1 | Saudi Arabia: A Special Twitter Hashtag for the King! | Arabia Saodita: Tenifototra Manokana Ho An'ny Mpanjaka Ao Amin'ny Twitter! |
2 | Saudi King Abdullah Bin Abdulaziz Al Saud, in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia on February 25, 2008 taken by Ammar Abd Rabbo. | Ny Mpanjaka Saodiana Abdullah Bin Abdulaziz Al Saud, tao Riyadh, Arabia Saodita tamin'ny 25 Febroary 2008, sary nalain'i Ammar Abd Rabbo. |
3 | A Saudi hashtag entitled #tal3mrak which literary translates into “May god prolong your life” or “your majesty” if translated into a Western context took Twitter by storm today. | Tenifototra iray amin'ny teny Saodiana manao hoe #tal3mrak izay raha adika ara-bakiteny dia manao hoe “Andriamanitra anie hanome tombon'andro anao” na “ny andriamanjaka” raha atao amin'ny teny Tandrefana no nandrakotra ny Twitter androany (28 Aogositra 2011). |
4 | The hashtag came as a surprise to many people who never thought Saudi netizens would have the courage to speak up in this manner in the way they address their authorities. | Zava-tsy nampoizina ho an'ny maro ilay tenifototra, izay tsy nihevitra velively fa ny Saodiana mpiondana aterineto dia hanana faharisihana hiresaka amin'ny feo avo amin'ny fomba tahaka izany rehefa mitodika amin'ireo manampahefanan-dry zareo. |
5 | At the beginning, the hashtag might have been directed to all the high ranking names in Saudi Arabia who control the market, have the freedom to do things that regular citizens are prohibited from, and live as a privileged class as they wish. | Tany am-piandohana, ilay tenifototra dia nahafaoka ireo olona ambony rehetra mifehy ny tsena ao Arabia Saodita, malalaka amin'ny fanaovan-javatra izay voaràra kosa ho an'ny sarambabem-bahoaka, ary miaina toy ny saranga niangaran'ny vintana rehetra araka izay tiany. |
6 | However, it soon became clear that it was being used to address King Abdullah of Saudi, especially when non-Saudis started using it to criticize Saudi foreign policy that fights the Arab Spring and supports dictators against their people. | Na izany aza, tsy ela dia nanjary nazava fa nampiasaina hitafàna amin'ny Mpanjaka Saodiana Abdullah, indrindra indrindra rehefa nanomboka nampiasa azy io ireo tsy Saodiana mba hitsikeràna ny politika ivelan'ny Saodiana izay manenjika ny Lohataona Arabo sy manohana ireo mpanao didy jadona mamely ny vahoakany ihany. |
7 | Saudi women activist Eman AlNafjan (@Saudiwoman) tweeted several times about the #tal3mrak hashtag: | Ilay vehivavy Saodiana mafàna fo, Eman AlNafjan (@Saudiwoman) dia im-betsaka nandefa bitsika mikasika ny tenifototra #tal3mrak: |
8 | @Saudiwoman: This hashtag #tal3mrak is making me feel old. | @Saudiwoman: Ity nifototra #tal3mrak ity dia mahatonga ahy hihevi-tena ho antitra. |
9 | Never thought there were this many Saudis not afraid. | Tsy nihevitra velively hoe nisy Saodiana maro tsy mataho-masomena toy izany. |
10 | AlNafjan has also tried to explain the hashtag in two tweets writing: | AlNafjan dia niezaka koa nanazava ilay tenifototra tanaty bitsika roa ka nanaoratra hoe: |
11 | @Saudiwoman: The hashtag #tal3mrak refers to royal family but is also used for CEOs, high ranking military officers, ministers. | @Saudiwoman: Ny tenifototra #tal3mrak dia manondro ny fianakavian'ny mpanjaka nefa koa nampiasaina ho an'ireo PDG, manamboninahitra ambony amin'ny tafika, minisitra sns. |
12 | .etc 1/2 | 1/2 ary: |
13 | and: @Saudiwoman: 2/2 literal meaning of #tal3mrak “may God give you long life”,culturally its used as address&on twitter to make fun of powerful&rich Saudis | @Saudiwoman: 2/2 ny dika ara-bakitenin'ny #tal3mrak “Andriamanitra anie hanome tombon'andro anao”, ara-kolotsaina dia nampiasaina ho toy ny fiankohofana&ao amin'ny twitter dia toy ny fananihaniana ny mpitondra&mpanankarena Saodiana |
14 | Saudi blogger Ahmed Al-Omran (@ahmed) tweeted about the value of such a hashtag: | Ilay bilaogera Saodiana, Ahmed Al-Omran (@ahmed), dia nandefa bitsika momba ny hasin'ny tenifototra toy izany: |
15 | @ahmed: If you are Saudi, the #tal3mrak hashtag is… quite something. | @ahmed: Raha Saodiana ianao, ny tenifototra #tal3mrak dia … tsy dia zava-poana akory. |
16 | Al-Omran has also had his own question in this hashtag referring to the Saudi fear of religious police: | Al-Omrankoa dia nana ny fanontaniany manokana amin'ity tenifototra ity miresaka ny tahotry ny Saodiana an'ireo polisy ara-pinoana: |
