1 | Syria: Who Gets Paid $42,000 a Month? | Siria: Iza no mandray $42,000 isam-bolana? |
2 | Syria, formerly a socialist state, began its economic reform process in late 2003. | Siria, izay firenena sosialista teo aloha, dia nanomboka ny ezaka fanatsaràna ny ara-toekarenany tany amin'ny faramparan'ny 2003 tany. |
3 | The official aim was to reintegrate Syria into the global economy, while still preserve welfare for its people under the umbrella of the so-called “Social Market Economy”. | Ny tanjona nambàra tamin'ny fomba ofisialy fa hotratrarina dia ny hametraka an'i Siria ho eo anivon'ny toekarena manerantany, amin'ny fihazonana hatrany kosa ny fiahiana ny vahoakany eo ambanin'ny elobe antsoina hoe “Toekaren'ny Tsena Sosialy”. |
4 | The process has lead to a rapid growth of Syria's private sector, but also led to a continuous increase in poverty levels and an exponential income inequality within the private sector. | Nitondra haingana be nankany amin'ny firoboroboan'ny sehatra tsy miankina tao Siria ilay ezaka, nefa koa nitondra nankany amin'ny fitohizan'ny fitomboan'ny haavon'ny fahantràna sy ny tsy fitovian'ny fidirambolan'ny ao anatin'ny sehatra tsy miankina. |
5 | Abu Fares lashed out on this disturbing trend in a post he called, “The Syrian Private Sector: A Socioeconomic Farce“: | Nitroatra i Abu Fares nanoloana ity lohahevitra manaitra ity, tao anatina lahatsoratra iray nantsoiny hoe: “Ny Sehatra Tsy Miankina Siriana: Sangy ratsy ara-tsosialy sy ara-toekarena“: |
6 | Officially disclosed salaries in the Syrian private sector range from the minimum full-time wage of $125 to $42,000 a month. | Ny karama voambàra tamin'ny fomba ofisialy teo amin'ny Sehatra Tsy miankia Siriana, ho an'ny ora feno, dia miainga amin'ny $125 ($=Dolara) ny ambany indrindra ary tonga amin'ny $42.000 ny volana iray. |
7 | … This is our current state of affairs in a nutshell and 15 years after the government cut the leash and set loose a whimpering private sector in an attempt to help rebuild the dismal economy. | … Io aloha izao no zava-misy amin'ny fandraharahantsika amin'izao fotoana raha atao anaty teny fohy sy tao anatin'ny 15 taona namelàn'ny governemanta halàlaka, nahatonga ny sehatra tsy miankina nitsipozipozy hanàndrana hanarina ny toekarena nikorosy fahana. |
8 | What did the rising stars of the Syrian open market and trendy society, the Nouveau Riche and Old Money, the crooks and their offspring, the deserving self-made millionaires and the rarest of them all, the honest entrepreneurs contribute to this country besides sucking it dry of resources, potential and wealth and devastating its environment? | Inona no nataon'ireo vato nasondrotry ny tany teo amin'ny Tsena malalaka Siriana sy ireo orinasa mahàraka ny toetr'andro, ny Nouveau Riche (mpanankarena vaovao) sy ny Old Money (Vola antitra /Vola Baoritra), ireo mpisoloky sy ny faramandimbiny, ireo mpanampitrisa noho ny ezaka nataony sy ireo vitsy an'isa sasany amin'izy rehetra ireny, ary ireo mpandraharaha tsongoim-bolo mba ho fandraisana anjarany tamin'ity firenena ity ankoatry ny famelàny azy hangàina sy ho lany otrikarena, ny fahaiza-manao sy ny hareny ary ny fanimbàna ny tontolo iainana ao aminy? |
9 | Abu Fares describes several ailments and shortcomings in the private sector, including its complete disregard to social responsibility, the environment and tax evasion. | Abu Fares dia manoritsoritra rofy sy tsy fahatomombànana maro eo amin'ny sehatra tsy miankina, isan'izany ny tsy firaharahiany ny andraikiny ara-tsosialy, ny tontolo iainana ary ny fandosirana hetra. |
10 | Ehsani, a Syrian economist based in the US, published a detailed rebuttal of Abu Fares‘ post on Prof. Joshua Landis‘ Syria Comment. | Ehsani, Siriana iray mpahay toekarena monina any Etazonia, dia namoaka fanamelohana amin'ny antsipirihany an'ilay lahatsoratra nataon'i Abu Fares‘ mikasika ny Syria Comment, bilaogin'i Prof. Joshua Landis. |
11 | In a post titled, “The Sin in Syria is Low Wages“, Ehsani argues that while economic reforms will inevitably leave some people worse off, they are unavoidable and should be pursued even more rapidly by the government. | Ao anatina lahatsoratra iray mitondra ny lohateny hoe: “Ny Tsiny ao Siria dia ny Karàma Varimasaka” [Ang], i Ehsani dia milaza fa raha toa ny fanavaozana ara-toekarena tsy maintsy handona mafy ny olona sasany, tsy azo ihodivirana izy ireny ary tokony ho tohizana sy ho hafainganin'ny governemanta haingana. |
12 | He also proposes that the main problem isn't how much money the better-off could be making, but rather how little money the ones at the bottom are making: | Manolo-kevitra ihany koa izy fa ny olana fototra dia tsy izay vola mety ho azon'ny saranga metimety, fa ny hakelin'ny vola raisin'ireo erý amin'ny tendro ilany: |
13 | To look at the problem in a different way, we should not be shocked at the bank manager who earns $42,000 a month but the accountant who goes home with only $400 at the end of the month and must face his family. | Mba hijerena ilay olana amin'ny zoro / fijery hafa, tsy tokony hampivonto fo antsika mihitsy ny hoe ny mpitantana banky iray mahazo $42.000 isam-bolana, fa ilay mpikirakira vola (comptable) $400 monja no entiny mody rehefa faran'ny volana ary tsy maintsy miatrika ny ankohonany. |
