4 | Burundi has been in crisis since April, but the country is still too rarely mentioned in international media. | Tao anatin'ny krizy i Burundi nanomboka tamin'ny volana Aprily saingy zara raha voalaza ao anatin'ny fampahalalam-baovao iraisampirenena ny zava-misy ao amin'ny firenena. |
5 | However, in the last two weeks of October, the level of violence and random assassinations have reached proportions that make crisis observers fear the worst. | Na dia izany aza, nandritra ny tapa-bolana faran'ny volana Oktobra, tonga amin'ny fetra atahoran'ny mpanara-baovao mafy mandritra ny krizy ny tahan'ny herisetra sy ny famonoana olona niniana natao. |
6 | As a reminder, President Pierre Nkurunziza was reelected in 2010 as the head of the country. | Ho fampahatsiahivana, voafidy indray ho filoham-pirenena i Pierre Nkurunziza tamin'ny taona 2010. |
7 | The constitution of Burundi forbids presidents from running for a third term. | Mandràra ny filoham-pirenena rehetra tsy hirotsaka hofidiana fanintelony ny lalàmpanorenana ao Burundi. |
8 | On 25 April 2015, Nkurunziza announced that he would run for a third consecutive term in the 2015 Burundian presidential elections. | Tamin'ny 25 Aprily 2015, nanambara i Nkurunziza fa hirotsaka fanintelony amin'ny fifidianana filoham-pirenena Borondey amin'ny 2015. |
9 | On 5 May, the Constitutional Court validated his candidacy. | Nankatoavin'ny Fitsarana avo momba ny lalàm-panorenana izany tamin'ny 5 Mey. |
10 | Demonstrations erupted throughout the country to protest this decision. | Nipoaka ny fihetsiketsehana manerana ny firenena hanoherana izany fanapahan-kevitra izany. |
11 | At least 22 demonstrators have died. | Mpanao fihetsiketsehana roa amby roapolo farafahakeliny no namoy ny ainy. |
12 | On 13 May, General Godefroid Niyombare announced that he would take power while President Nkurunziza was visiting Dar-es-Salaam in Tanzania. | Nanambara ny Jeneraly Godefroid Niyombare tamin'ny 13 May 2015 fa handray ny fahefana izy raha nankany Dar-es-Salaam, Tanzania ny Filoha Nkurunziza. |
13 | On 14 May, the military coup failed in its attempt to take control of the national radio and television station RTNB. | Tamin'ny 14 May, tsy nahomby ny fikasan'ny mpanonganam-panjakana hifehy ny onjam-peo sy ny fahitalavi-panjakana RTNB. |
14 | That evening, Pierre Nkurunziza's staff announced that Nkurunziza would return to Burundi and retain his position as head of country. | Nanambara ny manodidina an'i Pierre Nkurunziza fa tafaverina ao Burundi izy ary mifehy ny fitantanam-pirenena. |
15 | On 21 July, Nkurunziza ran in the elections and won 69. | Nirotsaka tamin'ny fifidianana 21 Jolay 2015 i Nkurunziza ary nahazo vato 69. |
16 | 41% of the vote. | 41% tamin'ny latsa-bato. |
17 | This election, however, did not stem the tide of the crisis. | Tsy nampilamina ny toe-draharahan'ny krizy izany fifidianana izany. |
18 | Thousands of refugees left Burundi for Tanzania fearing armed conflicts to come. “Pierre, we say no to three-term president.” | Mpitsoa-ponenana an'arivony no nandao an'i Burundi namonjy an'i Tanzania noho ny tahotra ny mety hisian'ny ady mitam-piadiana. |
19 | Image compilation illustrating the crisis in Burundi in 2015 On the Burundian website Les Voix, reporter Ngabire Elyse had a discussion with renowned Burundian political actor Aimé Magera about possible solutions to Burundi's crisis: | Tao amin'ny tranonkalan'ny Feon'i Burundi, mitafatafa amin'i Aimé Magera, mpiantsehatra malaza eo amin'ny fiainana ara-politika Borondey ny mpitati-baovao Ngabire Elyse amin'izay vahaolana mety amin'ny krizy ao Burundi: |
20 | Aimé Magera notes that current leaders have learned almost nothing from the recent affairs of our country. | |
21 | “They are following precisely in the footsteps of a former regime that preceded them just before the wind of democracy blew through the political landscape of Burundi in 1992.” [Editor's note: From 1987 to 1992, Burundi was under military ruling led by Major Pierre Buyoya. | Manamarika i Aime Magera fa tsy mba nandray lesona tamin'ny lasan'ny firenentsika vao haingana ny mpitondra amin'izao fotoana izao: “Manara-dia tanteraka ny nizoran'ny teo aloha nodimbiasiny mialoha indrindra ny nidiran'ny rivotry ny demaokrasia tao anatin'ny tontolo ara-politika Borondey tamin'ny 1992 izy ireo.” |
22 | The first open elections happened in 1993 and were won by Melchior Ndadaye] In a situation where hearts are already bruised by long months of demonstrations suppressed in blood, kidnappings, torture, murders, bodies discovered bound hand and foot or wrapped in bags and left along the roads or thrown in rivers, etc., the reconciliation commission (as defined by the order that created it) will bring about nothing new. | Ao anatin'ny toe-javatra nandratra fo noho ireo volana maro nisian'ny fihetsiketsehana nogejaina tao anatin'ny fandahatsa-drà, fakàna an-keriny, fampijaliana, famonoana olona, fahitana vatana mangatsiaka mifatotra na nofonosina ao anaty gony sy navela manerana ny lalana na natsipy tany anaty renirano, sns, tsy hitondra zava-baovao ny komity (ny fampihavanana) voafaritry ny didy hitsivolana natsangana. |
