1Dominican Republic: The Theft of Cables and Scrap MetalRepoblika Dominikana : Halatra tariby sy vy
2Some of the recent newspaper headlines around the Dominican Republic read, “Cables Stolen from Duarte Bridge,” “Peña Gómez Monument Dismantled,” and “La Salle School Without Power.”Maro tamin'ireo lohateny vaventy an-gazetin'ny Repoblika Dominikana tato ho ato no nivaky toy izao, “Halatra tariby tamin'ny tetezan'i Duarte ,” “Voasamantsamaka ny tahirim-bakok'i Peña Gómez,” ary “ Tsy misy herinaratra ny Sekoly La Salle.”
3All of these headlines are related to the same topic that left many people perplexed: the theft of cables and metal around the capital city of Santo Domingo and other cities around the country.Ireny lohateny vaventy ireny dia samy milaza zavatra mitovy maha-sanganehana ny olon-drehetra avokoa: ny halatra tariby sy vy manerana ny tanàna renivohitr'i Santo Domingo sy ireo tanàn-dehibe hafa manerana ny firenena.
4Apparently, the items are then sold in a very lucrative business.Raha zohiana, izy ireny dia amidy amin'ny vidiny lafo tokoa avy eo.
5Car: I Swear There was a Bridge Here This Morning.Car: izingiziniko fa nisy tetezana teto aninkeheo maraina.
6Truck is taking bridge to The Purchaser of Metals.Entin'ilay fiara vaventy ho any amin'ny Mpividy Vy ny tetezana.
7Drawing by Cristian Hernández of El Nacional and used with permission from artist.Sarisary nataon'i Cristian Hernández avy ao amin'ny El Nacional ary nampiasaina miaraka amin'ny fanomezan-dàlan'ny mpanakanto.
8The thefts began very subtly at first, with the disappearance of some sewer covers and plaques that adorned busts and sculptures in various locations across the city.Nanomboka tsimoramora teny ireny halatra ireny tany amboalohany, miaraka amin'ny fanjavonan'irony saron-tatatra sy takelaka manaingo sarivarahina tamin'ny faritra maro nanerana ny tanàna irony.
9At the beginning, many did not pay much attention to it because it seemed to be commonplace.Tany am-piandohana, tsy dia nisy niraharaha loatra ny momba azy io satria toa zavatra tsy dia manaitra.
10However, over time the number of holes that appeared, and the number of busts vandalized began to increase across the city, and it soon became apparent that something was happening.Saingy, araka ny fandrosoan'ny fotoana no nitomboan'ny saron-tatatra mihanjahanja, sy nitomboan'ny isan'ireo sarivongana voatsiratsira manerana ny tanàna, teo vao nanomboka nibaribary koa fa misy zavatra mitranga any.
11Megamonchy avy amin'ny El Rincón del Mega [es] dia manoratra mikasika toerana vitsivitsy nitrangan'ny halatra, toy ny jiro 50 nanazava ny manodidina ny Jacobo Majluta Avenue, izay ilàna grues sy fitaovana goavana mihitsy vao mahetsika azy ireo:
12Megamonchy of El Rincón del Mega [es] writes about some of the places where the thefts took place, such as 50 light posts around the Jacobo Majluta Avenue, which needed cranes and heavy machinery to move them:Ahora se estan robando los rieles de los trenes que funcionaron una vez en el país y en los ingenios. Ahora yo me pregunto ¿Es tan difícil dar con estos ladrones de metales, que lo usan para fundirlos?
13Now they are stealing the rails from the trains that once ran in the country and in the sugar plantations.NO Simplemente no hay voluntad para acabarlos. Pues cuantas compañías en el país tienen la capacidad para fundir estos metales.
14Now I ask myself, is it so hard to stop these metal thieves, who melt down the metal?Lo que hay es vigilarlas. Si los representantes de guinness world records visitaran el país de seguro que le adicionarían varias páginas a la próxima impresión del libro donde los dominicanos estaríamos bailando.
15Amin'izao fotoana ry zareo dia mangalatra indray ny lalamby fandehanan'ny fiarandalamby namakivaky ny firenena sy ny tany fambolena fary fahiny.
16Manontany tena aho ankehitriny, tena zavatra sarotra be mihitsy ve ny manàkana ireny mpangalatra vy ireny e, iza no mandrendrika ny vy?
17NO.TSIA.
18There simply is no desire to stop them.Ny marina dia ny finiavana hanàkana azy ireny no tsy misy.
19How many companies around the country have the capacity to melt down these metals?Orinasa firy manerana ny firenena no mànana fahafahana handredrika an'ireny vy ireny?
20They must be watched.Tokony haraha-maso izy ireny.
21If representatives from the Guinness World Records came to visit the country surely they would add more pages in the next edition of the books, where the Dominicans will be dancing (for having the record for the most amount of metal stolen).Raha misy solontenan'ny Guinness World Records tonga mitsidika aty amin'ny tanàna, azo antoka ny hanampian-dry zareo pejy vitsivitsy ao amin'ny boky havoakany, ahitàna ireo Dominikana mandihy (fa nahazo ny record amin'ny habetsahan'ny vy nisy nangalatra).
22Later, reports of the theft of cables began to arrive, including electrical cables, as well as fiber optic leading to the conclusion that there was a preference for the copper, which is then exported to China where there is a high demand.Taoriana kely, nivoaka ny tatitra mahakasika ireo halatra tariby, ahitàna ny tariby mpitondra herinaratra, hatramin'ny fibre optique mahatonga ny tena hisaina fa mahasarika kokoa ny varahina, izay aondrana mankany Sina avy eo fa any no be ny tinady.
