1 | Guinea-Bissau: Citizen Frustration and Defiance in Face of Turmoil | Ginea-Bisao: Fahadisoam-panantenana Sy Tsy Fitokisan'ny Mponina Manoloana Ny Korontana |
2 | On October 21, a violent incident occurred at an airbase outside Bissau, the capital of the small west African nation of Guinea-Bissau. | Tamin'ny 21 Oktobra 21, loza mahatsiravina no niseho tao amin'ny tobin-tafika an-habakabaka ao ivelan'i Bisao, renivohitry ny firenena kely Afrikanina-Andrefana ao Ginea-Bisao. |
3 | Six people were reported killed, and gruesome images of bodies of accused assailants circulated on the internet. | Olona enina no fantatra fa namoy ny ainy, ary niely manerana ny aterineto ireo sary mampihoro-koditra ahitana ny fatin'ireo olona voalaza fa nanafika. |
4 | The day after two politicians critical of the country's transitional government and military were kidnapped and beaten. | Ny ampitson'ny loza, nisy naka an-keriny sy nidaroka ireo mpanao politika roa mpitsikera ny governemantan'ny tetezamita sy ny miaramila ao amin'ny firenena. |
5 | (The transitional government came to power after a military coup d'etat earlier this year.) | (Tonga teo amin'ny fahefana ny governemantan'ny tetezamita taorian'ny fanonganam-panjakana nataon'ny miaramila tamin'ny fiandohan'ity taona ity .) |
6 | The violence took place against a backdrop of simmering doubts about the transition negotiated by the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS). | Niseho ny herisetra raha mbola ao anatin'ny toe-draharaha feno fisalasalana momba ny tetezamita nifampiraharahana amin'ny Vondro-piarahamonina Ara-toekarenan'ny Firenena Afrikana Andrefana (ECOWAS na CEDEAO). |
7 | (For background - see the International Crisis Group's August briefing “Beyond Turf Wars”). | (Vaovao fanampiny- jereo ny Antonta-kevitry ny Vondrona Iraisam-pirenena Misahana ny Krizy “Mihoatra Ny Miady Ho Lohany”). |
8 | The transitional government was quick to blame the incident - which it deemed a coup attempt - on an ex-military official Pansau N'Tchama and interference by Portugal. | Tsy nisalasala fitondrana tetezamita nilaza ny zava-nitranga ho - fikasana hanongam-panjakana - nataona manamboninahitra miaramila taloha, Pansau N'Tchama sy ny fitsabahan'i Portiogaly. |
9 | This photo supposedly of his arrest, in which he is draped in the Portuguese flag and restrained by a rope around his neck, was shared by those administrating the page of the Simão Mendes National Hospital. | Nozarain'ireo mpandrindra ny pejin'ny Hopitalim-pirenena Simão Mendes ity sary nandritra ny fisamborana azy ity, izay ahitana azy mirakotra saina Portiogey sy miaraka amin'ny tady manodidina ny tenda. |
10 | N'Tchama's humiliating transfer to Bissau, after arrest in the Bijagós islands, was captured on video by José Mussuaili | Narakitr'i José Mussuaili tamin'ny lahatsary ny famindrana manala-baraka an'i N'Tchama tao Bissau, taorian'ny fisamborana azy tao amin'ny nosy Bijagós. |
11 | The situation the ground is difficult to make sense of, especially for North American mainstream media, which have used the moment to rehash the narcostate narrative about Guinea-Bissau. | Sarotra ny nanazava ny toe-draharaha ao an-toerana, indrindra ho an'ny fampahalalam-baovao Amerikana-tavaratra, izay namoaka indray ny tantara fandre fa firenena mivelona amin'ny zava-mahadomelina i Ginea-Bisao. |
12 | Frustration and defiance | Fahadisoam-panantenana sy fisalasalana |
13 | While the international institutions - the AU (African Union), the UN and ECOWAS, express “concern” and conduct meetings, the people of Guinea-Bissau have little outlet for their fears and frustrations. | Raha naneho ny ” ahiahiny” sy nikarakara fivoriana ny Rafitra iraisam-pirenena - AU (Vondrona Afrikanina), ny Firenena Mikambana sy ny ECOWAS, tsy mba nasian-dresaka ny ahiahy sy ny fahadisoam-panantenana eo amin'ny mponina ao Ginea-Bisao: |
14 | Fernando Casimiro, on his website Didinho, argued that “Symbolic burning of arms following Guinea-Bissau's civil war: Reform of the country's military remains vital for achieving political stability.” | “Fandoroana an'ohatra ireo fitaovam-piadiana taorian'ny ady an-trano tao Ginea-Bissau: Zava-dehibe amin'ny fanatratrarana ny tanjona ara-politika ny fanavaozana ny tafika ao amin'ny firenena.” |

16 | In the case of Guinea Bissau, even if there weren't Armed Forces, there will always be other “FORCES”, who will always be armed, with or without uniform, serving whoever believes to be legitimized by power. | Mikasika an'i Ginea Bisao, na dia tsy misy mpitandro ny filaminana aza, misy foana ny “HERY” hafa, izay hitam-piadiana, na manao fanamiana na tsia, mba hanompo ireo izay mihevitra fa nahazo fankatoavana avy amin'ny fahefana. |
