4 | It rained in Lebanon, and Beirut's rubbish, which has been pilling up alongside roads for months, turned the capital's roads into “rivers of garbage.” | Avy ny orana tao Libanona ary nivangongo manerana ny arabe nandritra ny volana maromaro ny fako ao Beirota, nivadika ho “reniranom-pako” ny araben'ny renivohitra. |
5 | The mounting rubbish, which activists have been protesting against for months, clogged up the city's drainage system, and fears of a cholera epidemic don't seem unrealistic. | Tampin'ny ny fiavosan'ny fako, nahatonga ny mpikatroka hanao fihetsiketsehana nandritra ny volana maromaro, ny tatatra fanarian-drano ao an-tanàna, ary tsy lazaina ho tsy azo visavisaina ny tahotra isian'ny valan'aretina kôlera. |
6 | On the You Stink campaign page on Facebook, activists warn of a cholera outbreak: | Ao amin'ny pejin'ny hetsika Maimbo ianao ao amin'ny Facebook, mampitandrina ny amin'ny mety hielezan'ny valan'aretina kôlera ny mpikatroka: |
7 | What will we tell our children tomorrow? | Inona no holazaintsika amin'ny zanatsika rahampitso? |
8 | That we are the generation which witnessed the flood of rubbish? | Fa taranaka nanatri-maso ny fiavosan'ny fako isika? |
9 | That we are the generation which saw cholera outbreaks? | Fa taranaka nahita valan'aretina Kôlera isika? |
10 | And when they ask us why that happened, what do we tell them? | Ary raha manontany antsika ny antony nitrangan'izany izy ireo, inona no havalintsika? |
11 | Do we tell them we are sorry because we were occupied with the problems of politicians with each other after they convinced us that they are our problems and did not allow us to unite? | Lazaintsika azy ireo ve hoe miala tsiny isika satria sahirana tamin'ny olan'ny mpanao politika ny tsirairay rehefa noresen'izy ireo lahatra izahay fa olanay izany ary tsy navelany hiray hina izahay? |
12 | What do we tell them? | Inona no havalintsika azy ireo? |
13 | That a number of young men and women took to the streets and we did all we could to stop them? | Fa maro ny tanora lahy sy vavy nidina an-dalambe ary nanao izay rehetra azo natao izahay mba hanafoanana izany? |
14 | The secular You Stink, or Tol3et Re7atkom movement, started a wave of protests in August which attracted thousands of Lebanese from all walks to life to protest against the trash crisis, which soon expanded to include a broader range of demands as other groups joined the demonstration bandwagon. | Nanomboka nanao onjam-pihetsiketsehana ny hetsika laika Maimbo ianao na Tol3et Re7atkom tamin'ny volana Aogositra izay nahasarika Libaney an'arivony avy amin'ny saranga samihafa mba hanohitra ny krizin'ny fako, izay avy eo nitatra tamin'ireo fitakiana marobe satria nanatevin-daharana ny fihetsiketsehana teny am-pandehanana ireo vondrona hafa. |
15 | It kicked off calling for sustainable solutions to the waste problem, and got people on the streets, but the situation quickly escalated beyond trash towards addressing larger problems related to corruption within the current government. | Natomboka tamin'ny fitakiana vahaolana maharitra amin'ny olan'ny fako izany, ary nahatonga ny olona nidina an-dalambe, saingy nivoatra tsy nijanona tamin'ny olan'ny fako ny toe-draharaha fa niresaka ireo olana lehibe kokoa mikasika ny kolikoly ao anatin'ny governemanta amin'izao fotoana izao. |
16 | From the primary concern of protesting against the officials' mishandling of the refuse problem following the closure of the country's largest landfill in July, protesters called for the government's resignation, an end to corruption and fresh parliamentary elections, among other demands. | Hatramin'ny fiahiahiana voalohany niteraka fihetsiketsehana manohitra ny tsy fahaizan'ny manampahefana mitantana ny olan'ny fako taorian'ny fanakatonana ny toeram-panariam-pako lehibe indrindra ao amin'ny firenena tamin'ny volana Jolay, niantso ny fametraham-pialan'ny governemanta, sy ny fampitsaharana ny kolikoly ny mpanao fihetsiketsehana ary mitaky fifidianana parlemantera vaovao, ankoatra ireo fitakiana hafa. |
17 | Lebanon, already suffering from a poor infrastructure and daily electricity cuts, has had no president for over a year. | Tsy nanana Filoha i Libanona nandritra ny herintaona, efa miaritra faharatsian'ny fotodrafitrasa sy ny fahatapahan'ny herinaratra isan'andro. |
