1Blogger Flees Uganda After ThreatsOganda : Bilaogera nikopak’elatra noho ny tahotra
2Efa nosoratana teto amin'ny Global Voices ny hevitra feno fihantsiana nataon'ny bilaogera sy mpanolotra fandaharana amin'ny onjam-peo Ogandey Dennis Matanda momba ny kolontsaina afrikana, ny (filoha) Idi Amin ary ny momba ny fiverenana hisian'ny fanjanahantany indray izay efa nosoratana teto amin'ny Global Voices.
3Ugandan blogger and radio personality Dennis Matanda's provocative opinions on African culture, Idi Amin and recolonization have been covered on Global Voices before.Dia mbola niteraka resabe ihany ny fanaony tamin'ny volana lasa raha nitoraka bilaogy hoe « ahoana ny fomba atao hahafaty ? ».
4Dennis caused another stir last month when he posted on his blog under the title “How to Be Dead.”Niteraka savorovoro, fandrahonana ary fandrobana ny fandaharana naka hevitra tamin'io lahatsoratra io ka nahatery an'Atoa Dennis Matanda hitsoaka an'i Onganda.
5The post chronicled the radio show, ensuing threats and frightening act of vandalism leading up to his flight from Uganda, a decision met with a mixture of support, bemusement and skepticism by his fellow blogren.Nampisara-tsaina ny tontolon'ny bilaogy Ogandey io fanapaha-kevitra io, nisy ireo nanohana, nisy ny nananihany ary nisy ireo nihifikifi-doha.
6Writing about her latest dating escapades, Tumwujike tells readers, “If you want to read a post about ‘real' drama, Dennis Matanda's blog is the place to go.”Raha nanoratra ny tontolom-piainany i Tumwujike dia nitantara tamin'ny mpamaky azy hoe, « raha te-hamaky tantara mampalahelo tena nitranga ianao dia hahaliana anao ny bilaogin'i Dennis Matanda ».
7Tandra addresses Dennis in her post about September's Uganda Bloggers Happy Hour, saying, “pity we cldnt hang before some ignorant peeps just run mad and u had to play dead.”Nanoratra ho an'i Dennis ihany koa i Tandra nandritra ny Ora mahafinaritry ny bilaogera Ogandey tamin'ny volana septambra hoe « Indrisy moa fa tsy afa-nihaona isika noho ireo tsy ampy fahalalana lasa adala ka nanatery anao hiafinafina.
8But Degstar had the strongest reaction:» saingy niakatrakatra noho ny rehetra kosa izay nosoratan'i Degstar :
9We had this discussion eons ago - in your old car, the one that had a toy Beretta in the glove compartment? - where I pointed out that for your being less than reserved about your feelings on things of national import, you could, should, expect to pay a price.Efa niady hevitra mihitsy isika fotoana ela izay - tao anatin'ny fiaranao kadraoka nisy kilalao Beratta iny tao anatin'ny fitoerana fonontanana (vatasarihana eo anoloan'izay mipetraka eo anilan'ny saofera) iny ? Tamin'izay aho no efa nampitandrina fa hanody anao io tsy fiheverana loatra ny vokatr'izay eritreritra sy fihetseham-po ataonao manohina ny maro nefa zava-dehibe loatra eo amin'ny sehatry ny firenena.
10And you, in that - some would say arrogant - devil-may-care way of yours said, “f- that.Dia novalianao tamim-pianjonanjonana, hoy ny sasany, moa hoe tsy raharahako izany.
11I mean really!!” me, I just said “kale.”Gina tsy nahateny afa-tsy « Kay le » aho tamin'izay.
12Indeed you went on to say exactly what you wanted when and where you wanted.Dia notohizanao ihany izay tianao atao sady tsy nifidy toerana no tsy nifidy fotoana.
