1Sudan: What do we make out of Sudan's elections?Soudan: Inona no azo tsoahina tamin'ny fifidianana?
2The Sudanese voting period ended on April 15, but while the actual voting process has come to an end, a debate about election transparency and credibility has started. The debate involves political parties, international observers and citizens in and outside Sudan.Nifarana tamin'ny 15 aprily lasa teo ny fifidianana tany Soudan, kanefa, na dia mifarana aza izany dia mbola resabe ny fangaraharana sy maha azo antoka azy eo amin'ireo mpanao politika sy ireo mpanara-maso iraisam-pirenena ary ireo olom-pirenena tsotra ao anatiny sy ivelan'i Soudan.
3Let's start by looking at the opinion of the international community on the election and its credibility.Andeha hojerena ny hevitry ny iraisam-pirenena mikasika iny fifidianana iny sy ny maha azo antoka azy.
4In an article written in Afriquejet titled African Union, IGAD praise Sudan security for peaceful polls :Ao amin'ny lahatsoratra nivoaka tao amin'ny Afriquejet mitondra ny lohateny hoe “Vondrona Afrikana, miandrandra filaminana mandritra ny fifidianana any Soudan ny IGAD “:
5Considering its recent political history, the numerous challenges relating to the size of the country, the security situation and the political tensions prevailing ahead of the elections the election was a monumental milestone in the history of Sudan.Raha jerena ny tantara politika vao haingana, fanamby maro noho ny halehiben'ny firenena, ny lafiny fandriam-pahalemana ary ny fisintonan'ny tady politika talohan'ny fifidianana, dia marika manan-tantara eo amin'ny tantaran'i Soudan iny fifidianana iny.
6In the article, AU observer Kunle Adeyemi dismisses protesters who argue that the process was not free and fair:Ao amin'ity lahatsoratra ity, ilay mpanara-maso avy amin'ny Vondrona Afrikana Kunle Adeyemi manameloka ireo milaza fa tsy nalalaka sy tsy nanaja zo ny rafitra napetraka:
7We agree that the elections were not perfect.Manaiky izahay fa tsy tonga lafatra ny fifidianana.
8However, you do not expect somebody who did not take part to say anything positive.Na izany aza, tsy tokony hiandry zavatra tsara avy amin'ny olona tsy nandray anjara koa anefa.
9The election was a building block for future elections.Vato fototra ho an'ny fifidianana ho avy iny fifidianana iny.
10Regionally, in an article written in the Sudan Tribune titled African and Arabs organisations praise the conduct of Sudanese elections.Any amin'ny faritra, toy izao no voalazan'ny lahatsoratra nivoaka tao amin'ny Sudan Tribune mitondra ny lohateny hoe “Fikambanana Afrikana sy Arabo manantena hitarika ny fifidianana any Soudan”:
11The statement by the Arab League says:Milaza ny fanambarana avy amin'ny Ligy Arabo:
12We cannot say that the Sudanese elections have met international standards, but that does not reduce what has happened, which is an important transition,” said Salah Halima the head of AL mission in Khartoum today“Tsy afaka milaza izahay fa manaraka ny fenitra iraisam-pirenena ny fifidianana natao tany Soudan, kanefa tsy manambany izay efa vita izahay, izay tena manan-danja”, hoy ny fanambaran'i Salh Halima, lehiben'ny ligy arabo any Karthoum.
13On the other side the AU statement notes that the elections were a great achievement for the Sudanese people”Etsy an-kilany, ny fanambaran'ny Vondrona Afrikana dia milaza fa iny fifidianana iny no “zava-bita lehibe ho an'ny vahoaka soudanais”
14What happened in Sudan was a historical event and a great achievement for Sudanese people,” said Kunle Adeyemi, who is spokesperson of the AU observer mission in Sudan chaired by John Kufuor the former President of Ghana.Ny zava-nitranga tany Soudan dia tena manan-tantara sady zava-bita goavana ho an'ny vahoaka soudanais”, hoy Kunle Adeyemi, mpitondra tenin'ny mpanara-maso avy amin'ny Vondrona Afrikana any Soudan, tarihan'ny filohan'i Ghana teo aloha John Kufuor.
15“Looking into the fact this is a country that had not had a multi-party election for almost a generation… to say they are free and fair, to the best of our knowledge we have no reason to think the contrary,” he added.“Raha jerena amin'ny hoe firenena tsy nahitana fifidianana nisy mpandray anjara betsaka tahaka ity tany Soudan efa taranaka iray izao… ny filazana fa nalalaka sady azo antoka, araka ny efa fantantsika dia tsy tokony hisaina ny mifanohitra amin'izany isika”, hoy izy nanampy. “Tsy nahita hosoka izahay… hitanay fa mangarahara ny fifidianana,” Adeyemi nanamafy.
