mandoa 40$ (70$ raha tiana ho azo amin'io andro io ihany) ny olom-pirenena Libaney iray raha te-hahazo ilay pasipaoro manga miasa mandritra ny herintaona.
16On the other hand, Danish and Japanese passports for example, allow for more than 73,000,000 Km2, which is more than 15 times than our passport.Etsy ankilny ny pasipaoro Danoà na Japoney, ohatra, mamela azy ireo hitsidika mihoatra ny 73.000.000 Km2, izay mihoatra ny 15 avo heny raha oharina amin'ny pasipaorontsika.
17But a Danish pays 10.4$ for a year ( 104$ for a 10 year passport), while a Japanese pays 13.5$ (135$ for 10 years) .Saingy ny Danoà mandoa 10,4$ isan-taona (104$ ho an'ny pasipaoro iray manankery 10 taona), ary ny an'ny Japoney mandoa 13,5$ (135$ ao anatin'ny folo taona) .
18The perspective of biometrics data is not really something to look forward to either, blogger Gino calls it like he sees it:Tsy dia misy inona antenaina ihany koa ny fomba fijery eo amin'ny resaka biometrika, ny bilaogera Gino niantso azy ity araka izay hitany:
19As for the “new biometric data” thing, that only means one thing: MORE MONEY!Tahaka izany ihany koa ny momba ny “tahirin-kevitra biometrika vaovao”, zavatra iray ihany no dikany: VOLA BEBE KOKOA!
20=D We already pay hundreds of dollars to renew our flimsy passports for a few years (the most expensive I believe?) Adding RFID chips and doing the biometric analysis means only one thing: someone close to the General Security or one of the politicians/warlords will take the exclusive rights to that, charge us exorbitant amounts, and make millions for a passport that will remain equally useless and frustrating.=D efa mandoa anjatony dolara izahay raha hanavao ilay pasipaorontsika izay mora simba hampiasaina anatin'ny taona vitsy ( inoako ho ny lafo indrindra) Ampiana ny “puce” RFID sy ny famotopotorana biometrika dia midika zavatra tokana: olona akaikin'ny ao amin'ny Fiarovana Ankapobeny na iray amin'ireo mpanao politika na mpitari-tafika indray no hahazo manokana ny tsena, dia hampandoa volabe anay, ary hahazo volabe an-tapitrisany amin'ny pasipaoro izay sady tsy misy ilana azy no handiso fanantenana.
21Meanwhile, @eliefares from A Separate State of Mind deplored the fact that while reactions ranged from denial to outrage, little is done to actually help improve the situation:Mandritra izany fotoana izany i @eliefares avy ao amin'ny Firenena Misaraka An-Tsaina mitaraina raha mahita ny fanehoa-kevitra ahitana fitsipahana ka hatramin'ny fahatezerana, kely dia kely ny zava-bita mba tena hanatsarana tokoa ny toe-draharaha :
22(…) a passport's merits aren't in the way it looks, its size or the feeling it has in your hand or how efficiently it gets scanned at border controls.Tsy any amin'ny endriny, na habeny na ny fahatsapanao rehefa mitazona azy ianao na ny fiasany tsara rehefa tarafina any amin'ny fanaraha-maso an-tsisintany no ahitana ny fahamendrehan'ilay pasipaoro.
23But don't tell people that because we can twist any simple data we have into whatever gets us to sleep better at night.Fa aza miteny amin'ny vahoaka ihany koa hoe mahay mikirakira tahirin-kevitra eo am-pelantanantsika isika no mahatonga antsika ho tsara torimaso rehefa amin'ny alina.
24Let's call it a way of life.Andao antsointsika hoe fomba fiaina izany.
25Let's call it perpetuating the status quo.Andao antsointsika hoe fanohizana hatrany ny efa mitoetra tsara izany.
26Do Lebanese really want to improve their passport?Tian'ny Libaney tokoa ve ny hanatsarana ny pasipaorony?
27By the looks of it, many of them probably couldn't care less.Raha jerena amin'ny endriny, tsy nahakojakoka azy akory aza ny maro.
28What's in a passport anyway?Fa inona tokoa moa no ao anatin'ny pasipaoro?
29In a world where national borders are significantly fading out amongst some countries, while others remain virtually locked out, a passport can mean everything.Ao amin'ny tontolo izay toy ny efa levona tsy misy dikany intsony aza ny sisintanim-pirenena any amin'ny firenena sasantsasany, nefa ny an'ny hafa toy ny voahidy tsy afa-mifidra izy ireo, mety hidika zavatra be dia be ny pasipaoro.
30An increasing number of people may feel like citizens of the world, but their country of origin plays a big role in determining the social and economic opportunities they'll have access to.Mety miha-mitombo isa ireo mahatsapa ny tenany ho olom-pirenen'ny tany, saingy mitana anjara toerana lehibe eo amin'ny famaritana ny fanararaotra ara-piarahamonina sy ara-toekarena avelany hotakarin'ny olony ny firenena niaviany.
31In a country of so many turmoils, dual citizenship becomes a coveted goal.Ao amin'ny firenena anjakan'ny gidragidra, tsiriritina fatratra ny fizakàna zom-pirenena roa.
32This is why @Khaladk‘s tweet may seem weird, but it's a sentence often heard in Beirut:Izany ny antony toa hafahafa ny tweet-n'i @Khaladk, saingy izany no fiteny re matetika ao Beirota:
33After my wife gets her #Australia n passport we are going to ceremoniously burn her #Lebanon one at the consulate! #justsayingTaorian'ny nahazoan'ny vadiko pasipaoron'i Aostralia dia nandeha nandoro ny pasipaorony Libaney tao amin'ny konsilà izahay! mba miteny
