1 | 3 Keys to Understanding Burkina Faso's Anti-President Compaoré Protests | Fototra 3 Enti-manakatra Ireo Hetsi-panoherana An'i Compaoré Ao Burkina Faso |
2 | Widespread protests erupted in Burkina Faso on January 18 against constitutional reforms proposed by President Blaise Campaoré. | Nisy hetsi-panoherana goavana nitranga ny Sabotsy 18 Janoary 2014 teo hanoherana ny fanavaozana Lalàm-panorenana naroson'ny Filoha Blaise Compaoré. |
3 | But what do the protests mean, and why have the reforms inspired such a passionate reaction from the people of Burkina Faso? | Inona no dikan'ireny hetsi-panoherana ireny ary nahoana no niteraka fahalinana teny anivon'ny olom-pirenena bokninabe ireny fanavaozana ireny ? Inona no hateraky ny krizy lavareny iray ho an'ny faritra? |
4 | What would the implications of a prolonged crisis be for the region? | Ndeha hoezahantsika hitondrana fanazavàna ireo fanontaniana ireo amin'ny alàlan'ny fitetezana ireo fanehoan-kevitry ny olom-pirenena borkinabe ety anaty aterineto : |
5 | What sparked the protests? | Inona no anton'ireo hetsi-panoherana |
6 | The demonstrations were organised by the opposition to protest a change to the constitution that would allow Campaoré, who has been in power since 1987, to run for a third five-year term come the 2015 elections. | |
7 | This revision to article 37 of the constitution, which currently stipulates that presidential mandates must be limited to two five-year terms, is strongly opposed within some political circles as well as by voters. | 18 jan. 2014, Burkina : raha mbola misy hetsi-panoherana iray tahaka izao dia hisintaka i Blaise Comparoé (27 teo amin'ny fitondràna). |

Big Up! pic.twitter.com/l1aghkxYGw | Ny mpanohitra no nikarakara ireo fihetsiketsehana mba hanoherana ny fanovàna lalàm-panorenana izay mety hahafahan'ny filoha Blaise Compaoré hirotsaka hofidiana haka dimy taona hitondràna fanintelony indray amin'ny 2015. |
10 | - Alain Doh Bi (@AlainDohBi) January 19, 2014 The two-term limit was approved in 2005 and cannot be applied retroactively, so Compaoré was allowed to run for office despite his nearly two decades of rule at the time. | Io fanavaozana ny Toko faha-37 ao amin'ny Lalàm-panorenana io, izay milaza fa voafetra ho roa ihany ny fe-potoam-pitondran'ny filoha, dia toherin'ny ampahany maro amin'ny kilasy pôlitika sy ny mpifidy. |
11 | The beginnings of opposition to the proposed change began to emerge the week before the changes when 75 members of the ruling party quit in protest of the absence of consensus within the party. | Ny vanja nandrehitra ny afo ho an'ny hetsi-panoherana dia niainga tamin'ny herinandro talohan'io rehefa nametra-pialàna ny mpikambana 75 tamin'ireo olon'ny antoko eo amin'ny fitondràna ho fanoherany ny tsy fisian'ny fahamaroan-kevitra eo anivon'ny antoko. |
12 | An already controversial government | Governemanta efa notoherina hatrany amboalohany |
13 | This isn't the first time President Compaoré's authority has been called into question during his current term of office. | Tsy vao voalohany akory no efa tra-pahasahiranana ny fahefan'ny filoha Compaoré nandritra ity fe-potoam-pitondràna dimy taona ity. |
14 | In February 2011, protests flared up in the capital Ouagadougou and across the rest of the region, following deadly beating of a student by police in Kougougou. | Tamin'ny febroary 2011, efa nipoaka ny hetsi-panoherana tao Ouagadougou sy tany amin'ny ambiny sisa tao amin'ny firenena, taorian'ny nahafatesan'ny mpianatra iray noho ny daroky ny polisy tao Koudougou. |

16 | To quell the dissent, Compaoré brought together the governors of all 13 regions and proposed measures to increase the purchasing power of students via increases in scholarships and stipends. | Mba hampitoniana ireo hetsi-panoherana, nanaisotra ireo governorany rehetra tany aminà faritra niisa telo ambinifolo i Blaise Compaoré ary nandroso fepetra ho fampiakarana ny fahefa-mividin'ireo mpianatra. |
17 | Police violence and the murder of the president's opponents seemed to increase between 1990 and 2000. | Ireo herisetra ataon'ny polisy sy ny famonoana ireo mpanohitra ny filoha Blaise Compaoré dia tahaka ny niverimberina teo anelanelan'ny 1990 sy 2000. |
18 | The common thread linking the riots was objection to rampant corruption and the presidential family's ever increasing wealth. | Ny rohy iraisan'ireo korontana ireo dia ny fanoherana ny fangoronan-karena ataon'ny fianakavian'ny filoha sy ny kolikoly mandady toy ny trambo. |
