1 | Afghanistan: Peace, and Trash | Afganistana:Fandriampahalemana … |
2 | While it may be nice to see the resurgence of news about Afghanistan in the U.S., there remains a great deal of complexity to the country. | Na dia voizina mafy indray aza amin'izao fotoana ny momba an'i Afganistana amin'ny fampahalalam-baovao any Etazonia, dia isan'izay raharaha goavana saro-bahàna ho an'ny firenena izy ity. |
3 | That isn't even discussing what Azar Balkhi sees as the Coalition's inability to recognize tribal rivalries when calling in air strikes. | Na tsy hiresaka izay hitan'i Azar Balkhi ho fahalemen'ny ‘Vondrona miara-dia' mba hifehy ny fifanenjehana ara-poko ka niantsoany fanafihana an'habakabaka aza. |
4 | It is nevertheless worth considering. | Resaka tsy azo idifiana anefa izany. |
5 | The bombing at Shindand is but one problem facing the often neglected west of Afghanistan. | Nyzera baomba tao Shindand dia iray ihany amin'ireo olana atrehin'ny faritra andrefan'i Afganistana izay matetika no atao an-jorom-bala ihany. |
6 | Typically thought to be more stable, and more secure, and more prosperous than the rest of the country (it is), Herat nevertheless faces some enormous challenges, starting with the so-called “Tajik Taliban.” | Tsaraina amin'ny ankapobeny ho milamina kokoa, azo antoka kokoa, sy mivoatra kokoa noho ireo faritra sisa ato amin'ny firenena (izany no izy), miatrika fanamby goavana ihany koa i Herat, manomboka amin'ireo ambara ho “Tajik Taliban.” |
7 | As Tim Foxely explains, | Hoy i Tim Foxely manazava, |
8 | The idea that now other ethnic groups are starting to emulate, if not actually join, the Taliban and conduct resistance against the Kabul regime lies somewhere between “a very real cause for concern” and “everybody's worst nightmare”. | Ny fiheverana hoe ankehitriny dia misy vondrona foko manomboka maka tàhaka, raha tsy efa nanara-dia mihitsy ny Taliban aza , sy mitarika fanoherana ny fitondràna ao Kabola, dia efa maka toerana any anelanelan'ny “tena antony marina ipoiran'ny ahiahy” sy ny “nofy ratsin'ny valalabemandry (isam-batan'olona)”. |
9 | It evokes the “tipping point” concerns of ISAF commanders past and present that the population might eventually get fed up with tens of thousands of international soldiers charging around dropping bombs on them and a corrupt government that fails to deliver and shift their allegiances elsewhere. | Avoitrany amin'izany ny fisian'ny “faritra fitanilàn” ireo mpitari-tafika mpibaiko ao amin'ny ISAF, fahiny sy ankehitriny, izay efa mankaleo ny mponina ny fiafaràny amin'ireo miaramila iraisam-pirenena an'arivony mirodorodo eraky ny vazantany sy manjera baomba ao ambonin'ny lohany, sy amin'ny governemanta iray mpandray kolikoly tsy mahavita izay andràsana aminy sy manara-poana any ananonanona any. |
10 | The other angle is the very high likelihood that Akbari was sacked from his position for being corrupt or incompetent or both and is therefore having nothing more than a big sulk, Afghan warlord style. | Fomba fijery hafa ny fifikirana amin'ny faminavinàna fa i Akbari dia nalàna tamin'ny toerany noho ny kolikoly na ny tsy fahaiza-manaony, na izy roa mitambatra ary dia tsy manan-javatra hafa intsony hatao afa-tsy ny be dongy, toy ny fanaon'ireo mpitari-tafika Afgana. |
11 | As such, it would be a localised and exceptional situation and probably nothing to worry about. | Amin'ny toy izany, dia tranga maningana sy voafaritra ka tsy dia misy tokony hamakiana ati-doha loatra. |
12 | This is an excellent summary of just how difficult it is to determine which problems in Afghanistan require serious consideration and near-panic, and which ones are, for lack of a better term, cyclical variations in a standard conflict pattern. | Ity no mamintina tsara hoe hatraiza no tena maha-sarotra ny famaritana hoe ny inona amin'ireo olana ao Afganistana no tena ilaina araha-maso akaiky sy mitondra mankamin'ny fisavoritahana, ary ny inona, noho ny tsy fahitàna izay tena mahalaza azy mazava, no atao hoe fiovaovàna mihodinkodina eo amin'ny sarin'ny fifanolànana efa mahazatra . |

14 | This can manifest itself in a couple of ways. | Endrika maro no mety hisehoan'izany. |
