4 | Last week's announcement of renewed relations between Cuba and the United States elicited responses of hope, skepticism and even anger among anti-government advocates and bloggers in Cuba. | Fanantenàna, tsy dia fanànana toky loatra ary hatramin'ny hatezerana teny anivon'ireo bilaogera sy mpitolona mpanohitra ny governemanta no naterak'ilay fanambaràna ny fanavaozana ny fifandraisan'i Etazonia sy Kiobà natao tao Kiobà tamin'ny herinandro lasa. |
5 | Many dissenting voices in Cuba now worry that the US government has not drawn a strong enough link between diplomatic ties and improvements in human rights standards on the island. | Marobe ireo feo manohitra ankehitriny no manahy ny hoe tsy nanisy resaka mafonja loatra mampifandray ny fifamatorana diplaomatika sy ny fanatsaràna ny zon'olombelona ao amin'ny nosy i Etazonia. |
6 | Speaking with Diario de Cuba, human rights advocate and founder of the Estado de SATS intellectual forum Antonio Rodiles said Obama's decision to negotiate with Cuban authorities without consulting civil society on the island was a misstep. | Raha niresaka tamin'i Diario de Cuba, nolazain'i Antonio Rodiles, mpiaro ny zon'olombelona sy mpanorina ny sehatra fifanakalozan-dresaky ny nahita fianarana “Estado de SATS” fa hadisoam-pamindra no nataon'i Obama tamin'ny nandraisany fanapahankevitra hifampiraharaha amin'ireo Kiobàna manampahefàna nefa tsy mba naka ny hevitry ny fiarahamonim-pirenena tao amin'ilay nosy. |
7 | “To give to the regime without asking for anything in return seems to me a tremendous error.” | “Hadisoana goavana be amiko ny fanomezan-javatra ho an'ny fitondràna nefa tsy mitaky na inona na inona ho tambiny.” |
8 | Many prominent voices both from Cubans like Rodiles, who have developed a powerful presence both online and on the island, and older generations of dissidents, see the policy shift as one that will empower the Cuban government to increase social control and repression of anti-government activists. | Marobe ireo feo manana ny maha-izy azy avy ao Kiobà sy avy any ivelany, toa an'i Rodiles, no hita hatrany tamin-kery ety anaty aterineto , ary ny andian'ireo mpanohitra efa zokinjokiny dia mahita ilay fiovàna ara-politka ho toy ny iray izay hanome hery ny governemanta Kiobàna hampitombo ny fifehezana ny fiarahamonina sosialy sy ny famoretana ireo mpikatroka mafàna fo mpanohitra ny governemanta. |
9 | On social media, many have echoed the sentiments of conservative US lawmakers since the shift was announced. | Ety anaty media sosialy, hatramin'ny nanambaràna ilay fiovàna dia maro no manely ny toe-pon'ireo Amerikana mpanao lalàna mpifikitra amin'ny nentin-drazana. |
10 | Las Damas de Blanco (“Ladies in White”), an organization of women who march in solidarity with jailed journalists and other political prisoners on the island, retweeted and highlighted comments from US congress members such as Marco Rubio and Robert Menéndez, both of whom represent “hardline” anti-Castro exile communities in the US. | Ny Las Damas de Blanco (“Vehivavy mitafy Fotsy”), fikambanana iray ahitàna vehivavy miara-manao diabe ho firaisankina amin'ireo mpanao gazety nofonjaina sy ireo hafa gadra noho ny resaka politika tao amin'ny nosy, dia namerina nibitsika sy nanasongadina ireo fanehoankevitra avy amin'ireo mpikambana ao amin'ny kaongresy Amerikana, toa an'i Marco Rubio sy Robert Menéndez, izay samy misolo tena ny vondrom-piarahamonina “henjam-pihetsik” ireo mpitsoa-ponenana any Etazonia manohitra an'i Castro. |
11 | Group leader Berta Soler, one of the most prominent anti-government voices on the island, told Diario de Cuba: | Berta Soler, mpitarika ilay vondrona, no iray amin'ireo feo tena mpanohitra ny governemanta ao amin'ny nosy, hoy i Diario de Cuba: |
