1 | Egypt: “Have a Voice” Campaign | Ejipta: Fanentanana “Mitenena” |
2 | As Egypt gears up for its 2011 presidential elections, a group of bloggers have launched a new campaign to make people believe that they can usher in change and make their voices heard through voting. | Raha miomana fatratra ho amin'ny fifidianana filoham-pirenena hatao amin'ny taona 2011 i Ejipta dia misy andian'olona ao amin'ny tontolon'ny bilaogy manao fanentanana mampirisika ny olona hino fa afaka manova izy ireo ary afaka miteny amin'ny alalan'ny latsa-bato hataony. |
3 | That's how the Have a Voice campaign started, when Ghada Abdel Aal, Sherif Abdel Aziz, Marianne Ngui Hanna, Enas Lotfy, Hany George and the director Amr Salama worked on a short film to promote the idea, then formed a Facebook group to discuss their message, before moving it over to the blogosphere. | Izay no antony nahatonga ny fanentanana “Mitenena”, nanomboka azy i Ghada Abdel Aal, Sherif Abdel Aziz, Marianne Ngui Hanna, Enas Lotfy, Hany George ary ny talen'izy ireo Amr Salama tamin'ny fanaovana horonan-tsary mihetsika ho fanohanana ity fanentanana ity, avy eo hanao fanentanana ao amin'ny Facebook mialoha ny hanaparitahana azy ao amin'ny tontolon'ny bilaogy. |
4 | Bothayna, one of the contributors in the campaign, wrote on her blog: | Bothayna, anankiray amin'ireo mpanatanteraka ity fanentanana ity no manoratra ao amin'ny bilaoginy: |
5 | The campaign, that's been launched by some bloggers, asking you to have a voice, doesn't really count which party you will vote for. | Ity fanentanana ity, natomboky ny mpitoraka bilaogy vitsivitsy, mangataka anao hiteny, dia tsy mijery antoko politika hofidianao akory. |
6 | It only calls on you to ask for your right. | Miantso anao izy hampiasa ny zonao. |
7 | It asks you to go make your election card before the end of January. | Miantso anao izy handeha hanamboatra kara-pifidianana mialohan'ny faran'ny volana janoary. |
8 | This campaign and the people working on it deserve a lot of respect. | Mendrika ny hajaina ity fanentanana ity miaraka amin'ireo olona miasa ao aminy. |
9 | It also deserves that you think for a minute and ask yourself: Why do I underestimate my voice? | Mampiertreritra anao koa izy na dia iray minitra monja aza hanontany tena: Nahoana moa aho no hanambany ny feoko? |
10 | One of the banners used for the campaign, done by Egyptian Blogger Tantawi. | Iray amin'ny faneva entina manentana nataon'i Tantawi. |
11 | Ehssan wrote in a blog post entitled Instead of my immigration visa, I will make my election card, saying: | Ehssan manoratra ao amin'ny bilaogy mitondra ny lohateny hoe “Raha samy haka fahazoan-dalana hifindra monina ihany, aleoko manamboatra kara-pifidianana”: |
12 | | Satria manofy aho fa ny taona 2010 dia ho fanombohana vaovao, ary tsy hitovy amin'ny taon-dasa rehetra izay misy zavatra tsy ampy foana; matoky aho fa ny fifidianana amin'ny herintaona dia tena ho vintana tsara ho antsika hanaovana zavatra tsara, toy izay hitomany ny zavatra ratsy hiainantsika ankehitriny. |
13 | We don't have to put high hopes on the coming elections, because it isn't the magic stick that will turn Egypt into a Princess. | Tsy mila mametraka fitokisana betsaka amin'ny fifidianana ho avy isika, satria tsy hazo kely mpanao fahagagana akory izany ka hanova an'i Ejipta ho lasa Mpanjakavavy. |
14 | But instead of letting the country stay where it is, and we keep criticizing .. we should do something positive to clean the dust that covered everything in the country and suffocated it. | Kanefa raha samy hamela ny firenena ho amin'ny toeran amisy azy ankehitriny ihany, sady hitsikera foana…dia afaka manao zavatra tsara isika hanadiovana ny vovoka mandrakotra antsika sady manempotra ny firenentsika. |