15 | Alex Strick van Linschoten, for example, just returned to Kandahar from a few weeks abroad. | Alex Strick van Linschoten, ohatra, tsy ela akory izao no niverina ao Kandahar rehefa avy tany ivelany nandritry ny herinandro vitsivitsy. |
16 | What has he noticed upon his return? | Inona no tsikariny tamin'ny fiverenany ? |
17 | If there's one thing two weeks abroad (California and London) does it gives a certain perspective on the things you quickly accept as ‘normal' when living in Kandahar. | Angamba raha misy zavatra nentin'ny roa herinandro nivahiniànana tany ivelany (Kalifornia sy Laondra), dia ny nanomezany fahafahana maminavina ireo zavatra izay mora ekenao avy hatrany ho ‘voajanahary' raha monina ao Kandahar. |
18 | If someone would unholster his pistol and place it on the table at Café Nero in London I think they'd have a problem or two, but in Kandahar I don't blink twice when interviewees or friends come in off the street and lay their AK-47 or even once an RPG next to the wall. | Raha misy olona mandrangarànga ny basy poletany ary mametraka izany eo ambonin'ny latabatra ao amin'ny Café Nero ao Laondra, dia heveriko ho manana olana iray na roa ry zareo, nefa ao Kandahar, tsy hisaina indroa akory aho raha ireo olona anaovana fanadihadiana na ireo namana no miditra avy any an-dalambe any ka mametraka ny AK-47n-dry zareo na ny RGP-ny (fandefasana bala afo-manga) hiankina eo amin'ny rindrina. |
19 | Otherwise the city's pretty quiet. | Ankoatra izay dia milamina ihany ny tanàna. |
20 | Indeed. | Izany eo ihany. |
21 | Further north, Harry Rud wanders through the trash-filled streets of Kabul, and remarks on just how disconnected foreigners can fell when locked inside their armored compounds: | Somary any avaratra any, i Harry Rud dia mamakivaky ireo arabe voaràvaka fako erak'i Kabola, ary mahamarika hoe hatraiza no fahatsapàn'ireo vahiny ho toy ny tafasaraka amin'ny tontolo rehefa mihidy ao anatin'ireny tanàna be voaàro misy azy ireny ry zareo : |
22 | Many foreigners here are not allowed to step foot outside their compounds, have lists of places they can and (more often) cannot go to, and strict rules about how high the walls, how thick the barbed wire, how many armed guards surround them. | Be ny vahiny aty no tsy mahazo mamoaka ny tongony ivelan'ny faritra misy azy ireo, mànana lisitry ny toerana azony aleha sy, (amin'ny ankapobeny) tsy azony aleha, sy fepetra hentitra momba ny haàvon'ny rindrina, ny hatevenan'ny fefy tariby, ny isan'ny mpiambina mitam-piadiana manodidina azy ry zareo. |
23 | It is not a situation most want or enjoy. | Tsy dia zavatra irian'ny maro sy ankasitrahany loatra izany. |
24 | It drives many to distraction. | Mitondra ny betsaka ho any amin'ny tsy fifantohana aza. |
25 | I am lucky to be able to walk a little further, though it gives me no greater feel for the place when I'm too nervous to stop and look around me. | Manam-bintana ihany aho mba afaka mandeha lavidavitra, na dia tsy ahitàko maminy loatra aza eo amin'ilay toerana rehefa misavorovoro iny aho nony hijanona ka mitoditodika mijery ny manodidina ahy. |
26 | It's hard to describe the causes of that nervousness. | Sarotra be ny hamaritra ny anton'izay fisavorovoroana izay. |
27 | There's the obvious but unlikely risk of being in the wrong place at the wrong time. | Eo ny hoe mety ho amin'ny toerana sy fotoana iray maha-idiran'andro ny tena. |
28 | Then there's that disconnect; the sense of us and them it breeds, of being so very out of place and watched by an unknown crowd. | Ary izay no mahatonga ilay fiheverana ho tafasaraka amin'ny tontolo: ny hevitry ny hoe isika sy zareo fonosin'izay, ny fiheverana ny tena ho tsy amin'ny toerana sahàza sy arahan'olo-maro tsy fantatra maso. |
29 | A bird-like suspicion, to stretch the point. | Toy ny vorona taitai-dava, mandefa lavitra ny fijery. |
30 | But this raises the question: just what, exactly, is the West doing in Afghanistan after seven years of occupation? | Nefa mahatonga fanontaniana toy izao izany : fa tena inona marina moa no ataon'ny Tandrefana aty Afganistana fito taona aty aorian'ny fanjakazakàna? |