13Then as it turns out - if I'm getting this right - your views on other people's sexual preferences were what finally broke the camel's back and resulted in the late night visit to your house.Ary raha ny fahazoako azy dia ny hevitrao momba ny safidim-pitiavan'ny olona hafa no singam-bolo nandavo ny vositra ka namangian'ny sasany andro alina ny tranonao.
14Chief, what did you expect?Fa inona moa no nandrasanao sefo ô ?
15A formal protest note delivered to your lawyer?Taratasim-panoherana nalefa tany amin'ny mpisolovava anao ?
16A picket of your Nakasero hill office?Fitokonana teo anoloan'ny biraonao ao antendrombohitry Nakasero ?
17A boycott of your radio talk show?Tsy fihainoana intsony ny fandaharanao ao amin'ny onjam-peo ?
18Public burning of your newspaper articles?Fandoroana ny lahatsoratrao an-gazety ?
19Or perhaps an invite to the Media Centre to share your divergent views in a bid to “reach a consensus and chart a common way forward?” dude please, I think not.Sa fanasana anao hamelabelaranao ny hevitrao mba hahatongavana amin'ny marimaritra iraisana ka hametrahana ny lalan-kizorana manaraka ? Tsy mino izany aho rahalahy.
20Now living in the United States, Dennis is working on his first fiction piece: a novel titled Master of the Sagging Cheeks, which he hopes will bring a change in the way the world views African leaders.Efa mipetraka any Etazonia moa i Dennis ankehitriny ary eo ampiketrehana ny tantara foronina iray mitondra ny lohateny hoe : Master of the Sagging Cheeks (Ilay Kalaza amin'ny takolaka miroraka), izay heveriny hitondra fiovam-pijerin'izao tontolo izao miatrika ny mpitondra afrikana.
21He agreed to share his story with Global Voices:Nanaiky hitondra ny tantarany eto amin'ny Global Voices izy :
22Q: Can you describe the events leading up to your decision to leave Uganda?F : Azonao hazavaina ve ny toe-draharaha nanosika anao hiala an'i Oganda ?
23A: There are basically three things that led me to leave Uganda.V : Zavatra telo no nanosika ahy hiala an'i Oganda.
24The first is that I was getting nasty phone calls from unidentified people threatening me about a radio talkshow I did each week.Voalohany dia mahazo antso avy amin'olo-tsy fantatra matetika aho momba ny fandaharana ataoko amin'ny onjam-peo isan-kerinandro.
25The calls became nastier when we discussed homosexuality on the 24th of August.Nihaloza ny antso taorian'ny fandaharana momba ny homosexualité [tsy fantatro na mety eto ny teny hoe toetra mahapelaka eto na tsia] tamin'ny 24 aogositra teo.
26I basically did not agree with the pastors and colleagues about homosexuality.Tsy nitovy tamin'ny pasitera sy ny mpiaramiasa ny hevitro amin'io lohahevitra io.
27I said homosexuality was not welcomed with open arms in the West and so we did not have a right to assume that it was imported into Uganda.Niteny aho tamin'izay fa tsy tafiditra mora foana tany amin'ny tany Tandrefana ny homosexualité ary noho izany dia tsy mananjo isika hiteny fa naondrana tany Oganda ny homosexualité.
28Because I had just returned to Uganda from a holiday in the UK and the US, I got a phone call that night telling me to go back where I came from if I wanted to see the light of day.Vao niverina avy naka rivotra tany Etazonia sy Angletera moa aho tamin'izay ka nandray antso aho ny alin'iny nanao hoe raha mbola te-hahita masoandro ianao dia miverena any amin'izay nihavianao.
29The second is that I was not too sure who these people were and could not pinpoint if they were government agents or not.Faharoa, tsy fantatro loatra hoe iza ireo olona miantsoantso lava ireo sady tsy fantatro rahateo na irahin'ny fanjakana izy ireo na tsia.