23Héctor Minaya of Diario Digital RD [es], summarizes the export situation this way and how the government turns a blind eye:Héctor Minaya ao amin'ny Diario Digital RD [es], manao famintinana ny fanondrànana entana toy izao manaraka izao sy ny fanaovan'ny governemanta masobe tsy mahita:
24Para detener el saqueo de cables, tapas, placas y monumentos de cobre que comenzó el año último alentado por el alto precio del metal, es necesario que se prohiba la exportación de cobre y otros metales, los cuales no son de producción nacional.
25In order to stop the looting of cables, lids, plaques, and copper monuments that started last year because of the high price of metal, there needs to be a ban on the export of copper and other metals, which are not produced nationally.De aquellos metales que se extraen en el país, se presume que el Gobierno, a través de la Dirección General de Aduanas y otras instituciones, tiene algún control y hay un registro para los exportadores. Se ha publicado que semanalmente viene un barco, al parecer ante la indiferencia de las autoridades, para llevarse material producto del saqueo de estos metales.
26Mba ho fisorohana ny halatra tariby, saron-tàtatra, takelaby sy sarivarahina izay nanomboka tamin'ny taon-dasa noho ny fisondrotry ny vidin'ny vy, ilaina ny handraràna ny fanondrànana varahina sy ireo karazam-by hafa, izay tsy vokarina eto an-toerana.
27Of those metals that are extracted from the country, it is presumed that the Government, through the General Customs Department and other institutions, have some type of control and a registry for the exporters.Ho an'ireo vy trandràhana eto an-toerana kosa, ilaina ny hanànan'ny Governemanta, amin'ny alàlan'ny ladoany sy ny sampan-draharaha hafa, fomba azo anaraha-maso sy rejistra momba ireo mpanondrana entana.
28Every week, they publish that a boat is arriving, facing the indifference from the authorities, to take away the material from the looting of these metals.Isan-kerinandro, mampahafantatra ry zareo fa hoe misy sambo tonga, mandalo eo ambany vavoron'ny manampahefana [tsy raharahainy], mba haka ireo entana avy amin'ny halatra vy ireo.
29Thanks to these thieves, numerous streets, avenues, bridges and highways in Santo Domingo and around the country were left in the dark, providing competition to the power outages that have also been taking place for decades without solution.Noho ireny halatra ireny, làlankely maro, avenues, tetezana ary làlambe maro ao Santo Domingo sy manerana ny tanàna no miaina anaty haizina, mahatonga fifaninanana amin'ny fahatapahan'ny herinaratra izay efa niainana ampolon-taona maro tsy nisy vahaolana.
30When the streets and avenues are left in the dark, traffic lights are also left useless, which contributes to vehicular chaos.Rehefa latsaka anaty haizina ny arabe sy ny avenues, tsy misy asany koa ny jiro fandrindràana fifamoivoizna, ka miteraka fikorontanan'ny fivezivezena.
31What about the telephone companies?Ary mba ahoana ny amin'ny orinasan-telefaona?
32Joan Guerrero of Duarte 101 [es] writes that the telecommunications sector in the Dominican Republic has been the victim of the growing “industry” of the theft of cables and equipment, which directly affects the consumer.Joan Guerrero avy amin'ny Duarte 101 [es] dia manoratra fa ny sehatry ny fifandraisan-davitra ao amin'ny Repoblika Dominikana dia isan'ny iharam-pahavoazana amin'ny firongatry ny “orinasan”-ny halatra tariby sy kojakoja, izay miantraika mivantana any amin'ny mpanjifa.
33These companies calculate that their losses total 53 million pesos [es] (approximately 1.5 million dollars) this year alone.Ireny orinasa ireny dia nikajy fa ny fitambaran'ny fatiantok'izy ireo dia 53 tapitrisa pesos [es] (eo ho eo amin'ny 1.5 tapitrisa dollars eo) tamin'ity taona ity fotsiny.
34When the companies add in customer complaints, it becomes a very serious problem that needs addressing.Rehefa raisina miaraka amin'io ireo fitarainan'ny mpanjifa, dia lasa olana goavam-be ilam-bahaolana izy ity.
35Guerrero also notes that the telecommunications company Tricom has been taking to YouTube to show video of some of the thefts and to offer a reward for information leading to the arrest of the cable thieves:Guerrero koa dia nanamarika fa ny orinasam-pifandraisan-davitra Tricom dia nikitika ny YouTube mba hamoaka video mikasika ireo halatra ka hanome valisoa ho an'izay vaovao mitarika ho amin'ny fisamborana ireo mpangalatra tariby:
36Despite some control measures implemented by the government to differentiate the real scraps from the fake scraps, Diario 27-F states that it is impossible to separate the metal.Na teo aza ny fepetra napetraky ny governemanta hanavahana ny vy notsimponina amin'ny vd halatra, i Diario 27-F dia nanindry fa sarotra be ny hanasaraka ireo vy ireo.
37There have been some arrests and two people are being tried in court.Nisy ihany fisamborana vitsivitsy ary olona roa no nentina teny amin'ny fitsarana.
38However, the robberies continue, such as in the case of the La Salle School in Santiago earlier this week, where classes were suspended until further notice.Kanefa, mitohy ihany ny fandrobàna, toy izay nitranga tao amin'ny Sekoly La Salle ao Santiago tamin'ny fiandohan'ny herinandro, izay voatery nampiatoana ny fampianarana mandritry ny fotoana tsy voafetra.
