1 | “A Woman Can Only Become President When Men Die Out in Tajikistan” | “Rehefa Tapitra Maty Ny Lehilahy Ao Tajikistan Vao Afaka Ny Ho FilohamPirenena Ny Vehivavy” |
2 | In Tajikistan where even a mention of elections often makes people yawn, the upcoming presidential contest promises to be anything but boring. | Mampitanatàna vava ny olona ao Tajikistan na dia ny fitenenana fotsiny ny hoe fifidianana aza, saingy mahabe fanantenana ny hiovàn'izany tsy ho zava-mahasorena amin'io fifidianana ho filoham-pirenena ho avy eo io. |
3 | For the first time in the country's history, a woman is running for its highest political office. | Sambany eo amin'ny tantaran'ny firenena no misy vehivavy iray mifaninana ho amin'io toerana politika avo dia avo io. |
4 | Oynihol Bobonazarova, a prominent lawyer and human rights activist, entered the presidential race on September 9, 2013, after a coalition of Tajik opposition parties and NGOs nominated her as their candidate. | Tamin'ny 9 Septambra 2013, Oynihol Bobonazarova, mpisolovava manana ny maha-izy azy sady mpikatroka mafàna fo amin'ny fiarovana ny zon'olombelona, no nirotsaka hihazakazaka ho filoham-pirenena taorian'ny nanendren'ireo antoko mpanohitra Tajik sy ireo ONG azy ho kandidàn'izy ireo. |

8 | Bobonazarova's presidential bid - and the fact that she is backed by the Islamic Revival Party of Tajikistan - has galvanized public opinion in society where patriarchal attitudes run deep. | Ny safidin'i Bobonazarova ho filoha - ary indrindra ny maha-tohanan'ny Antoko Fanavaozana Islamika ao Tajikistan azy - dia nanetsika betsaka ny fanehoankevitry ny olona teny anivon'ny fiarahamonina teny, izay ny fahefan-dehilahy no tena namàka lalina tao anatin'ny fomba fisaina. |
9 | While few people believe that she has a chance to win the elections, many bloggers and social media users are enthusiastic about the very fact of her participation in the contest. | Raha misy olona vitsivtsy mino fa mety hanam-bintana handresy amin'ny fifidianana izy, betsaka ireo bilaogera sy mpampiasa media sosialy no miarahaba/faly na dia noho ny fandraisany anjara amin'ilay fifaninanana monja aza. |
10 | Tomiris writes [ru] on her blog: | Ao amin'ny bilaoginy, manoratra [ru] i Tomiris hoe : |
11 | I think that the fact that the opposition nominated Oynihol Bobonazarova as their single candidate for the presidential elections is the best thing that could happen during these elections. | Heveriko fa ny fanendren'ny antoko mpanohitra an'i Oynihol Bobonazarova ho kandidà tokana avy amin-dry zareo amin'ny fifaninanana ho filoham-pirenena no zavatra tsara indrindra afaka hita mandritra ireo fifidianana ireo. |
12 | I am not naive to think that [Bobonazarova] has a slightest chance of winning these elections or getting at least a quarter of the electorate's votes. | Tsy vendrana aho akory ka hihevitra hoe manana vintana faran'izay bitika izy [Bobonazarova] ho lany amin'ireo fifidianana ireo na hahazo farafahakeliny ny ampahefatry ny vaton'ny mpifidy. |
13 | Few people will vote for her. | Vitsy ny olona no hifidy azy. |
14 | But her nomination is still the best thing that could happen. | Saingy efa zavatra tsara aloha ny nanendrena azy. |
15 | Tomiris then explains [ru] why she is so enthusiastic about a female candidate entering the presidential race: | Avy eo Tomiris manazava [ru] ny antony mampientanentana azy mikasika ny fisianà vehivavy mirotsaka hofidiana ho filoham-pirenena : |
16 | Even by losing, Bobonazarova will set an example, showing that a woman can compete for the highest political offices in the country. | Na dia ho resy aza, ho ohatra iray ho antsika i Bobonazarova, nampiseho fa afaka ny hifaninana hitàna toerana politika ambony eto amin'ny firenena ny vehivavy. |
17 | This will have a huge, positive and long-lasting impact on all girls and women in Tajikistan. | Hisy fiantraikany goavana, miabo sy maharitra ho an'ireo ankizivavy sy vehivavy rehetra aty Tajikistan io. |
18 | We will have an example to emulate. | Hanana ohatra halain-tàhaka isika. |