30I brought up the topic of harassment with my colleagues - not necessarily divulging the fact that these calls were coming in - but seeking information on who would be behind these things.Niresaka ny tranga momba ny fanorisorenana aho tamin'ny mpiara-miasa mba ahafahako mahalala vaovao misimisy kokoa izay mety ho ao ambadiky ny fampitahorana ahy ity saingy tsy voatery hilaza amin-dry zareo ny fisian'ireo antso maromaro ireo.
31The basic information I got was that because there are so many security operatives and many arms competing for the President's ear and so many power centers, it was almost impossible to know who was behind the calls.Ny azoko notovozina moa dia hoe maro loatra ireo olona mifaninana mba hahazo sitraka amin'ny filoham-pirenena sy hahazo sombim-pahefana ka tsy fantatra intsony hoe iza amin'ireo no maniraka ny mpiantso amin'ny finday.
32And lastly, I did not know if I could trust the police with my life considering that they are obviously against anyone who says anything against the government - which I did all the time.Hany ka tsy fantatro raha afa-mitady fiarovana any amin'ny polisy, izay efa nataoko mandrakariva, aho nefa efa fantatra fa tsy miraharaha izay miteny olona manohitra ny governemanta ry zareo.
33Q: You have a reputation as provocateur - your articles on African leaders and colonialism in particular have garnered much heated discussion.F : Malaza ho mpanao fihantsiana ianao - Niteraka adi-hevitra mafana ny lahatsoratrao mikasika ny fanjanahantany sy ny mpitondra Afrikana.
34What would you cite as the single most controversial point of view you've publicly taken?Inona ny eritreretinao ho teny nataonao ampahibemaso niteraka fanoherana indrindra ?
35A: I think that the Call for Recolonization has been the most unpopular.V : Mino aho fa ny antso hiverenan'ny fanjanahantany no tsy nankasitrahana indrindra.
36I remember getting a call from an influential person in the government asking me to put them down considering that they touched on some really sensitive issues on leadership and President Museveni.Mahatadidy koa aho fa efa nisy taratasy azoko avy amin'ny Olobe iray ato amin'ny governemanta niangavy ahy hanajanona ny lahatsoratro sasany satria misahana lohahevitra saropady mikasika ny fomba fitarihana sy ny filoha Museveni.
37He said that although I was right and making a lot of sense, in his opinion, “the people who run the country were past sense and were now into destruction of anything that stood in their way.”Nanoratra izy fa na marina sy manandanja aza izay lazaiko dia tsy raharahan'izay mitondra ny firenena izany fa potehiny avokoa izay manakatsakana ny lalany.
38Interestingly, after I run away from town, I called him and in our discussion, he said something to the extent that those articles could have been the main reason I was targeted, as they were discussed across the African continent and beyond.Rehefa nandositra ny tanandehibe aho dia niantso azy ary novaliany fa noho ireny lahatsoratro ireny no nikendrena ahy, indrindra moa fa niely nanerana an'i Afrika sy tany ivelany aza ny adi-hevitra.
39Q: Do you believe the attack on your compound is related more to your blog or to views expressed on your radio show?F : Mino ve ianao fa misy ifandraisany amin'ny fanoratanao bilaogy na amin'ny hevitra mivoaka amin'ny onjam-peo ny fanafihana ny fonenanao ?
40A: To be honest, I cannot put a finger to it.V : Tena tsy haiko izay holazaina.
41I still do not know who was after me - and this was the scariest part.Tsy fantatro manko hoe iza nymanjohy ahy - ary izay no tena mampatahotra.
42Q: How would you respond to the accusations Degstar made claiming that you “ran”?F : Ahoana no hamalianao ny fiampangan'i Degstar fa « nandositra » ianao ?
43A: Degstar's accusations are spot on.V : Ka mazava ilay fiampangan'i Degstar koa.
44I ran away from things I should have “stood like a man” and fought against.Nandositra toe-javatra tokony hifanandrinako aho ka nijoro ho lehilahy.