12 | The measures that President Obama has taken are for the government, not for Cuba. | Ho an'ny governemanta ireo fepetra noraisin'ny filoha Obama fa tsy ho an'i Kiobà. |
13 | He is mistaken if he thinks that reestablishing relations will benefit the people of the island. | Hadisoana ny azy raha toa izy mihevitra fa hitondra tombontsoa ho an'ny vahoaka eto amin'ny nosy ireny famerenany ny fifandraisana ireny. |
14 | Here there will only be change when human rights are respected and the Castros no longer exist. […] | Hisy ny fiovàna eto rehefa ny zon'olombelona no voahaja ary tsy misy intsony ry Castros. […] |
15 | At times like these we feel unprotected, but with or without support, the important thing is that we continue fighting for freedom for the people of Cuba. | Amin'ny fotoana tahaka itony dia mahatsiaro tsy voaaro isika, saingy na misy na tsia ny fanohanana, ny zava-dehibe dia ny fanohizantsika ny tolona ho amin'ny fahalalahan'ny vahoakan'i Kiobà. |
16 | Until this moment, we have been jailed and beaten. | Hatramin'ity anio ity, olona voafonja sy voadaroka isika. |
17 | Now we believe we will start seeing activists dead on the streets. | Ankehitriny dia mino isika fa hanomboka hahita mpikatroka mafàna fo hitsitra maty eny an'arabe. |
18 | Known to accept financial support from US government agencies, many members of the Damas de Blanco have suffered beatings, detentions and other forms of repression by Cuban state security since their inception in 2003. | Fantatra amin'ny fanekeny mandray tohana ara-bola avy amin'ireo masoivohon'ny governemanta Amerikana, maro amin'ireo mpikambana ao amin'ny Damas de Blanco no niharan'ny vono, famonjàna sy endrika hafa amin'ny famoretana ataon'ireo mpitandro filaminan'ny fanjakàna Kiobàna, hatramin'ny nanombohany tamin'ny 2003. |
19 | This week however, supporters noted that they were able to march freely, without a single arrest: | Tamin'ity herinandro ity anefa, voamarik'ireo mpanohana fa azon'izy ireo natao ny nanao diabe tamin-kalalahana, tsy nisy fisamborana na iray aza: |
20 | Today the @DamasdBlanco were able to walk from Cárdenas y Colón without being arrested, harassed or beaten as the tyranical forces have always done | Afaka nanao diabe avy ao Cárdenas y Colón tsy nisy fisamborana, filàna vaniny na daroka toy izay efa fanaon'ireo hery mpamoritra isaky ny mihetsika ny @DamasdBlanco. |
21 | Many thought back on the work of fallen civil society leader Oswaldo Payá, who led a late 1990s civil society effort calling for a referendum on the country's constitution that would have enshrined rights to full electoral participation, free expression, and other fundamental rights for all Cubans. | Maro no nahatsiaro ny asan'ilay mpitarika ny fiarahamonim-pirenena sivily efa nodimandry, Oswaldo Payá, nitarika ny ezaky ny fiarahamonim-pirenena sivily tany amin'ny faramparan'ny 1990 mba hitakiana ny hanaovana fitsapankevi-bahoaka momba ny lalàm-panorenan'ny firenena izay tokony hanome lanja ny zo handray anjara feno amin'ny resaka fifidianana, ny fahalalahana maneho hevitra, ary zo fototra hafa isan-karazany ho an'ny Kiobàna rehetra. |
22 | Payá was killed in a 2012 car crash that his family suspects was orchestrated by Cuban authorities, though this has never been confirmed. | Maty taminà lozam-pifamoivoizana iray tamin'ny 2012 i Payá, izay ahiahian'ny fianakaviany ho ireo Kiobàna manampahefana no nikotrika azy, na dia tsy mbola voaporofo mihitsy aza izany hatreto. |