19 | At the same time, men will possibly realize that girls should be taken more seriously, and that a woman's place is not only in the kitchen, but also in the presidential seat. | Mandritra io fotoana io ihany, ho takatr'ireo lehilahy fa tokony hojerena amin'ny fomba matotra ireo ankizivavy, sy hoe tsy any anaty trano fahandroan-tsakafo ihany akory no toeran'ny vehivavy, fa koa eny ambony seza maha-filoham-pirenena. |
20 | ‘Only when all men die out' | ‘Rehefa fongana ny lehilahy rehetra' |
21 | Although many social media users in the country have voiced their support for Bobonazarova, even a cursory glance at comments left on news forums shows that many more people in Tajikistan are not ready to vote for a female candidate. | Na dia marobe aza ireo mpampiasa media sosialy ao amin'ilay firenena no nanambara ny fanohanan-dry zareo an'i Bobonazarova, na dia topimaso kely amin'ireo fanehoankevitra navela ao amin'ny sehatra fifanakalozan-dresaka momba ny vaovao ihany aza dia efa mampiseho fa maro kokoa ireo olona ao Tajikistan no tsy vonona hanome ny vatony ho anà vehivavy. |
22 | Under a news report about Bobonazarova's presidential nomination on ozodi.org, Sham writes [tj, ru]: | Eo ambanin'ny fitateram-baovao iray ao amin'ny ozodi.org mikasika ny fanendrena an'i Bobonazarova ho kandidà ho filoha, manoratra [tj, ru] i Sham : |
23 | A woman to lead the country? | Vehivavy hitondra firenena hoe? |
24 | Couldn't they [opposition leaders] find at least one man among them and not nominate a woman? | Fa angaha dia tsy afaka nahita mihitsy ry zareo [mpitarika ny fanoherana] na dia lehilahy iray tao amin-dry zareo tao mba tsy hanendrena vehivaviìy? |
25 | This is too much to take now!!! | Efa tafahoatra kosa ity e!!! |
26 | In a similar vein, Mahmadullo states [tj]: | Anaty fihetsika toy izay koa, Mahmadullo milaza fa [tj]: |
27 | Our people are not ready to have a woman as the head of state. | Tsy mbola vonona ny hanana vehivavy ho filoham-pirenena izany ny vahoakantsika. |
28 | Maybe she [Bobonazarova] is ready for this, but our way of thinking and our mentality is different. | Angamba izy [Bobonazarova] no vonona ho amin'izany, fa ny fomba fisainantsika sy ny toe-tsaintsika dia hafa. |
29 | We need a man as our leader at the moment. | Amin'izao fotoana izao aloha dia mila lehilahy isika ho mpitarika antsika. |
30 | It is good that they nominate a woman [for president], but it is early to do so now. | Tsara ny nanendren-dry zareo vehivavy [ho filoha], saingy aloha loatra raha izao no manao izany. |
31 | On news.tj, Tokhir Muzhik [‘the man'] asks [ru] ironically: | Ao amin'ny news.tj, Tokhir Muzhik [‘ilay bandy'] manontany [ru] amin'eso hoe : |
32 | A woman president??? | Vehivavy ho filoha??? |
33 | Is it April 1 [April Fools' Day] already??? | Sao sangy ratsin'ny 1 Aprily sahady [Andron'ny Lainga rehefa A] ??? |
34 | And under Tomiris's blog post, Gafur states [ru]: | Ary ao ambanin'ny lahatsoratra am-bilaogin'i Tomiris, Gafur milaza hoe [ru]: |
35 | I personally think that a woman can become a president only when all men die out in Tajikistan. | Izaho manokana dia mihevitra fa afaka ny ho lasa filoham-pirenena ny vehivavy iray rehefa tapitra fongana ny lehilahy rehetra eto Tajikistan. |
36 | And even then, it is hardly possible. | Ary na izany aza, sarotra ny hahatanterahany. |
37 | ‘The Tajik Margaret Thatcher' | ‘Margaret Thatcher ho an'ny Tajik‘ |
38 | Yet some internet users in Tajikistan believe that Bobonazarova could win the elections and make a good leader. | Ny sasany amin'ireo mpampiasa aterineto ao Tajikistan anefa dia mino fa afaka ny handresy amin'ny fifidianana i Bobonazarova ary ho mpitarika tsara. |
39 | Responding to a comment suggesting that a man rather than woman should lead the country, Ramziya writes [tj] on ozodi.org: | Tamin'ny famaliana fanehoankevitra iray izay nanoso-kevitra hoe lehilahy no tokony hitantana ny firenena fa tsy vehivavy, manoratra [tj] ao amin'ny ozodi.org i Ramziya : |