23 | On Waza Afrique, the creator of the Facebook group “Emploi à Bujumbura / Jobs in Bujumbura” Landry Sibomana gave his opinion on the crisis that permeates his country: | Tao amin'ny Waza Afrique, manome ny heviny momba ny krizy diavin'ny fireneny i Landry Sibomana, mpanorina ny vondrona Facebook “Asa ao Bujumbura / Jobs in Bujumbura” ao amin'ny : |
24 | The reasons are numerous: political, economic, social, etc. What saddens me most of all are the losses in human life, the material damage, but also the anxiety and uncertainty of tomorrow on people's faces. | Marobe ny antony: ara-politika, ara-toekarena, ara-tsosialy, sns. Ny mampalahelo ahy, dia ireo aina nafoy, ny fananana simba, ary ny tebiteby sy ny fisalasalana amin'ny ampitso hita soritra eny amin'ny endriky ny olona. |
25 | Life moves in slow motion. | Mikatsokatso ny fiainana. |
26 | It's unfortunate. | Mampalahelo. |
27 | Youth is an extraordinary resource for a nation and it should be a priority. | Loharano lehibe ho an'ny firenena ny tanora ary tokony ho laharam-pahamehana ny fikarakarana azy ireo. |
28 | Many youths let themselves get caught up in dangerous adventures which, ultimately, only cost them their lives. | Maro ny tanora tafiditra ao anaty andrakandrana mampidi-doza izay miafara amin'ny fahafatesan'izy ireo. |
29 | In the end, it is the whole nation that loses. | Ary ny firenena manontolo no very amin'izany. |
30 | I think that the concerned parties should sit, discuss, and think about the common interest that peace and security are for all. | Mino aho fa tokony hipetraka ary hifandinika sy hihevitra ny tombontsoa iombonana, dia ny filaminana sy ny fandriampahalemana ho an'ny rehetra ireo mpandray anjara. |
31 | Whether they like it or not, everyone is a victim. | Na tiana na tsy tiana, lasibatra avokoa ny olona rehetra. |
32 | In effect, thousands of Burundians find themselves on the road fleeing confrontations and more and more frequent witch hunts. | Eny tokoa, an'arivony ireo Borondey eny an-dalana handositra ny ady sy ny hazalambo miha-matetika . |
33 | This report from Al Jazeera -The Stream explains the resurgence of violence in recent months: | Manazava ny firongatry ny herisetra tao anatin'ny volana vitsivitsy lasa ny lahatsary eto ambany: |
34 | Valentin Vyabagabo, a resident in North Bujumbura, maintains that he has seen bodies floating regularly in the river since September. | Nilaza i Valentin Byabagabo, mponina ao avaratr'i Bujumbura fa nahita vatana mangatsiaka mitsingevana ao anaty renirano hatramin'ny volana Septambra. |
35 | In the face of growing ethnic tensions, Roland Rugero of Bujumbura notes that this crisis has multiple factors: | Alohan'ny fitomboan'ny disadisa ara-poko, mampahatsiahy i Roland Rugero ao Bujumbura misy antony maro no mahatonga ny krizy: |
36 | In ten years, Burundi will have more than 8 million job-seekers out of more than 13 million inhabitants. | Ao anatin'ny folo taona, ho tafakatra valo tapitrisa mahery ireo mpitady asa ao Burundi, amin'ireo mponina maherin'ny 13 tapitrisa. |
37 | The solution to the 2015 crisis must not make us forget all of the social and political players, local or allies. The crux of the matter is that if the Burundian population remains poor, with all of the problems that come with a large population and a small territory, the country will always have violent cycles. | Tsy tokony hanadinoana ny zava-dehibe ny famahana ny krizy ataon'ireo mpandray anjara ara-politika sy ara-tsosialy, ao an-toerana na naman'ny firenena: raha mbola mahantra ny mponina Borondey, amin'ny fahamaroan'ny mponina sy ny fahateren'ny tany, dia hiaina herisetra miverimberina hatrany hatrany ny firenena. |
38 | The Burundian crisis renews economic, social, and profound political frustrations. The youth who comprise the core contingents of the demonstrators are the unemployed, those with insecure employment, the idle rural youths looking for city life, and the majority of students who reject all political and social order that condemns them to long-term misery, unemployment, and a future without prospect. | Miteraka lonilony ara-toekarena, ara-tsosialy sy politika lalina ny krizy Borondey: ireo tanora izay nandrafitra ny ankamaroan'ireo mpanao fihetsiketsehana dia ireo tanora tsy an'asa, ireo mpiasa tsy raikitra, ny tanora tsy an'asa any ambanivohitra mitady fanantenana ao an-tanàndehibe, mbamin'ny ankamaroan'ireo mpianatra mitsipaka ny lamina politika sy sosialy mametraka azy rehetra hogejain'ny fahantrana sy ny fananan'asa, sy ho avy tsy misy fanantenana. |
39 | They denounce a power incapable of responding to their economic and social aspirations. | Miampanga ny fitondrana ho tsy mahavita mamaly ny hetaheta ara-toekarena sy ara-tsosialy izy ireo. |
40 | This helplessness is not specific to this regime. | Tsy an'ity fitondrana ity manokana izany tsy fahavitan-javatra izany. |