14 | It is not the Four Seasons hotel and its prices that should dismay us but the fact that Damascus only has one 5-star hotel. | Tsy ny hotely Four Seasons sy ny sàrany no hampivareraka antsika fa ny hoe tsy misy afa-tsy hotely iray no manana Kintana 5 ao Damas. |
15 | Dubai has over 70. | Manana maherin'ny 70 i Dubaï. |
16 | Similarly, it is not the $170,000 Beemer that should make us angry but the fact that so many Syrians must still ride “battered micro-buses with 9 sweaty (and stinking) passengers” who live below the poverty line. | Toy izany koa, tsy ny Beemer misanda $170.000 no tokony haharangitra antsika, fa ny fisian'ny hoe mbola maro ny Siriana no mandeha amin'ireny fitateram-bahoaka madinika mikaperoperotra iarahana olona 9 tera-tsemboka (sy mantsina) ireny, izay miaina any ambanin'ny maridrefim-pahantràna. |
17 | His proposals at moving forward revolved around reforming the tax code, and introducing strict controls over tax evasion, and eventually for Syria to make a complete break with its socialist history: | Ny tolo-keviny ho enti-mandroso dia mifantoka amin'ny fanavaozana ny lalànan'ny fitantanan-ketra sy ny fampidirana fanarahamaso henjana momba ny fandosirana hetra, ary azo eritreretina koa ny hanapàhan'i Siria ny fifamatorany amin'ny tantara sosialista niainany: |
18 | Syria will never put its economic house in order unless it makes a clean break from socialism. | Tsy hahalamina ny tokantrano ara-toekarenany mihitsy i Siria raha tsy manapaka tanteraka ny fifamatorany amin'ny sosialisma. |
19 | Introducing vague German economic terminology and saying that we are now a “social market economy” is not enough. | Tsy ampy ny fampidirana fotsiny ireo fomba fiteny Alemana momba ny toekarena sy ny filazana fa ao anatin'ny “Toekaren'ny Tsena Sosialy” izao isika . |
20 | For a country with such limited financial resources, our government has no business being in the business of making shoes, cloths, tires, bottled water, beer and 244 other constantly losing establishments. | Ho anà firenena iray izay voafetra ihany ny loharanom-bolany, ny governemantantsika tsy hila raharaha mihitsy any amin'ny famokarana kiraro, akanjo, kodiarana, rano anaty tavoahangy, labiera sy karazan'orinasa hafa miisa 244 miditra fatiantoka lava izao. |
21 | Every manager in charge of these inefficient businesses sees his job as a license to steal and plunder. | Ny mpitantana tsirairay any amin'ireny orinasa tsy mitera-bokatsoa ireny dia mahita ny toerana nametrahana azy ireo ho toy ny fahazoan-dàlana hangalatra sy hanao tantely afa-drakotra. |
22 | In his reply to the post, Abu Fares recalls a personal story about his own experience in the private sector: | Ao anatin'ny valinteny nataony ho an'ilay lahatsoratra, Abu Fares dia mamerina tantara iray manokana niainany tao anatin'ny sehatra tsy miankina: |
23 | Among my more shameful memories is sitting on a board meeting for a new venture, a huge manufacturing plant in Syria, where the main topic of discussion was the hiring of Indian foremen and supervisors because qualified Syrians would not work for the pathetically low salaries the board members were willing to offer. | Anisan'ireo fahatsiarovana nahamenatra indrindra ny nipetrahana tanaty filankevim-pitantànana hanàpaka tetikasa vaovao iray, ny ozinina goavana indrindra eto Siria, izay ny tena foto-dresaka dia ny fandraisana sefosefo sy mpitantana ambony Indiana hiasa satria ireo Siriana manana ny fahaiza-manao ho amin'izany dia tsy mety hiasa amina karàma varimasaka nokasain'ireo mpitantana hatolotra. |
24 | The debate included many participants in the comment sections of both articles. | Nahitàna mpandray anjara maro ilay adihevitra, na izany tao anatin'ny sokajy fametrahana fanamarihana, na tany anatin'ny lahatsoratra. |
25 | Alex, commenting on Ehsani‘s post, says that the Syrian government should listen more, and better, to what its people actually want: | Alex, nanamarika tao amin'ny lahatsoratr'i Ehsani, milaza fa tokony hihaino misimisy kokoa, ary mihaino tsara izay tena filàn'ny vahoakany amin'izao fotoana ny governemanta Siriana: |
26 | Before we decide to move totally to the right, we need to somehow “ask the Syrian people” how far they want their country to move away from socialism. | Alohan'ny tena handraisantsika fanapahan-kevitra hoe hikisaka miankavanana, tsy mantsy ilaintsika, na ahoana na ahoana, ny “manontany ny vahoaka Siriana” hoe hatraiza no tian-dry zareo hanaovana dingana hialàna amin'ny sosialisma. |
27 | Proper opinion polls should be conducted instead of relying solely on the opinions of experts (from visiting western bankers, to Baath party representatives in government meetings) who advice decision makers on how and how far to reform. | Tokony hanao fitsapan-kevitra madio tsara ho solon'ny fitokiana fotsiny amin'ny fijerin'ireo manampahaizana manokana (hatramin'ny fitsidihana ireo mpitantana banky tandrefana, ka hatrany amin'ireo solombavambahoakan'ny antoko Baath tao amin'ny fivorian'ny governemanta) izay manoro hevitra ireo mpanapa-kevitra ny amin'ny fomba atao sy ny hoe hatraiza no havaozina. |