23 | Since his death, Payá's daughter Rosa María has become a prominent voice on human rights in the country, albeit following a distinct path from that of her father. | Hatramin'ny nahafatesany, Rosa María zanaka vavin'i Payá no lasa feo manana ny toerany amin'ny fiarovana ny zon'olombelona ao amin'ny firenena, na dia manaraka zotra hafa tsy toy ny an'ny rainy aza izy. |
24 | In an open letter to Barack Obama published by the Washington Post, Rosa María Payá wrote: | Tao anaty taratasy iray misokatra nalefa ho an'i Barack Obama navoakan'ny Washington Post, nanoratra i Rosa María Payá hoe : |
25 | Mr. President, your laws are not what is preventing the free market and access to information in Cuba; it is the Cuban government's legislation and its constant censorship. | Atoa. Filoha, tsy ny lalànao no mibahana ny tsena malalaka sy ny fahafahana mahazo ny vaovao aty Kiobà ; fa ny lalàn'ny governemanta Kiobàna sy ny sivana tsy mitsahatra ataony. |
26 | What would be new would be a real commitment to the Cuban people, with concrete actions supporting citizens' demands. | Ny zavatra mety ho vaovao dia ny fifanekena ifanaovana amin'ny vahoaka Kiobàna, miaraka aminà asa mivaingana manohana ny fangatahan'ny olom-pirenena. |
27 | We don't need interventionist tactics but rather backing for solutions that we Cubans have created ourselves. | Tsy ilainay ny tetikady fitsabatsabahana fa fanohanana ireo vahaolana izay izahay Kiobàna irery ihany no nandrafitra azy. |
28 | But not all opposition voices are so negative. | Saingy tsy ny feo manohitra rehetra akory no manana fijery miiba. |
29 | Reinaldo Escobar, a journalist-turned-blogger and the husband of famed blogger Yoani Sánchez, expressed hope that these expectations would prove incorrect: | Reinaldo Escobar, mpanao gazety lasa nivadika ho bilaogera, sady vadin'ilay bilaogera malaza Yoani Sánchez, dia naneho fanantenana hoe mety ho diso ihany ireny vinavina ireny : |
30 | I am betting that things will go badly, but I hope I lose that bet. All signs and past experience suggest that this will be a new way for the regime to buy itself time, but this is an unprecedented move and things could always turn out differently. | Ilokàko fa ho ratsy ny fandehan-javatra, saingy enga anie mba ho diso izay filokàko izay. Ny fambàra rehetra sy ny zavatra niainana fahiny dia samy manosika hihevitra fa ho fomba iray vaovao ho an'ny fitondràna io mba hakàna fotoana, nefa hetsika iray tsy manam-paharoa io ary mety mba ho hafa mandrakariva ny fandehan-javatra. |
31 | Manuel Cuesta Morúa, leader of the Partido Arco Progresista - a progressive political group that opposes the Cuban communist party - identified three ways in which the reforms would improve conditions for Cubans: | Manuel Cuesta Morúa, mpitarika ny Partido Arco Progresista - vondrona politika mpandàla fiovàna sy manohitra ny antoko kaomionista Kiobàna - dia nanoritra fomba telo tokony ho azon'ireo fiovàna atao hanatsaràna ny toe-piainan'ny Kiobàna: |
32 | First, it will allow for more global solidarity in support of our strategies, in the form of resources, contacts, and relationships. | Voalohany, hahafahana manome toerana ny firaisankina erantany bebe kokoa io ho fanohanana ny tetikadinay amin'ny resaka loharanon-karena, olona ifampikasohana sy ny fifandraisana. |
33 | Second, it will now be possible to permanently destroy the narrative of the regime, which has always accused us, the dissidents, of working for foreign interests, above all the US. | Faharoa, ho azo atao ny mamotika tsy hisy intsony ny fitantaran'ny fitondràna, izay tsy nanao afa-tsy ny niampanga anay, ny mpanohitra, ho miasa ho an'ny tombontsoan'ireo firenena vahiny, ambonin'ireny rehetra ireny i Etazonia. |