40 | We can see what men have done to our country and our people during the period of their leadership. | Afaka mahita ny efa nataon'ny lehilahy ho an'ny firenentsika sy ny vahoakantsika isika nandritra ny fotoana nitarihan-dry zareo. |
41 | Benom [‘Anonymous'] adds [tj]: | Benom [‘Anonymous'] manampy hoe [tj]: |
42 | Only a woman can lead us out of this dark period. | Ny vehivavy irery ihany no afaka hitondra antsika hivoaka amin'izao vanim-potoana maizina izao. |
43 | While Rustam announces [tj]: | Raha i Rustam kosa manambara fa [tj]: |
44 | [Bobonazarova] is the best candidate. | [Bobonazarova] no mpirotraka tsara indrindra. |
45 | I extend my congratulations to her and will vote for her. | Alefako ho azy ny fiarahabako sy ny faniriako hifidy azy. |
46 | She will become the Tajik Margaret Thatcher and Angela Merkel. | Izy no ho Margaret Thatcher sy Angela Merkel-n'ny Tajik . |
47 | Unlikely to win | Sahala amin'ny tsy handresy |
48 | Patriarchal attitudes are not the only reason why Bobonazarova is unlikely to become a president. | Tsy ny toetsaina manompo lehilahy ihany no hany antony manakana an'i Bobonazarova tsy ho lasa filoha. |
49 | In his blog, Mustafo suggests [ru] there are also significant political and international factors which make Bobonazarova's success during the elections highly unrealistic: | Ao amin'ny bilaoginy, Mustafo mandroso ny [ru] hoe misy koa ireo singa manana ny lanjany ara-politika sy iraisam-pirenena izay mahatonga ny fahombiazan'i Bobonazarova mandritra ireo fifidianana ireo ho toy ny nofinofy tsy azo tanterahana: |
50 | Bobonazarova will not win the elections in November. | Tsy handresy amin'ny fifidianana hatao amin'ny Novambra i Bobonazarova. |
51 | There are a number of reasons for this. | Betsaka ny anton'izany. |
52 | First of all, there is this question that I have recently found myself asking: who on earth is she anyway? | Voalohany indrindra, misy fanontaniana iray napetrako tamin'ny tenako ihany tato ho ato : fa mba iza eto amin'ity tontolo ity aloha izy e? |
53 | Most voters do not know her and therefore do not have a slightest idea about what she is like. | Tsy mahalala azy ny ankamaroan'ny mpifidy ary tsy manana hevitra kely akory hoe tahaka an'iza izy izay. |
54 | Second, she is a woman, and not many people in our country will vote for a woman. | Faharoa, vehivavy izy, ary tsy maro ny olona hifidy vehivavy ato anatin'ny firenentsika. |
55 | This is the kind of society we are, a patriarchal one. | Io no karazam-piarahamonina misy antsika, mpandàla ny fitondràn-dehilahy. |
56 | Third, she is not a young person. | Fahatelo, tsy tanora izy. |
57 | Someone younger should lead our republic - someone who will have enough energy to break and rebuild everything. | Olona tanora no tokony hitondra ny repoblikantsika - olona iray hanana ny hery sy tanjaka ampy handrava sy hamerina hanorina ny zavatra rehetra. |
58 | Bobonazarova does not seem to have too much energy. | Tahaka ny tsy manana hery sy tanjaka betsaka i Bobonazarova. |
59 | There is also the fourth reason. | Ary misy koa ny antony faha-efatra. |
60 | For a very long time, Bobonazarova served as the head of the Soros Foundation, an American non-governmental organization, and she now leads another non-governmental organization involved in human rights issues. | Nandritra ny fotoana elabe, nitàna ny toeran'ny filohan'ny Soros Foundation i Bobonazarova, fikambanana iray tsy miankina amin'ny fanjakana Amerikana, ary amin'izao fotoana izao izy dia filohan'ny fikambanana iray misahana ny olana momba ny zon'olombelona. |
61 | I do not think that Russia would allow such a pro-American candidate coming to power in Tajikistan. | Tsy heveriko hamela olona mpirotsaka hofidiana mpomba Amerikana tahaka izany ho tonga eo amin'ny fahefana ao Tajikistan i Rosia. |
62 | Besides, our officials and security services will not want to have as head of state a person concerned about human rights. | Etsy andaniny, ireo manampahefantsika sy ireo mitandro filaminana tsy te-hahita olona miresaka zon'olombelona izany ho lasa mpitondra firenena. |