17 | @ahmed: When go out on a date, are you worried that the religious police could arrest you? | @ahmed: Raha mivoaka mba mampiaraka amin'olona ianao, dia matahotra sao ho voasambotry ny polisy ara-pinoana ve? |
18 | Egyptian activist Mohamed Effat (@3effat) was one of the first Egyptians to use the hashtag, saying it is an expression of what Saudis face in their own country from the regime. | Mohamed Effat (@3effat), mafàna fo Ejiptiana, dia iray tamin'ireo Ejiptiana voalohany nampiasa ilay tenifototra, nilaza fa izy io dia fomba fiteny iray ny amin'ireo zavatra atrehan'ny Saodiana ao amin'ny firenen'izy ireo ihany noho ny ataon'ny mpitondra. |
19 | Some Saudi Twitter users voiced their disagreement with Effa, who insisted on his opinion and explained the hashtag saying: | Ny sasany amin'ireo Saodiana mpampiasa Twitter dia nikiaka ny tsy fitovoan-keviny amin'i Effa, izay niziriziry tamin'ny fomba fijeriny sady nanazava ilay tenifototra tamin'ny filazana hoe: |
20 | | @3effat: Ity tenifototra ity dia ho matoam-baovao, tsara ho anao ny manaraka azy akaiky. saodiana miteny eny am-bovonana mikasika ny olan-dry zareo sy manakiana ny mpanjakany #tal3mrak….. |
21 | @3effat: This hashtag is gonna hit news bigtime, yo out there check it out. saudis speaking up about their problems criticizing their king #tal3mrak | @3effat: Ce hashtag va faire un tabac, ne manquez pas de le suivre dans le coin. les saoudiens élèvent la voix sur leurs problèmes en critiquant leur roi #tal3mrak |
22 | Eman Hussein (@Ammouni) from Dubai showed admiration for Saudis using this hashtag saying: | Eman Hussein (@Ammouni) from Dubai showed admiration for Saudis using this hashtag saying: |

25 | Egyptian Evronia Azer (@evronia) pointed out that the King should support women's rights: | Ilay Ejiptiana, Evronia Azer (@evronia), dia nanasongadina fa ny mpanjaka dia tokony hanohana ny zon'ireo vehivavy: |
26 | @evronia: #tal3mrak u have to start by supporting women's rights! | @evronia: #tal3mrak tsy maintsy manomboka amin'ny fanohanana ny zon'ny vehivavy ianao! |
27 | Saudi female tweep Nawwarah (@nawwarah82) simply depicted how the King did not keep his promises for reforms: | Nawwarah (@nawwarah82), vehivavy Saodiana mpandefa bitsika, dia manome sary tsotra izao ny fomba tsy nitànan'ny mpanjaka ny teny nomeny momba ny fanovàna: |
28 | @nawwarah82: You promised us progress, and we found ourselves late. | @nawwarah82: Nampanantena fandrosoana ho anay ianao, ary dia nahita fahataràna izahay. |
29 | You promised us a decent life, and we faced high living expenses. | Nampanantena fiainana mendrika ho anay ianao, ary dia niatrika vidim-piainana lafobe izahay. |
30 | You promised us the policy of “the open door” and gifted us the new anti-terror law! | Nampanantena anay ny politikan'ny ‘varavarana misokatra' ianao ary dia nanome fanomezana anay ianao, ny lalàna iadiana amin'ny fampihorohoroana! |
31 | Manal Al-Sharif (@manal_alsharif), the woman who was arrested for driving her car months ago, tweeted many times under the #Tal3mrak hashtag. | Manal Al-Sharif (@manal_alsharif), ilay ramatoa izay nosamborina noho ny familiana fiara volana maro lasa izay, dia nibitsika im-betsaka nampiasa ny tenifototra #Tal3mrak. |
32 | One of her sarcastic tweets reads: | Iray amin'ireo bitsika maneso avy aminy ny hoe: |
33 | @manal_alsharif: Since your sons and daughters are 20 million and we export 9 million barrels of oil per day, in which barrel do you think we should keep our patience? | @manal_alsharif: Satria 20 tapitrisa ny zanaka lahy sy zanaka vavinao ary manondrana solika 9 tapitrisa barika isanandro isika, anaty barika toy inona re heverinao mba hitahirizanay ny faharetanay e? |
34 | Saudi blogger Sami Almalki (@iSaami) has also attempted to explain the nature of the hashtag from his own perspective: | Sami Almalki (@iSaami), bilaogera Saodiana, dia niezaka koa ny hanazava ny natioran'ilay tenifototra amin'ny fomba fijeriny manokana: |
35 | @iSaami: Note: the hashtag #tal3mrak is not specified for a certain prince or king or merchant as some people tried to divert it; it is addressed to everyone in charge of power in the Arab World. | @iSaami: Fanamarihana: ny tenifototra #tal3mrak dia tsy natokana ho an'ny karazanà printsy na mpanjaka na mpanao raharaham-barotra tahaka izay tadiavin'ny sasany hamiliana azy; io dia natodika amin'ireo rehetra manana fahefana ao anatin'ny tontolo arabo. |
