1 | Zambia: Netizens Divided Over Sata's Apology to Angola | Zambia: Misara-kevitra Momba Ilay Fifonana Nataon'i Sata Tamin'i Angola Ny Mpisera |
2 | When he took over as Zambia's president after the September 20 election, Michael Sata's first diplomatic decision, blunder or not, was to turn down an invitation by the Malawian president Bingu wa Mutharika to attend a summit of the Common Market for Eastern and Southern Africa. | Rehefa tonga teo amin'ny fitondrana an'i Zambia i Michael Sata taorian'ny tamin'ny 20 septambra, ny hetsika diplaomatika nataony volaohany, na ho ratsy na ho tsara, dia ny fandavana ny fanasana nataon'i Bingu Wa Mutharika, filohan'i Malawi, hanatrika ny fihaonana an-tampon'ny Tsena Iombonana aty Afrika Andrefana sy Afrika Atsimo. |
3 | A second potentially explosive diplomatic move which has not been confirmed by State House, is President Sata's authorisation of a banned radio station in Malawi, Joy FM, to set up base in town of Chipata, which is less than 15 km from the Malawian border. | Ny hetsika ara-diplaomatika faharoa izay tsy mbola nohamarinin'ny State House (Lapam-panjakana), dia ny fanomezan-dalana nomen'i Michael Sata Radio anankiray tsy nahazo alàlana tany Malawi, ny Joy FM, ary napetraka ao Chipata, tanàna 15Km miala ny sisin-tanin'i Malawi. |
4 | The radio station is apparently owned by the son of former Malawian president, Bakili Muluzi, and intends to broadcast into Malawi. | An'ny zanakalahin'ny filoha tany Malawi taloha, Bakili Muluza, io radio io, ary manam-pikasana handefa ny onjam-peony any Malawi. |

7 | But the biggest talking point about the way Sata is handling diplomatic issues, is his apology to the Angolan government for the decision by the former ruling party MMD to support the then Angolan rebel movement, UNITA and its late leader Dr. Jonas Savimbi. | Fa ny tena zavatra lehibe nataon'i Sata teo amin'ny hetsika ara-diplaomatika dia ny fifonana nataony tamin'ny fanjakana any Angola noho ny fanapahan-kevitra noraisin'ny antokon'ny fitondrana taloha, MMD, hanohana ireo mpanohitra tany Angola, UNITA sy ny mpitarika azy izay efa maty dia i Dr. Jonas Savimbi. |
8 | Ironically, Michael Sata was at one time Minister Without Portfolio in the MMD government, a position technically third in the hierarchy from the president. | Mampihomehy fa minisitra tsy nanana minisitera tamin'ny andron'ny MMD i Michael Sata, izany hoe raha jerena amin'ny lafiny teknika dia laharana fahatelo izy eo amin'ny ambaratongan'ny fitantanana tao amin'ny filoham-panjakana. |
9 | Zambians on the Facebook group, Zambian Peoples Pact, have been commenting. | Naneho hevitra tao amin'ny facebook ny Zambiana, Zambian Peoples Pact. |
10 | Mambo Phiri says that such issues need to be dealt behind the scenes by career diplomats: | Mambo Phiri nilaza fa ny hetsika ara-diplaomatika tahaka itony dia tokony tsy natao ho hitan'ny be sy ny maro raha tena diplaomaty izy: |
11 | MCS [Michael Chilufya Sata] has essentially admitted that Zambia committed an ACT OF WAR by supplying arms to UNITA'S JONAS SAVIMBI. | Nanaiky tokoa i MCS (Michael Sata Tshilufya) fa nihantsy ady i Zambia tamin'ny nanomezany fitaovam-piadiana ireo miaramilan'ny UNITA notarihan'i Jonas Savimbi. |
12 | Ladies, gentlemen, & blind followers can someone explain to the President that there is a reason why we have career diplomats to deal with such issues behind the scenes. | O rey olona ô, ireo mpanaraka anjambany fotsiny, misy afaka manazava amin'ny filoha ve fa misy antony ny hetsika ara-diplaomatika ary ny tahaka itony dia tsy fampiseho vahoaka. |
13 | Bane (friends) we are already poor in Zambia we do not need tension or war because being a refugee is not a sexy look. | Efa mahantra isika aty Zambia ka tsy mila fanakorontanana na ady indray satria ny mahampitsoam-ponenana dia tsy mahafinaritra mihitsy |
14 | Thanx Stan Booga says: | Stan Booga milaza: |
15 | Is the apology by MCS to the Angolan government over UNITA support, likely to be analysed as admission that Zambia was interfering in Angola by supplying arms? | Ny fifonana nataon'i Zambia tamin'i Angola tamin'ny nanohanany ny UNITA ve mendrika ny hanaovana fanadihadihana tahaka ny hoe fidiran'i Zambia amin'i Angola tamin'ny namatsiany fitaovam-piadiana? |