16“We have not found evidence of fraud… we saw a vote that was very transparent,” Adeyemi affirmed.Mitantara ny hevitra samy hafa sy ny dikan'iny fifidianana mana-tantara iny ny tontolon'ny bilaogy.
17In the blogosphere there are a variety of opinions and perspectives about the credibility and the meaning of this historical event. A post titled Ruth Messinger: Failed Elections in Sudan: Now What? at Blog All Over the World argues that Obama's carrot and stick policy towards Sudan needs some sticks:Lahatsoratra mitondra ny lohateny hoe Ruth Messinger: Fifidianana tsy nahomby tany Soudan: Ahoana izany? ao amin'ny bilaogy All Over the World no miombon-kevitra fa ny politikan'i Obama momba ny karaoty sy ny tsora-kazo hampiharina amin'i Soudan dia mbola mila tsora-kazo fanampiny:
18The Obama administration has expressed disappointment in the way these elections were conducted. But press releases are not enough.Diso fanantenana tamin'ny fitondrana ny fifidianana ny fitantanan'i Obama. kanefa tsy ampy ny fanambarana tany amin'ny haino aman-jery.
19President Obama's “carrots and sticks” policy of rewarding the Sudanese government for progress towards peace and holding it accountable for undermining peace now requires some sticks.Ny politikan'ny karaoty sy ny tsora-kazo dia tmbiny vokatry ny ezaka nataon'i Soudan ho amin'ny fandriam-pahalemana ary mamela ireo izay te handrava sy manembatsembana izany fandriampahalemana izany hahazo tsora-kazo fanampiny.
20And we are eager to see, in light of Sudan's recent elections, how the White House intends to implement its own stated policy.Maika isika izao hijery, raha tarafina ny fifidianana farany tany Soudan, hoe amin'ny fomba ahoana no hanatanterahan'ny Maison Blanche ny politika napetrany.
21At Making Sense of Sudan, Abd al-Wahab Abdalla concludes that the election was ugly.Ao amin'ny bilaogy Making Sense of Sudan, Abd al-Wahab Abdalla no mamehy fa ratsy ny fifidianana.
22He explains:Hoy izy manazava:
23Rigging, fraud and corruption, there were.Fanodikodinam-bato, halatra sy hosoka, nisy izany.
24Voters excluded from the poll, last-minute registration and a roundup of voters with hastily-issued residence certificates which may or may not have matched the names on the voters' roll, all will surely be documented by the observers.Mpifidy tsy nahazo nifidy, fisoratana anarana amin'ny ora farany sy famoriana mpifidy tamin'ny alalan'ny taratasy fanamarinam-ponenana maimaika izay mifanaraka na tsia amin'ny anarana voasoratra ao amin'ny lisim-pifidianana, azo antoka fa voamarin'ireo mpanara-maso avokoa izany rehetra izany.
25These had no material consequence for the outcome of last week's election in Sudan.Zava-nisy tsy misy dikany taorian'ny fifidianana tamin'ny herinandro lasa teo tany Soudan.
26The ugly result of the election was determined long ago by the material forces that have driven Sudanese political life for the best part of forty years.Ny valim-pifidianana ratsy endrika dia efa voafaritry ny manan-katao izay nitondra ny politika tany Soudan nandritra ny 40 taona izao.
27Political organization founded in the means of production was decisively crushed by the May Revolution and instead Sudanese have witnessed the coalescence of political activities around nothing more than proximity to the state and its instruments of power and rent.Ny fikambanana politika naorina avy amin'ny famokarana dia efa nopotehina tanteraka tamin'ny fikomiana volana may ary nasolo azy dia niatrika fanakambanana hetsika politika maromaro ny soudanais izay tsy nankaiza fa niodina teo amin'ny olom-panjakana sy ny fitaovam-panjakana ary ny tombotsoany ihany.
28The only revolutionary alternatives, from the left in the form of the banners of the “New Sudan” raised by the SPLM, and from the right with the Islamists' slogans of self-reliance, adopted from necessity rather than conviction, have long since succumbed to the lure of the politics of the bazaar.Ireo sisa tamin'ny fikomiana, ny ankavia mitondra ny hevitra hoe “Soudan Vaovao” miaraka amin'ny SPLM, sy ny ankavanana mitondra ny hevitra Fizakan-tenan'ny Silamo, naorina satria sady nilaina no naharesy lahatra, dia efa resy hatramin'ny ela teo amin'ny tontolo politika.
