29 | Temesgen Feseha noted: | Temesgen Feseha nanamarika: |
30 | I was getting annoyed with all the fuss about obama coming here. | Leo tamin'ity resaka fientanentanana tsy mahazatra amin'ity fitsidihan'i Obama ho avy ity aho. |
31 | The city is supposed to be in lockdown for the safety of his visit. | Heverina hihidy tanteraka ny tanàna mba hampilamina ny fitsidihany. |
32 | But After hearing that some of the bloggers and journalists were being released, i think it's worth it. | Saingy taorian'ny nandrenesana fa navotsotra ny sasantsasany tamin'ireo blaogera sy mpanao gazety dia nieritreritra aho fa nilaina ilay izy. |
33 | Now i hope the US President comes to visit every year. | Ankehitriny manantena aho fa ho avy isan-taona ny filohan'i Etazonia. |
34 | Every month if he's not busy. | Isam-bolana raha tsy sahirana izy. |
35 | Or even saying he's coming, even if he doesn't. | Na miteny hoe ho avy izy na dia tsy ho avy aza. |
36 | # LeasingFreedomOfSpeech # FreedomOfSpeechIsVisiting Samuel Gebru disagreed that President Obama's visit prompted their release: | Samuel Gebru tsy resy lahatra fa ny fitsidihan'ny Filoha Obama no nanafaingana ny famotsorana azy ireo : |
37 | Simply put, the terrorism charges against journalists like Tesfalem Waldyes and Reeyot Alemu were absurd and groundless to begin with but don't be mistaken, their releases have nothing to do with President Barack Obama's upcoming visit to Ethiopia. | Mipetraka tsotra, fahadalana sy tsy misy fototra ny fiampangana fampihorohoroana ireo mpanao gazety tahaka an'i Tesfalem Waldyes sy Reeyot Alemu ho fanombohana saingy aza diso fihevitra, tsy misy ifandraisany amin'ny fitsidihan'ny Filoha Obama ho avy io ny famotsorana azy ireo. |
38 | Some speculate that the release may have been linked to this week's UN-sponsored Conference on Financing for Development (#FFD3), taking place in Addis Ababa. | Misy ireo sasantsasany manombana fa ny famotsorana dia mety misy ifandraisany amin'ny Valandresaka Momba ny Famatsiam-bola ho amin'ny Fampandrosoana (#FFD3) tohanan'ny Firenena Mikambana, izay tontosaina ao Addis Ababa. |
39 | Jomanex, a close friend of the Zone9 group, | Jomanex, namana akaikin'ny vondrona Zone9, |
40 | Development under dictatorship is the the “prosperity” of few individuals, #Ethiopia is an example. #FFD3 #Corruption #FreeZone9Bloggers | Fampandrosoana ao anatin'ny jadona no “fanambinan'ny” olona vitsivitsy, Ohatra amin'izany i Ethiopia. |
41 | - Jomanex (@jomanex) July 13, 2015 And Mekdi G was swift to point out the contradictory nature of Ethiopia's development agenda: | Ary mailaka i Mekdi G tamin'ny fanondroana ny fifanoherankevitra hita ao amin'ny fampandrosoana an'i Ethiopia: |
42 | If you really cares for the real development, stop killing the dreams of Ethiopian youth in the name of terrorism! #FFD3 #FreeZone9Bloggers | Raha tena miahy ho amin'ny fampandrosoana tokoa ianao dia atsaharo ny famonoana amin'ny anaran'ny fampihorohoroana ny nofinofin'ny tanora Ethiopiana |