17 | No, democracy in Guinea Bissau is not yet sufficiently prepared to let go of either the service of the Republican Armed Forces or other armed “FORCES” who represent the protection of interests, and power that politicians and governors believe belongs to them, legitimized through popular vote. | Tsia, mbola tsy matotra mihitsy ny demokrasia ao Ginea Bisao ka ho tsara antok'ireo mpitandro ny filaminana Repoblikana na “HERY” hafa misolo-tena amin'ny fiarovana ny tombotsoan'ny eo amin'ny fahefana sy ireo mpanao politika mihevitra ho tompony noho ny safidim-bahoaka tamin'ny fifidianana. |
18 | It seems no coincidence Guineans online have been sharing a song “Nkana Medi” ([We Are] Not Afraid) by Masta Tito, a Guinean rapper [Pt] who has been outspoken in his demand for reform of the military. | Tsy sendrasendra ny nizaran'ireo Gineana ilay hira “Nkana Medi” Tsy matahotra ([Izahay) tamin'ny aterineto, hiran'i Masta Tito, mpiangaly rapy Gineana [Pt] izay mazava tsara ny fitakiany momba ny fanavaozana ny tafika. |
19 | An article [pt] by sociologist Miguel Barros on Buala translates part of the lyrics: | Lahatsoratra [pt] nosoratan'ilay mpahay fiarahamonina (sosialogy) Miguel Barros momba an'i Buala, nandika ny ampahany tamin'ny tononkira: |
20 | We are not afraid / We are tired of ‘fronting' / Now each of us tightens our belts / We are all guineans / (…) Like it or not, I won't stop singing for my people | Tsy matahotra izahay / Reraka izahay ‘mifanandrina' / Ankehitriny, samy mamatotra ny fehikibony isika tsirairay/ Gineana avokoa isika rehetra / (…) Na tianao na tsy tianao, Tsy hitsahatra hihira ho an'ny vahoakako aho |
21 | In the weeks that followed the bloody assault, blogger and journalist Aly Silva has once again been a key source of information and opinion. | Herinandro taorian'ny herisetra feno rà-mandrika, nahazoana loharanom-baovao sy fanadihadiana ilay bilaogera sy mpanao gazety Aly Silva. |
22 | The African Committee to Protect Journalists reported that Aly Silva was threatened by military and has gone into hiding, and that Portuguese state media correspondent Fernando Teixeira Gomes was forced to leave the country by official order of the transitional government. | Nitatitra ny Vaomiera Afrikanina Mpiaro ny Mpanao gazety fa norahonan'ny tafika i Aly Silva ka voatery niafina, ary voatery nandao ny firenena kosa ilay mpiasan'ny fampahalalam-baovao-panjakana Portigey noho ny baiko ofisialy avy amin'ny governemantan'ny tetezamita. |
23 | Aly Silva continues to write [pt] defiantly on his blog, which he says has just reached the milestone of 5 million views | Aly Silva nanohy nanoratra [pt] tamin'ny fomba feno fihantsiana tao amin'ny bilaoginy, nilaza izy fa nahazo mpijery 5 tapitrisa |
24 | I watch and record everything. | Nijery sy nandrakitra zavatra aho. |
25 | Afterwards I write, in the certainty that someone will read and share the same feelings. | Avy eo, nanoratra tamim-pahatokisana aho fa hisy olona hamaky sy hizara fihetseham-po tahaka izany koa avy eo. |
26 | My blog has been visited daily by thousands of people. | Olona an'arivony no mitsidika ny bilaogiko isan'andro. |
27 | That's just stats. | Tarehimarika fotsiny ihany izany. |
28 | I would prefer having one visit a day, than having to deal with thousands of sad and cloudy eyes: they are killing us, they are destroying our families, [they are] turning children violent. | Tiako raha nanana mpitsidika iray isan'andro aho, fa tsy miatrika olona an'arivony malahelo sy bongo maso: mamono antsika izy ireo, mamotika ny fianakaviantsika izy ireo, mitarika ny ankizy hahery setra [izy ireo] . |
29 | On his blog “Ditadura do Consenso”, Aly Silva also published a guest post by a man who asks for anonymity [pt] out of fear - a sort of “Oscars” for best performances by politicians and military, a darkly comic analysis of the situation. | Tao amin'ny bilaoginy “Ditadura do Consenso” dia namoaka lahatsoratra nosoratana lehilahy vahiny izay nangataka mba tsy holazaina ny anarany [pt] noho ny tahotra i Aly Silva - karazana “Oscars” ho an'ny zava-bita tsara indrindra vitan'ny mpanao politika sy ny miaramila, ary fanadihadiana mahatsikaiky sy mampalahelo momba ny toe-draharaha. |
30 | Domadora de Camalões blogger Helena Ferro de Gouveia wrote in her post “Blood spilled (again) on the streets of Bissau” [pt] [caution: shocking images] | Tao amin'ny bilaogy Domadora de Camalões, bilaogera Helena Ferro de Gouveia namoaka lahatsoratra “Mandriaka (indray) ny rà ao amin'ny araben'i Bisao” [pt] [tandremo: mampihoro-koditra ny sary] |
31 | Guineans are people and not an abstraction, or “guys used to violence”, in a tropical country. | Vahoaka ny Gineana fa tsy hoe tsy misy dikany, na “olona zatra herisetra”,ao amin'ny firenena tropikaly. |
32 | The Guineans deserve whatever that thing called dignity is. | Mendrika izay rehetra antsoina hoe fahamendrehana ny Gineana. |
33 | Running the risk of repeating myself: the world should come with errata. | Mba tsy hisian'ny fiverimberenana: ahitana fahadisoana foana izao tontolo izao. |