18 | In 2009, its parliament extended its term until 2017, with no elections, citing instability as a reason. | Tamin'ny taona 2009, nitarin'ny antenimiera hatramin'ny taona 2017 ny fe-potoam-piasany, tsy misy ny fifidianana, lazaina fa noho ny korontana no antony. |
19 | On Blog Baladi, Najib warns: | Tao amin'ny bilaogy Baladi, mampitandrina i Najib: |
20 | So what exactly happens when it starts to rain? | Ka inona marina no mitranga rehefa manomboka avy ny orana? |
21 | Heavy rainstorms will “cause the garbage to disintegrate into the soil reaching underground water reserves such as natural wells and fossil water (non-renewable)”, which means that diluted garbage would “sink into the soil, spreading downwards and outwards in a characteristic brush-stroke shape known as a plume, contaminating soil and water as it moved”. | Hahatonga ny fako ho levona anaty tany ka hipàka any amin'ireo tahirin-drano ambanin'ny tany tahaka ny vovo sy ny lava-drano (tsy azo havaozina) voajanahary ny orambe mikija, izay midika fa io fako voatampo-drano io dia “hitsininika any anaty tany, hiparitadritaka etsy sy ery toy ny volomborona, handoto ny tany sy ny rano araka ny ikisahany”. |
22 | Other problems include: | Anisan'ny olana ihany koa ny: |
23 | - Landfills contaminate the air that we are breathing with various toxic substances. | - Mandoto ny rivotra izay fohintsika misy akora misy poizina isan-karazany ny toerana fanariam-pako. |
24 | - Contaminated water could lead to the widespread of several diseases such as Cholera, Typhoid, Dysentery and Dengue Fever. | - Mety hitarika fihanaky ny aretina maro samihafa tahaka ny kôlerà, tefoedra, fivalanan-drà sy ny tazo dengy ny rano voaloto. |
25 | Add to that typhoid fever, food poisoning, gastroenteritis, and enteric fever. | Manampy izany ny tazon'ny tefoedra, ny sakafo voapoizina, ny aretin'ny tsinay sy ny vavony, ary ny tazo amin'ny aretin-tsinay. |
26 | - Populations exposed to untreated chemicals witness an increase in cancer rates. | - Manatri-maso ny fiakaran'ny tahan'ny homamiadana ireo andian'olona miaritra fangaro shimika tsy voakarakara. |
27 | He also shares this photography post, showing photographs to roads with overflowing rivers of garbage. | Nizara ity lahatsoratra an-tsary ity ihany koa izy, mampiseho sarin'ny arabe rakotra reniranom-pako. |
28 | Health blog eTobb warns: | Mampitandrina ny bilaogy ara-pahasalamana eTobb: |
29 | heavy rainstorms [..] will cause the garbage to disintegrate into the soil reaching underground water reserves such as natural wells and fossil water (non-renewable). | Hahatonga ny fako hilevona any ambanin'ny tany hahatratra ny tahirin-drano ambanin'ny tany tahaka ny vovo sy ny lava-drano (tsy azo havaozina) ny orambe mivatravatra [..]. |
30 | These reserves serve as a main source of water for a very big percentage of Lebanon's population and with all the contaminants seeping into them, we are bound to get our share of this unexplainable pollution in our drinking, cleaning and irrigation water. | Ireny tahirin-drano ireny no ahazoana ny rano betsaka indrindra ho an'ny ankamaroan'ny mponina ao Libanona amin'ireo karazan-mpandotoana miraraka ao amin'izy ireny, manana adidy isika hanazava ity loto ao amin'ny rano fisotro, fanadiovana sy fitarihan-drano tsy hay azavaina ity. . |
31 | On social media, bloggers were quick to share videos and photographs of the crisis, they have spent months warning people about. | Tao amin'ny media sosialy, nizara lahatsary sy sarin'ny olana avy hatrany ny bilaogera, nandany volana maromaro izy ireo nampitandrina ny olona mikasika izany. |

34 | As we warned months ago, this was bound to happen. | Araka ny efa nampitandremanay volana maro lasa izay, tsy maintsy hitranga izao. |

38 | Garbage in #Lebanon is a concrete exmple that cant b ignored by any1, it represents: the corruption, no election, no work, no accountability - Abir Ghattas (@AbirGhattas) October 25, 2015 | Ohatra mivaingana tsy azon'ny tsirairay atao tsirambina ny fako ao Libanona, mampiseho: ny kolikoly, ny tsy fisian'ny fifidianana, ny tsy fisian'ny asa, ary ny tsy fisian'ny fandraisana andraikitra izao. |