15 | Instead of planning for your immigration, to run away from the current situation.. please do your election card as well, and elect the candidate you feel can do something good. | Raha samy mieritreritra ny hifindra monina ihany, hitsoaka ny zava-misy…dia miangavy izahay, aleo manamboatra kara-pifidianana, ary mifidy izay olona eritreretinao fa hanao zavatra tsara. |
16 | One of the campaign's founders, Sherif AbdElAziz explained why he decided to carry out this campaign, and how the idea started saying: | Anankiray amin'ireo mpanorina ny fanentanana, Sherif AbdElAziz no manazava ny antony nahatonga azy hikarakara ity fanentanana ity, sy ny niatombohan'ny hevitra: |
17 | We worked a lot on campaigns which were pro Human Rights. | Miasa mafy ho an'ny fanentanana manohana ny zon'olombelona izahay. |
18 | We worked also on campaigns to change the surrounding culture. | Miasa koa ho an'ny fanentanana hanovana ny fomba amam-panao. |
19 | But when it comes to the coming elections, we can't stand still watching from a distance or do some more lazy criticism. | Koa nahoana moa no tsy hiasa amin'ny fanentanana hifidy, tsy afaka mitazana fotsiny izahay na sanatria hitsikera fotsiny. |
20 | This time, we need to go down to the streets and vote! | Amin'ity indray mandeha ity, mila mandeha mifidy isika! |
21 | Not only that - but to take the maximum number of people we can convince to go with us too. | Tsy hoe izay ihany - fa hitarika olona faran'izay betsaka horesena lahatra hanaraka anay . |
22 | Especially this time - while we are still young- we can not wait for a miracle, or that the new generations will wake up one day to find everything suddenly changed. | Amin'izao fotoana izao indrindra - dieny mbola tanora isika - tsy hiandry fahagagana , na koa hoe ny taranaka ho avy no hitsangana hanao fanovana tampoka. |
23 | That's why I chose to have a voice. | Izay no antony mahatonga ahy hisafidy ny hiteny. |
24 | That's why I took part in the marvelous video by my friend director Amr Salama. | Izay no antony mahatonga ahy handray anjara amin'ny sary mihetsika mahafinaritra nataon'ny tale Amr Salama. |
25 | That's why we -some bloggers- gathered around a thought that Ghada AbdElAal suggested, and translated it into an idea. | Izay no antony nahatonga anay - mpitoraka biloagy maromaro - hitovy eritreritra amin'i Ghada AbdelAal, ka nanova izany eritreritra izany ho tena izy. |
26 | We took the idea and went to Amr, and Amr transformed it into this video that explains it beautifully. | Noraisinay ny hevitra ary nentina teo amain'i Amr, ka izy indray no nanova azy ho sary mihetsika izay manazava azy tsara sady mahafinaritra. |
27 | I took part in this video, along with other bloggers by acting, and without a single penny. | Mandray anjara amin'io sary mihetsika io aho, miaraka amin'ny mpitoraka bilaogy am-perinasa, ary tsy misy karama na dia kely aza. |
28 | Another blogger, Azmiralda, wrote her reasons why she is supporting this campaign saying: | Mpitoraka bilaogy hafa, Azmiralda, no manoratra ny antony nahatonga azy hanohana ity fanentanana ity: |
29 | I don't want to feel one day that I was part of the reasons why I didn't give my son or daughter a chance to live a better life. I don't want him/her to listen to the same talk we hear all their lives, and nothing happens. | Tsy tiako ny mieritreritra fa indray andro any dia izaho no anisan'ny fototra nahatonga ny zanako lahy sy ny zanako vavy tsy hanana fiainanan tsara. tsy tiako izy hihaino resabe mitovy amin'ny henoko ankehitriny mandritra ny androm-piainany, kanefa tsy mist zavatra vita akory eo. |
30 | Even if, nothing would happen, but at least I have to feel that I've done my part. And then won't 80 million people do something? and God would stand beside them? | Eny fa na dia tsy hisy zava-bita aza, kanefa aho mahatsapa fa efa vitako ny adidiko. Tsy hanao na inona na inona ve ny mponina 80 tapitrisa? |
31 | Nesreen did a quick comparison between the Egyptian and Iranian elections saying: | Tsy hitsangana ao andamosiny ve Andriamanitra? Nesreen no manao fampitahana fohy ny fifidianana any Ejipta sy any Iran: |