45I guess he is personally disappointed that I ran away yet he watched me do battle with some important people while I was managing the [Ugandan public relations firm] TERP Group, which is owned by the President's son in law.Mino aho fa diso fanantenana tanteraka izy rehefa nandositra aho nefa efa nahita ahy nifanazava tamina Olobe izy tamin'izaho nitantana ny vondronaTERP [Orinasa Ogandey misahana ny fifandraisana], izay an'ny vinanton'ny filoham-pirenena.
46The thing he forgets is that I would rather do battle with an enemy I can see - and at least know.Ny tsy fantany dia tiako ho hita na farafaharatsiny fantatra izay fahavalo atrehina.
47I ran because I did not know who was after me.Nandositra aho satria tsy fantatro mihitsy izay miandry kendritohina ahy.
48Maybe I ran away too fast, but it's better to be safe than sorry.Mety ho lasa aloha loatra aho saingy aleoko manavo-tena toy izay manenina rehefa avy eo.
49Q: What's your opinion of the current state of the Ugandan traditional media?F : Ahoana ny hevitrao mikasika ny haino aman-jeryOgandey fahita mahazatra ?
50Do you believe Uganda has a free press?Mino ve ianao fa afaka ny fampahalalam-baovao ao Oganda ?
51A: For the moment, the traditional media are basically safe… at least until the end of the Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting in November.V : Amin'izao fotoana izao aloha dia mbola tsy voakitikitika ny fampahalalam-baovao…hatramin'ny fivorian'ny lehiben'ny governemanta mpikambana amin'ny Commonwealth amin'ny Novambra farafahakeliny.
52But the cracks have already started to appear with upcountry radio stations in places like the Toro region in Western Uganda being harassed for all kinds of things.Fa misy lesoka manomboka mipoitra ihany : Ny fandefasan'onjam-peo any amin'ny faritra Toro any andrefan'i Oganda izao dia misy manorisory amin-javatra be dia be.
53The other element in the temporary safety of the traditional media is in the fact that there is not a single institution capable of managing the rapidly expanding and basically free media.Ny singa faharoa mahatonga ny fampahalalam-baovao manana filaminana dia tsy misy sampan-draharaha iray afaka mifehy ny fipariahana haingana dia haingan'ny haino aman-jery azo maimai-poana.
54The Media Center which was supposed to do this does not have the credibility and the Uganda Broadcasting Council has been known to take lackadaisical decisions (including taking Gaetano off the Capital Radio over homosexuality comments he did not make; and of course, working with the Media Center to get Blake Lambert deported).Ny Ivotoeran'ny haino aman-jery tokony hisahana izany moa efa tsy itokisana ary efa fantatra tamin'ny fanapahan-kevitra nisy kiantranoantrano kosa Vaomieran'ny Fandefasan'onjam-peo Ogandey (ao anatin'izany ny nandroahana an'i Gaetano ao amin'ny Capital Radio noho ny fanehoan-kevitra mikasika ny pelaka izay tsy izy akory no nilaza azy ; ary eo ihany koa moa ny nandroahana an'i Blake Lambert raha ny an'ny ivotoeran'ny haino aman-jery no resahina).
55And the biggest safety is in the fact that if the President himself has not seen the news item, there is a chance that there will be no direct reprisal on the media outlet.Ary ny tena mampilamina indrindra dia rehefa tsy mahita sombim-baovao ny Filoha dia misy ny vintana tsy hahazoan'ny haino aman-jery famaizana.
56Besides, most of the media house do not really appreciate some of the President's actions.Manampy izany ihany koa dia tsy mankasitraka ny ataon'ny filoham-pirenena loatra ny ankamaroan'ny vondrom-pampahalalam-baovao.