31 | Azar Balkhi notes that in the West, there seems to be mindless panic but no real sense of urgency: | Manamarika i Azar Balkhi fa toa misy fisavoritahana tsy voahevitra ao Andrefana ao, fa tsy dia ahitàna tàratra loatra ny dikan'ny hoe hamehana : |
32 | Pakistani Taliban fighters openly flogged two butchers for selling the flesh of animals in the northwestern Swat valley today September 25, and in the same day the Pakistani soldiers fired at American reconnaissance helicopters that were escorting U.S. ground troops along the volatile border Thursday, sparking a five-minute ground battle between the countries. | Ireo mpitolona talibana pakistane dia nikapoka teo imasom-bahoaka mpivaro-kena roa tratra nivarotra henam-biby tany amin'ny sàha andrefan'i Swat androany 25 Septambra, ary ny androtr'io ihany dia notifirin'ny tafika Pakistane ihany koa ireo helikoptera mpanara-maso an'ny Amerikana nanàra-dia ireo tafika an-tanety US nandeha tamin'iny sisin-tany tsy dia milamina loatra iny tamin'ny Alakamisy teo, nahatonga fifandonana an-tanety naharitra dimy minitra teo amin'ny firenena roa tonta. |
33 | This is all happening as President Asif Ali Zardari and Hamid Karzai are promising Washington help in the war on terror and meeting with the top American leaders in New York… | Nitranga izany rehetra izany nandritra indrindra ny fotoana nanomezan'ny Filoha Asif Ali Zardari sy Hamid Karzal toky an'i Washignton fa hitondra fanampiana amin'ny ady atao amin'ny fampihorohoroana izy ireo sady nihaona tamin'ireo lohandohan'ny mpisorona tao New York … |
34 | Heavily armed Taliban fighters brought the blindfolded butchers to a crowded market in Kabal sub-district and flogged them in front of a throng of about 200 people. | Nentin'ireo mpitolona talibana nirongo fiadiana mavesatra ireo mpivaro-kena voatampina maso ho any amina tsena iray be olona tao amin'ny soba-ditrikan'i Kabal ary dia nokapohin'izy ireo teo imason'ireo olona efa ho 200 teo ho eo. |
35 | The media was also called by the Taliban to cover the event but there is no any government to stop them. | Nampandrenesin-dry zareo talibana koa ny fampahalalàm-baovao mba handrakotra ity tranga ity, fa tsy nisy na dia iray aza avy amin'ny governemanta mba hanàkana azy ireo. |
36 | Which brings us back to where we started: Afghanistan's extreme complexity. | Izay mitondra antsika hiverina any amin'ny teboka fiaingàna : dia ny maha raharaha saro-bahàna an'i Afganistana. |
37 | The latest meme to be making the rounds of policy offices in London, Washington DC, and Brussels, is negotiating with the Taliban. | Adihevitra farany nihodinkodina tany amin'ny sampandraharaha politika tao Laondra, Washington, sy Brioksela, ny fifampiraharahana amin'ireo talibana. Manontany tena i Christian Bleuer : |
38 | Christian Bleuer wonders: | • “Talibana ” inona (Quetta Shura? |
39 | * what “Taliban” (Quetta Shura? | Ireo mpitarika eo an-toerana azo lazaina ho mahaleo tena amin'ny ampahany ihany? |
40 | Local semi-autonomous commanders? | Ny Hizb ? ry zareo Haqqanis ? sy ny maro hafa? |
41 | Hizb? Haqqanis? | Sa izy rehetra miaraka ?) |
42 | Others? all at the same time?) * and if answer is “Moderate Taliban” then please define who exactly they are. | • Ary raha toa ny valinteny ka hoe “ireo Talibana Malemy fihetsika” , isaorana sahady ny fanomezana famaritana hoe iza marina moa izy ireo. |
43 | * don't you already consider the Afghan government's reconciliation program to be a form of negotiation? | • Tsy saininareo ho toy ny efa endrika fifampiraharahàna ve ny vinavinam-pampihavànana ketrehin'ny governemanta Afgana? |
44 | * do you really not know about the Afghan government communicating/negotiating with insurgents? | • Tena tsy mahalàla marina ny fifampiresahana/fifampiraharahan'ny governemanta Afgana amin'ireo mpioko ve ianareo ? |
45 | All that being said, there remain bright points of life within Afghanistan. | Rehefa voambàra izany rehetra izany, mbola misy ihany kosa fiainana mamiratra eto Afganistana. |
46 | Andrea shares just such a moment, and it really cannot be done proper justice through excerpting. | Mizara ny fotoana iray toy izany i Andrea, ary tsy azo tsaraina velively amin'ny alàlan'izay fitantaràna fohy. |
47 | It will have to stand on its own. | Miteny ho azy izany zavatra izany. |