34 | Third, but not least, our contact with Cubans in other parts of the country can be less fraught because now citizens, those who give legitimacy to any political proposal, will be more able to participate and interact with us. | Fahatelo, nefa tsy ny maivana indindra, tsy ho voapoizina be loatra ny fifampikasohanay amin'ireo Kiobàna any amin'ny faritra hafa eto amin'ny firenena satria ankehitriny ireo olom-pirenena, izay manome ny maha-izy azy ireo tolokevitra politika, dia ho afaka bebe kokoa handray anjara sy hifampitankosina aminay. |
35 | Yoani Sánchez, blogger and editor-in-chief of recently launched digital magazine 14ymedio, highlighted the way in which the feud between the US and Cuba has functioned as a motor for the Cuban government. | Yoani Sánchez, bilaogera ary tonian-dahatsoratr'ilay gazetiboky ety anaty aterineto 14ymedio, vao noforonina vao haingana, dia nanasongadina ny fomba niasàn'ny ady mangatsiaka teo amin'i Etazonia sy Kiobà ho toy ny milina nanetsika ny governemanta Kiobàna. |
36 | …in spite of the absence of political commitments on the Cuban side, what happened today was a political defeat [for the Cuban government]. | …na teo aza ny tsy fisian'ny fileferana ara-politika avy amin'ny lafy Kiobàna, ny zavatra niseho androany dia filavoana ara-politika [ho an'ny governemanta Kiobàna]. |
37 | Under the command of Fidel Castro, we never would have gotten even close to an agreement of this sort. | Raha teo ambany fifehezan'i Fidel Castro, tsy ho tonga aminà fifanarahana tahaka izao velively isika. |
38 | Because the Cuban system is supported by - as one of its principal pillars - the existence of a permanent opponent. | Satria ny rafitra Kiobàna dia tohanan'ny fisian'ny mpanohitra iray mitoetra maharitra - izay no iray isan'ny andry fototra ijoroany. |
39 | David cannot live without Goliath and the ideological apparatus has relied for too long on this enmity. | Tsy afaka miaina mifanalavitra i David sy Goliath ary efa ela loatra no teo ambonin'io fifandrafesana io ny milina ideôlôjika no niorina. |
40 | For Cubans and Cuban-Americans all along the political spectrum, it is difficult to imagine that “normalization” of relations will lead to the pressing of a proverbial reset button on all things ranging from economy to civil and political rights. | Ho an'ireo Kiobàna sy ireo Kiobàna-Amerikàna avy amin'ny fironana politika samiahafa, sarotra ny haka sary an-tsaina ny hoe hitondra ho amin'ny fanindriana ny bokotra hamerina hatramin'ny voalohany ny zavatra rehetra, miainga avy amin'ny toekarena ka hatrany amin'ny zo sivily sy pôlitika ny “fampanaraham-penitra” ny fifandraisana. |
41 | Shortly after the announcement, Estado de SATS leader Antonio Rodiles quipped: | Fotoana fohy taorian'ny fanambaràna, nanao eson-teny i Antonio Rodiles mpitarika ny Estado de SATS hoe : |
42 | Cuba is not a computer in which you can install new software and expect it to work differently. | Tsy solosaina iray akory i Kiobà ka hoe azonao ametrahana rindram-baiko iray vaovao dia antenaina hiova ny fiasàny. |
43 | Indeed, regardless of political priorities, most voices agree that neither Cuba nor the US will change its ways easily or quickly. | Fa izao, raha tsy resahana ny laharam-pahamehana pôlitika, ny ankamaroan'ireo feo dia miara-miaiky fa na i Kiobà, na i Etazonia dia samy tsy hisy hanova haingana sy mora foana ny fomba fanaony. |
44 | Time will tell whether the so-called “thaw” will reflect a renewed commitment to human rights by both Cuba and the US. | Ny fotoana no hilaza amintsika na hivadika ho fanomezan-toky vaovao momba ny zon'olombelona na tsia, eo amin'ny Kiobà sy Etazonia, ilay lazaina fa “fitsonihana” |