57About five months ago, he summoned owners and managers of the big media houses and, after making them wait at his office for over 7 hours, came in to lecture them on how to do their jobs.Dimy volana lasa teo ho eo izay dia nampiantso ny tompon-gazety sy ny mpitantana ambony amin'ireny haino aman-jery ireny ny filoha, ary rehefa nampiandrasana 7 ora mahery be izao ny olona dia izy indray no mbola be maoraly amin'ny fanaovana ny asam-pampahalalam-baovao.
58They did not take it well - and he seems to have created rebels in his midst - instead of making them his allies.Tsy nifankahazo moa ny resaka hany ka raha mpiaramiasa no notadiavin'ny filoha dia mpioko no noforoniny.
59The Government itself, like its leaderm has also so alienated itself from the mainstream media houses that they would not necessarily toe the government line out of choice.Ny governemanta koa moa, tahaka ny lehibeny koa, nanimbazimba loatra ny vondrom-pampahalalam-baovao ka tsy voatery hanohana ny governemanta raha misafidy.
60That is where I think Uganda has a free press.Eo no eritreretiko hoe malalaka ny fampahalalam-baovao ao Oganda.
61They are currently getting away with things many countries would not dream of.Omena zavatra be dia be tsiriritin'ny firenen-kafa maro ry zareo.
62This, and this is something to worry about, is bound to change with very big, bad consequences.Fa, ary ity no mampanahy indrindra, efa mihamiova izany izao ka ho avy ny fiantraikany goavana sy ho henjana dia henjana.
63Q: What role do you think blogging plays in this situation?F : Inona moa ny heverinao fa anjara asan'ny blaogy amin'io toe-draharaha io?
64A: In the middle of the 2006 presidential elections, the 27th Comrade and Ernest Bazanye are going to become points of reference.V : Nandritra ny fifidianana ho filoham-pirenena tamin'ny 2006 dia natao ho fakan-tahaka ny kamarady faha-27 (27th Comrade) sy Ernest Bazanye.
65They will step into their new roles and will become news leaders.Nisalotra ny anjara asany vaovao izy ireo ary lasa mpitari-kevitra vaovao.
66Through satire, jokes and barbed comments - like the ones Ivan makes - the bloggers will reach the bone of many a great audience.Niitatra lavitra ny ambaindain'ny mpamaky blaogy noho ny hatsikana, ny esoesonteny, ny fanehoan-kevitra masiaka tahaka ny an'Ivan.
67Blogs will become like valuable missives or illegal drugs which people will go out to look for and get.Lasa toy ny safira [taratasy sarobidy] na toy ny rongony tsy ara-dalàna nefa tadiavina fatratra ireny ny blaogy amin'izao fotoana izao.
68Q: Do you have plans to return to Uganda?Q : Mieritreritra ny hiverina any Oganda ve ianao ?
69A: Yes. Definitely.V : Mazava loatra.
70I still have plans of becoming Uganda's President!Mbola manana ny eriteritra ny ho filohan'i Oganda aho !
71But between now and then, I have a couple of novels to work on, a PhD to pursue, a Health and Education foundation to introduce to Ugandan villages - and especially, a Washington Lobby to garner.Fa alohan'izany aloha dia mbola hamita boky tantara foronina roa aho, mbola haka doctorat, Mbola hanangana ivotoerana hiantsoroka fahasalamana sy fanabeazana haseho amin'ny tantsaha Ogandey, ary hanangana lobby [na herimpanohanana miafina matanjaka] any Washington.
72So - now that I'm here, I might as well finish Master of the Sagging Cheeks.Efa eto moa aho ka farafaharatsiny vitako aloha ny Master of the Sagging Cheeks (Ilay Kalaza amin'ny takolaka miroraka).
73I have another 15 chapters to go, so I'm going to spend the next six months writing.Mbola misy toko 15 vitaina, noho izany dia hanoratra hatrany aho mandritra ny enimbolana ho avy.
74Dennis, thank you for your time.Dennis, misaotra anao amin'ny tafatafa nomenao. Rebekah Heacock