19 | What the crisis means for the region | Ny fiantraikan'ny krizy lavareny ho an'ilay faritra |
20 | The effects of these demonstrations will be felt beyond the borders of Burkina Faso. | Ny fiantraikan'ireny hetsi-panoherana ireny tsy hoe mijanona fotsiny hatreo amin'ny sisintanin'i Burkina Faso. |
21 | Compaoré invited Guillaume Soro, president of the neighboring Côte d'Ivoire's Senate, to mediate the crisis. | Noraisin'ny filoha Compaoré ny filohan'ny antenimieran-doholona Ivoariana, Guillaume Soro, ho toy ny mpanelanelana amin'ilay krizy. |
22 | Following the November 2010 presidential election, that country experienced a drawn-out governance crisis after the two opposing leaders, Laurent Gbagbo and Alassane Ouattara, both claimed victory. | |
23 | Protests and all-out violence marked the period from the initial standoff, as neither Gbagbo nor Ouattara showed signs of backing down. | Théophile Kouamouo, ivoariana bilaogera, dia manao ity fandalinana manaraka ity momba io fihaonana io : |
24 | After months of conflict, Ouattara's troops eventually overran the country and stormed the presidential palace and captured Gbagbo with the help of French troops in April 2011. | |
25 | Ivorian blogger Théophile Kouamouo drew the following conclusions from the meeting between Burkina Faso's president and the president of the Ivory Coast's Senate: | |
26 | Since the announcement ten days ago of the collective resignation of several senior members of the Congress for Democracy and Progress (CDP), Blaise Compaoré's party, key politicians from the Ouattara regime in Cote d'Ivoire seem panicked at the very idea of seeing Compaoré, the one who has ruled over Ouagadougou [capital city of Burkina Faso] for nearly 27 years leave power for good. This possibility seem to have made them realize the fragile nature of their own political futures. | Hatramin'ny nanambaràna ny fametraham-pialàna faobe nataon'ireo mpikambana maro manana ny lazany avy ao amin'ny “Congrès pour la démocratie et le progrès (CDP)” , antokon'ny filoha borkinabe Blaise Compaoré, efa ho folo andro lasa izay, ireo endrika tena fantatra ao amin'ny fitondran'i Ouattara dia sahala amin'ny mahatonga antsika hieritreritra hoe ny hany hevitra hahita an'ilay ranamana efa nanjaka tao Ouagadougou nandritry ny 27 taona handeha hisotro ronono dia mety hahatonga azy ireo tsy hahafehy tena sy hanosika azy ireo hisalasala ny amin'ny hoaviny ara-politika [..] |
27 | […] And so what if it was ultimately Guillaume Soro who had the most to gain by keeping Blaise Compaoré in power, who he freely hails as his “mentor”? | Ary raha toa tokoa moa ka i Guillaume Soro izay mahita tombony kokoa amin'ny fihazonana an'i Blaise Compaoré eo amin'ny fahefana, no arosony ho toy ny « mpanolotsainy» ? |
28 | It is likely that the not always manifest balance of relations between Ouattara and his “constitutional successor” will require the interpersonal skills of the master of Ouagadougou so as not to slip into open adversity. | Mety ho azo eritreretina ny hoe mila ny fikolokoloan'ny olo-matanjak'i Ouaga, mba tsy ho rendrika ao anatin'ny fifanoherana, ny fifandanjan'ny fifandraisana efa tsy dia mazava hatrizay eo amin'i Ouattara sy ny « mpandimby azy araka ny lalam-panorenana ». |
29 | Laye Doulougou, a Burkinabe living in Ivory Coast, had a different view on the mediation: | Laye Doulougou, Borkinabe monina any Côte d'Ivoire dia manana fomba fijery hafa an'ity fanelanelanana ity : |
30 | Beware of “meddling” in the affaires of Faso while good souls, on the impetus of sub-regional solidarity, try tp help preserve its stability and its cohesion. | Mitandrema ianareo tsy “hitsabatsabaka” amin'ny raharahan'i Fasso rehefa mba misy olona tsara fanahy, entanin'ny firaisankina avy any amin'ny faritra, manampy azy hitahiry ny fiandrianam-pireneny sy ny maha iray azy. |
31 | For the rest of us Burkinabes, the long crisis suffered by Ivory Coast is a not too distant memory, and we do not want to see our country go through the same thing. | Izahay Borkinabe sasany dia mbola mahatadidy tsara ireo tantara tsy dia ela akory momba ny krizy niainan'i Côte d'Ivoire ary tsy maniry ny hahita ny firenenay hiaina vanim-potoana tahaka izany. |
32 | We believe in a stable Africa, a peaceful, pan-African Africa developed as a result of this type of mediation | Mino ny hisian'ny Afrika iray milamina izahay, Afrika itambaran'ireo afrikana rehetra mandry fahalemana ary mivoatra noho ny fanelanelanana toy io misy io |