32 | I was astonished, while following the Iranian opposition revolt, by their enthusiasm and faith in Mir Hossein Mousavi and his right to win; and I pity our elections that didn't leave a memory in our minds, or effect in our country, or a letter in history. | Gaga aho raha nanaraka ny fihoarana nataon'ny mpanohitra iraniana, miaraka amin'ny hafanam-pony sy ny finoany fa tokony ho mpandresy i Mir Hossein Mousavi; malahelo ny fifidianatsika ahi izay tsy mamela fahatsiarovana ho antsika akory, tsy misy dikany ho an'ny firenentsika, tsy mamela taratasy eo amin'ny tantarantsika. |
33 | As if it didn't happen. | Ohatry ny hoe tsy nisy akory. |
34 | Part of my astonishment faded away when I knew that there are either 59.6 million or 57 million registered voters out of their 70 million over all population. | Anisan'ny mahagaga sy mahakivy ahy ny fahafantarako fa 59,6 na 57 tapitrisa no voasoratra anarana ao amin'ny lisitry ny mpifidy kanefa 70 tapitrisa no isan'ny mponina. |
35 | I think there is no need to put the numbers of registered voters in Egypt compared to the over all population number. | Inoako fa tsy misy antony ny anaranan'ny mpifidy ao amin'ny lisitra raha ampitahaina amin'ny isan'ny mponina. |
36 | Amr Ezz EL Deen stressed to his readers than time flies and the due date is coming near: | Amr Ezz EL Deen no manaitra ny mpamakiny fa mandeha ny fotoana ary antomotra ny daty: |
37 | Beware that the due date to have your election card is the 31st of January 2010. | Aoka isika hitandrina fa amin'ny 31 janoary 2010 no fe-potoana farany hanaovana kara-pifidianana. |
38 | Only one month left. | Iray volana sisa tavela. |
39 | So stop being lazy and don't say there is a lot of time. | Noho izany atsaharo ny hakamoana ary aoka tsy hiteny hoe mbola misy ny fotoana. |
40 | Go now, and take with you as much as you can from friends and acquaintances. Egypt deserves everything good. | Mandehana dieny izao, ary ento miaraka aminao izay namanao na akaiky anao farany betsaka indrindra. mendrika zavatra tsara i Ejipta. |
41 | It's our turn now to change! | Anjarantsika ny manova! |
42 | Ahmad Shokeir wrote an informative post, and concluded it saying: | Ahmad Shokeir manoratra milaza vaovao, sady mamehy hoe: |
43 | The saying that “What will my vote do when I know it will be fraud or neglected?” became very silly and boring and doesn't count for nations which wish to live freely. | Ny filazana fa “Inona moa izay vatoko raha fantatro fa hisy hosoka ao?” dia mahamenatra sady tsy mivoatra ary tsy misy dikany ho an'ny firenena izay irina hiaina am-pahalalahana. |
44 | If you don't ask for your right in voting, and gave up your voice.. then don't be sad when someone else plays with it and uses it the way they like. | Raha tsy mitaky ny zonao hifidy ianao sady tsy mandatsa-bato… dia mitomania raha olona hafa no hilalao izany amin'izay itiavany azy. |
45 | Just go and give your vote, and when you do, others will do too. | Mandehana ary mandatsaha vato, raha manao izany ianao, dia manao ohatranao koa ny hafa. |
46 | This way the whole picture will be changed and will be difficult to be corrupted. | Amin'izay dia hiova daholo ny sary rehetra ary ho sarotra ny hisiloky ny vatonao. |
47 | Other bloggers share similar posts like Mohamed [Ar], who is a medical student, Esraa [Ar], Self [Ar], Cema [Ar], Shams EL Deen [Ar] and Hisham [Ar]. | Mpitoraka bilaogy hafa no mizara lahatsoratra toy izany koa tahaka an'i Mohamed [Ar], mpianatra mpitsabo, Esraa [Ar], Self [Ar], Cema [Ar], Shams EL Deen [Ar] syHisham [Ar]. |
48 | Lamada [Ar] also wrote her memories with election fraud, yet asked people to be persistent and respond positively with the campaign. | Lamada [Ar] koa manoratra ny fahatsiarovany ny hala-bato tamin'ny fifidianana, miangavy ny mponina hitojo hatrany ary hamaly am-pahavitrihana ity fanentanana ity. |