16 | If yes, ANOTHER BLUNDER MCS! | Raha eny, fahadisoana ataon'i MCS koa izay! |
17 | Peter Chavula, without necessarily elaborating, thought that the apology is good. | Peter Chavula, tsy mandalina firy, mihevitra fa tsara iny fifonana iny. |
18 | Reading between the lines of his post, he could be suggesting that Zambia could be buying cheaper fuel from neighbouring Angola: Sata…. | Raha vakiana ny voalaza ao amin'ny soratra navoakany, angamba hoy izy mety hahazo solika amin'ny vidiny mora kokoa amin'i Angola i Zambia noho iny fihetsika iny: |
19 | Good move on angola The big picture | Sata…. tsara be iny nataonao iny Ny tena lehibe |
20 | On Twitter, @munshyamunshya, whose timeline was critical of President Sata's apology to Angola, wrote in one tweet: | Tao amin'ny twitter, @munshyamunshya, izay nanompana ny sorany tamin'ny fitsikerana ny fifonana nataon'i Sata tamin'i Angola, nanoratra tao amin'ny twitter: |
21 | #Sata should learn diplomacy from Malawi. | #Sata tokony hianatra diplaomasia amin'i Malawi. |
22 | When he demanded that Malawi apologise to him for the deportation Malawi said no! | Raha nilaza izy fa tokony hifona aminy i Malawi noho ny sazy politika dia nolavin'i Malawi izany #Sata tokony hianatra ny diplaomasian'i Malawi! |
23 | Asking about Sata being the third in President Chiluba's hierarchy, @munshyamunshya asked: | Manontany mikasika ny maha fahatelo an'i Sata tamin'ny ambaratongan-drafitra teo amin'ny fitantanana tamin'ny andron'i Chiluba, @munshyamunshya manontany: |
24 | And wasnt Sata the number 3 in Chiluba's government? | Ary tsy fahatelo moa no nisy an'i Sata tamin'i Chiluba? |
25 | If he did not like the policy then why did he not resign? | Raha tsy tiany ny politika nahoana raha nametra-pialana izy? |
26 | #Sata is wrong! | Diso i #Sata ! |

28 | ah ah I had no idea we owe Angola an apology | ah ah tsy azoko mihitsy hoe nahoana isika no hifona amin'i Angola. |
29 | On the Zambian Watchdog website, there were varied reactions to the President's apology. Don Corleone saw economic benefits in it: | Ao amin'ny Zambian Watchdog website (Tranokalan'ny Mpanaramaso Zambiana), no ahitana fanehoan-kevitra samy hafa momba ny fifonana nataon'ny filoha Zambiana. |
30 | ECONOMIC corporation with Angola is vital. | Don Corleone nahita tombony ara-ekonomika tamin'ilay izy: |
31 | | Tena zava-dehibe ny fifandraisana ara-EKONOMIKA amin'i Angola… Manana solika ny mpiray vodirindrina amintsika ary mety hahazo tombony amin'izany isika…dingana tsara izay… Mifona amin'ny anaran'ny MMD… Mila mifandray amin'i Angola amin'ny alalan'ny lalamby isika…dingana tsara izay Andriamatoa Filoha…tsy mila mankany Moyen-Orient isika vao mahita solika fa manana maro ny mpiray vodirindrina amintsika.. |
32 | .our neiba has oil and sure we can benefit from them. | Mbingu Wakanaka masiaka amin'ny fanakianany ny filoha Sata: |
33 | .apologising on behalf of MMD . .we need to link Angola thru our railway system. | Tsy manana toetra maha filoha azy mihitsy io lahiantitra io. |
34 | .its a good step Mr President,,,we dont need to go to the middle east for oil when our good neiba has abundant reserves of oil.. | |
35 | Mbingu Wakanaka was very blunt in his criticism of President Sata: | Mampisalasala foana ny zavatra ataony. |
36 | This old man is not presidential material. | Indray andro dia nandohalika izy raha nanorokoa pretra iray. |
37 | The things he doing are quite embarasing sometimes. | Tsy mendrika hitondra firenena ny manana toetra tahaka izany. |
38 | The other day he knelt down to kiss the hand of that British clergy man.Such behaviour is not befitting a head of state. | Ankehitriny indray izy mifona amin'ny anaran'ny Zambiana noho ny heloka natan'izy sy Chiluba tamin'i Angola, kanefa mihevitra fa lavitry ny fanankianana izy. |
39 | Now he is apologising on behalf of zambians for the wrongs he and Chiluba committed against the Angolans but meanwhile he is distancing himself from blame. | Miharihary izao fa tsy afaka hisolo tena antsika eto an-toerana sy any ivelany izy, satria na dia ny fiteniny aza tsy mendrika ny ho filoham-pirenena izy. |