29He continues with his analysis:Hoy ihany izy manohy ny famakafakany:
30Our voters fall into two main categories.Mizara roa mazava tsara ny mpifidy.
31Category A is those who have, of necessity or opportunism, joined the loyalty parade.Ao amin'ny sokajy A no ahitana ireo izay voatery na noho ny fitadiavana tombotsoa dia nanaraka ny filaharan'ny tsy maty manota.
32This includes almost all rural voters whose services and livelihoods require government beneficence.Hita ao anatin'izany ny mpifidy avy any ambanivohitra izay mila fitantanana tsaratsara hahazoany tombotsoa.
33It includes anyone who may need a licence to trade.Ao anatin'izany koa ireo mitaky fahazoan-dalana vao mahazo mivarotra.
34These voters will vote NCP, and the uglier the candidate, the more likely they will vote him in, because the ugliest representative is likely to be the one seated closest to the president and his minions.
35Category B is those who have neither material interest nor personal proclivity for this kind of politics. Most of them did not register and most of those who registered did not vote.Ireo no nifidy ny NPC, ary arakaraky ny tsy hitiavana ilay mpirotsaka hofidiana no hisian'ny vintana hahalany azy, satria izay solombavam-bahoaka tsy tiana indrindra no manjary lasa tanana ankavanan'ny filoha sy ny saribakoliny.
36Observing the trickle of voters at the polling stations last week I would guess that the male population under the age of thirty belongs in its near entirety to category B.
37Kayode Oladele of Sahara Reporters reflects on the elections and identifies some values in the Sudanese electoral system that other countries can emulate:Kayode Oladele ao amin'ny Sahara Reporters no mamakafaka ny fifidianana ary mijery ny fomba fanaovana izany fifidianana izany tany Soudan izay azon'ny firenena hafa halaina tahaka koa:
38There is one innovative and good side to the Sudan elections which other countries can emulate.Misy zava-baovao sy tsara azon'ny firenena hafa hampiharina ny fifidianana tany Soudan.
39They had a combination of the First Past The Post (FPTP) system and a Proportional Representation (PR) system.Nisy ny fanakambanana ny fifidianana olon-tokana (FPTP) sy ny solon-tena mifanaraka aminy (PR).
40Under the PR system they had the Women List and the Party List.Ao amin'ny solon-tena mifanaraka aminy no nahitana ny Lisitry ny Vehivavy sy ny Lisitry ny Antoko.
41This encouraged a lot of women to turn out during polling.Nampirisika ny ankamaroan'ny vehivavy hifidy izany.
42Finally, Maggie discusses the delay in announcing official election results:Hamaranana azy, Maggie milaza ny fahataran'ny famoahana ny vok-pifidianana:
43To many in the South, the NEC's announcement today came as no surprise, given the significant difficulties in collecting ballot papers and results from local polling stations-some of which are not accessible by road.Ho an'ny maro any Atsimo, tsy mahagaga ny fanambarana ny vokatry ny fifidianana nataon'ny NEC (Komitin'ny fifidianana), raha jerena ireo zava-tsarotra niainana tamin'ny fanangonana ny vato sy ny fanisana azy avy any amin'iroe birao fandatsaham-bato any an-toerana - izay ny sasany tsy misy lalana.
44(In these locations, the United Nations is helping collect elections materials by helicopter).(Any amin'ireny toerana ireny dia manampy amin'ny alalan'ny helikoptera ny Firenena Mikambana).
45The tabulation of results is complicated for some of the same reasons that the polling process was complex; the number of ballots and the lack of resources at the local level.Ny famoahana ny vokatra amin'ny tabilao koa dia mananosarotra noho ny antony mitovy amin'ny teo aloha ihany izay nahasarotra ny fizotran'ny fifidianana: ny lanjan'ny vato sy ny tsy fahampian'ny vaovao avy any an-toerana.
46Today, an official at the South Sudan Elections High Committee told Enough that the NEC should have listened to the state-level elections committee in the South, who have a better understanding of the logistical constraints and technical challenges that have affected the electoral process in the South than the national body in Khartoum .Ankehitriny, tompon'andraikitra iray avy amin'ny Komity Ambonin'ny Fifidianana any Soudan Atsimo no nanambara tamin'ny Enough fa ny NEC dia tokony ho nanaraka ny hevitry ny vaomiera mitantana ny fifidianana noho ny zava-misy any Atsimo, izay mahalala tsara ny fahasarotana ara-pitaterana sy ny fahasarotana teknika izay nisy vokany teo amin'ny fifidianana tsany Atsimo, raha ampitahaina amin'ny any amin'ny foibe any Karthoum. .
