2 | Former Zambian President Rupiah Banda whose MMD government lost to incumbent President Michael Sata's Patriotic Front (PF) in the 2011 elections has stated that he did not contest the results because he did not want the country to go to war which his opponents were seemingly ready for. | Nanambara ny Filoha Zambiana teo aloha Rupiah Banda, avy amin'ny antoko MMD, izay resin'ny filoha ankehitriny, Michael Sata avy ao amin'ny Mandan'ny Tia Tanindrazana (Patriotic Front (PF) tamin'ny fifidianana 2011 fa tsy nanohitra ny valim-pifidianana izy satria tsy tiany hiatrika ady ny firenena, raha toa kosa ka nivonona tamin'izany ady izany ny mpifaandrina aminy. |

5 | A YouTube video recently surfaced of an interview with Afrik Production TV during his stint at the Boston University in the United States last year. | Nivoaka vao haingana ny lahatsary YouTube ahitana resadresaka tao amin'ny Fahitalavitra Afrik Production nandritra ny fandalovan'ny filoha teo aloha tao amin'ny Oniversite Boston ao Etazonia tamin'ny taon-dasa. |
6 | In the interview Mr Banda said: | Tamin'ny resadresaka, hoy Andriamatoa Banda: |
7 | […] From the very beginning, it was very clear that I preached acceptance of the results of the elections. | […] Teny am-piandohana, nazava tsara fa nilaza ny fanekeko ny valim-pifidianana aho. |
8 | Of course, I must say that perhaps I was almost sure that I would win […] It (the result) was very close I could have contested but, you know, the atmosphere was already very poisoned in the country. | Eny, lazaiko fa angamba efa natoky tena ihany aho fa tokony handresy […] Raha tena nifanakaiky be (ny valim-pifidianana) angamba afaka notoheriko ihany saingy, fantatrao, fa efa tena niharatsy ny toe-draharaha tao amin'ny firenena. |
9 | My opponent, the one who won the election, had already publicly stated that if they don't win, they are going to go to war and started sharpening knives in the streets, and things start that way. | Ny mpifanandrina amiko, izay nandresy tamin'ny fifidianana, efa nilaza am-pahibemaso fa raha tsy mandresy izy ireo, dia hanambana ady ary handranitra antsy eny an-dalambe, ary toy izany ny fanombohan'ny toe-javatra. |
10 | I did not want to be the one to be blamed for shedding the blood of the Zambian people. | Tsy te ho isan'ny hahazo tsiny amin'ny fandatsahana ny ràn'ireo vahoaka zambiana aho. |
11 | One reaction to the video by katebebe1, reads: | Hoy ny vakin'ny fihetseham-po iray tamin'ny lahatsary navoakan'i katebebe1: |
12 | Rupiah, had you been this focused and thoughtful in your public appearances, you would have been easily re-elected. | Rupiah, nifantoka izany ve ianao ary nihevitra izany tamin'ny fisehoanao imasom-bahoaka, mety ho voafidy indray ianao tamin'izany. |
13 | But you allowed the sycophancy of your lieutenants define your public image. | Saingy ny fieboebon'ireo lefitrao no namaritra ny endrikao imasom-bahoaka. |
14 | I blame your handlers as much as I blame you. | Omeko tsiny ireo tanan'ankavananao thaka ny anomezako tsiny anao. |
15 | Mr Banda peacefully handed over office to the then newly elected President Sata a couple of days after the September 20, 2011 elections and has since been engaged in international assignments including a brief residency at Boston University in the United States where the above interview was conducted. | Tao anatin'ny filaminana no nanoloran'Andriamatoa Banda ny fahefana ho an'ny filoha vao voafidy Sata roa andro taorian'ny fifidianana 20 Septambra 2011 ary nanomboka hatreo no nanatontosany iraka iraisampirenena maro ka anisan'izany ny fandalovana fohy tao amin'ny Oniversiten'i Boston, ao Etazonia izay nanatontosana ity resadresaka niarahana taminy hitantsika eto ambony ity. |