40 | The man clearly can not represent us properly home and at international fora because even the way he talks does not potray the status of a head of state. | |
41 | Not that he was the best amongst the candidates! | Tsy hoe izy akory no tsara indrindra tamin'ireo mpilatsaka hofidiana! |
42 | People just wanted change and also Bwezani did not do his homework properly. | Nitady fiovana ny olona ary tsy nahatanteraka ny asany tsara koa i Bwezani. |
43 | More blunders and comedy is stock for us and the world at large. | Mbola misy asa sy zavatra mampihomehy miandry antsika sy izao tontolo izao raha izao no mitohy. |
44 | Let us wait for the next movie as time unwinds. | Andrasantsika ny sarimihetsika manaraka. |
45 | Very sad day when a President makes such careless remarks. | Tena andro ratsy tokoa raha filoham-pirenena no hanaovana fanamarihana tahaka izao. |
46 | I am no RB supporter but I think MCS [Michael Chilufya Sata] should be restrained in the things he says. | Tsy mpanara-dia an'i RB aho fa ataoko kosa fa tokony hisaina amin'ny zavatra teneniny i MCS. |
47 | He is not PF President, he is the President of Zambia. | Tsy filohan'ny PF izy fa filohan'i Zambia. |
48 | He needs to remember that he is not in opposition anymore and he must bear national interests first and PF politics second. | Tokony hotsaroany fa tsy ao amin'ny antoko mpanohitra instony izy ka tokony hitandro mandrakariva ny tombotsoan'ny firenena aloha vao ny politikany miaraka amin'ny PF . |
49 | The President was in for another dose of harsh criticism by Peema: | Voankinan'i Peema mafy koa ny filoha: |
50 | To just say something like that off the cuff is the height of irresponsibility. | Ny fitenenana zavatra tahaka izao dia fanehoana ny tsy fandraisana andraikitra mihitsy. |
51 | Incidentally, the Angolan war ended through FTJ's efforts. | Nitsahatra ny ady tany Angola noho ny ezaka nataon'i FTJ. |
52 | The peace treaty is not called “Lusaka Peace Accord” for nothing. | Tsy nantsoina fahatany hoe “Fifanarahana Fandriampahalemana tany Lusaka” ny fifanarahana natao. |
53 | We stand to gain nothing by him being so careless in his remarks. | Tsy mahazo na inona na inona izahay raha manankiana ny filoha. |
54 | This man needs educating in foreign policy or we are all in trouble. | Tokony hianatra ny politika hampiharina amin'ny vahiny ity rangahy ity satria izay no manahirana antsika. |
55 | There is a Zambia-Angola joint permanent commission where this could have been discussed. | Misy koa ny vaomiera Angola-Zambia ary tokony ho tany no niresahana ity zavatra ity. |
56 | Away from the media. | Lavitry ny media. |
57 | Incidentally, what happens if UNITA wins elections in a few years? | Inona moa no zavatra hitranga raha toa ka lany hitondra ny firenena ny UNITA ato anatin'ny taona vitsy? |
58 | Think first Mr President. | Mba efa nosaininao ihany ve izany Andriamatoa Filoha? |
59 | We all want you to succeed. | Tianay ny hahombiazana. |
60 | Maurice Makalu had a different view: | Maurice Makalu kosa manana fijery hafa: |
61 | I don't “get it” why use “blunders” in the title. | Tsy ‘azoko” ny antony ampiasaina “resabe” any amin'ny lohateny. |
62 | You mean apologising is a blunder, we should have just let the status quo continue? | Lazainareo fa tsy misy dikany ny fifonana, avelantsika hijanona amin'izao izany? |
63 | This is not a blunder. | Tsy fahadisoana izany. |
64 | If it were a chess game, Sata has moved a big piece forward to position Zambia for increased bilateral trade with Angola. | Raha kilalao echec izy ity, dia nanetsika vato goavana i Sata hametrahana an'i Zambia hanana tombony ara-barotra amin'i Angola. |
65 | The people of Western and N-Western Province will be excited that he said this. | Faly amin'ny nanaovany iny fihetsika iny ny mponina any Avaratra Andrefana. |
66 | The immediate next step now is to start talking road and rail construction projects. | Ny dingana manaraka izao dia ny firesahana ny fikasana hanao lalana sy lalamby. |
67 | This is very excellent your Excellency! | Tena tsara iny Andriamatoa Filoha! |
