1 | Egypt: The Verb “To Mubarak” | Ejipta: Ny enti-milaza “mi-mubarak” |
2 | This post is part of our special coverage Egypt Revolution 2011. | |
3 | Last Thursday evening, riders of San Francisco, California's Bay Area Rapid Transit (BART) discovered that their mobile phones weren't working. | Ny takarivan'ny alakamisy lasa teo dia nahatsikaritra ny mpandeha fiaran-dalamby BART [Bay Area Rapid Transit] tao San Francisco, California fa tsy mandeha ny findainy. |
4 | By the next morning, rumors were circling as to whether service had been disconnected on the system, and by 10:00, BART had made a statement (since updated), confirming that they had shut off networks on subway platforms, in anticipation of a protest. | Ny ampitso maraina dia nandeha ny tsaho fa tsy nopihana novonoina ny fitaovana, ary tamin'ny folo ny BART no namoaka fanambarana (efa noankotrihina avy teo), nanamafy fa tsy maintsy nopihana ny fitaovam-piseraserana tao amin'ny metro ho fiomanana amin'ny fihetsiketseham-panoherana hiseho. |
5 | Last month, local activists protesting the shooting deaths of Charles Hill (warning: violent content) and Oscar Grant succeeded in shutting down BART stations in protest. | Tamin'ny volana lasa teo dia nahavita nanakatona ny garan'ny BART ny mpikatroka tao an-toerana ho fanoherana ny nitifirana an'i Charles Hill (tandremo: sary mampihoron-koditra) sy i Oscar Grant. |
6 | BART's actions provoked ire from civil liberties groups and activists, as well as Anonymous, which immediately sprung to action, planning #opBART on Twitter. | Niteraka fahavinirana teo amin'ny vondrona sy mpikatroka miaro ny zon'olombelona ny nataon'ny BART, tezitra ihany koa ny Anonymous, izay niasa avy hatrany hanao hetsika tao amin'ny Twitter amin'ny alalan'ny #opBART. |
7 | By Sunday, they had defaced the website mybart.org. | Ny alahady, novan-dry zareo endrika ny mybart.org. |
8 | At the same time, local activists planned a protest for Monday, August 15. | Nandritra izany fotoana izany, nokasaina ny hanaovana fihetsiketseham-panoherana ny alatsinainy 15 aogositra. |
9 | While the protests were taking place in San Francisco, an Egyptian solidarity campaign was taking form on Twitter. | Raha nandeha ary noho izany ny fihetsiketseham-panoherana tao San Francisco dia nahazo endrika ihany koa ny fiaraha-mientana Ejipsiana avy ao amin'ny Twitter. |
10 | Coining the hashtag #MuBARTek, Egyptians compared BART's actions with those of former president Mubarak who in January famously shut down Internet networks in an attempt to quell protests. | Nakorintsana ny tenifototra #MuBARTek ho fampitahan'ny Ejipsiana ny nataon'ny BART tamin'ny nataon'ny filoha ejipsiana teo aloha teo aloha Mubarak nanapika ny fitaovana fampiseraserana aterineto handemena ny fihetsiketsehana. |
11 | Tarek Amr (@gr33ndata) explained the hashtag to followers: | Tarek Amr (@gr33ndata) nanazava ny tenifototra tamin'ny mpamakiny: |
12 | In case you're wondering, yes, the Egyptians now have a mockery hastag combining #opBART with #Mubarak farce, and it's called #muBARTek | Raha toa mbola lasan'eritreritra ianao, eny, manana tenifototra maneso ny Ejipsiana izao tamin'ny fampitambarana ny #opBART tamin'ny vazivazy #Mubarak , ary dia lasa antsoina hoe #muBARTek |
13 | Ahmed Kamal added: | Nanampy i Ahmed Kamal: |
14 | #opBART This hashtag is going to trend and nobody's writing on it except Egyptians. | #opBART io tenifototra io no ironan'ny besinimaro ary tsy manoratra amin'io afa-tsy ny Ejipsiana ihany. |
15 | A good morning for laughter :D | Fiarahabana maraina ho fihomehezana ? |
16 | @magyj compared the media coverage of BART protests with the Egyptian state media's coverage in January: | @magyj nampitaha ny fitantaran'ny fampahalalam-baovao ny fihetsiketseham-panoherana ny ataon'ny BART sy ny nataon'ny haino aman-jerim-panjakana Ejipsiana tamin'ny Janoary: |
17 | #OPBart there is nothing on CNN about #SanFran !!! | #OPBart tsy misy na inona na inona mandeha ao amin'ny CNN momba ny tao #SanFran !!! |
18 | It's look like z Egyptian media on #jan25 #MuBARTek | Mitovy amin'ny fampitam-baovao Ejipsiana tamin'ny #jan25 #MuBARTek |
19 | Adding humor to the conversation, Gigi Ibrahim (@GSquare86) noted Mubarak's role: | Ho fanasian-tsira [kivazivazy] kely ny resaka nanamarika ny anjara toeran'i Mubarak i Gigi Ibrahim (@GSquare86) : |
20 | Mubarak's great achievement: a new verb “To Mubarak” to the english dictionary meaning to oppress&cut communication on ppl #MuBARTek #opBART | Zavabita lehibe nataon'i Mubarak: nampiditra ny enti-milaza “mi-mubarak” tao amin'ny rakibolana anglisy midika hoe manindry sy manapaka ny fifandraisan'ny olona #MuBARTek #opBART |
21 | In response to @3arabawy jokingly asking if Egyptian mobile provider Mobinil had networks in San Francisco, @SalmaNoshokaty referenced another network's famous gaffe remarking, “In light of recent events, I am almost sure @VodafoneEgypt does!” | Ho valin'ny fanontanian'i @3arabawy miaraka amin'ny hanihany raha toa manana tambazotra any San Francisco ny mpanome tolotra finday ejipsiana Mobinil, I @SalmaNoshokaty no nanamarika ny gafin'ny orinasam-pinday hafa malaza, “Ho fanazavana ny zava-nitranga farany, matoky aho fa manana i @VodafoneEgypt !” |
22 | From the US, Zeynep Tufekci (@techsoc) quipped: | Avy any Etazonia i Zeynep Tufekci (@techsoc) mamazivazy: |
23 | Next, BART will send camels and thugs to Embarcadero Station. | Amin'ny manaraka ny BART handefa rameva sy jiolahimboto ao amin'ny garan'i Embarcadero. |

25 | She added: | Nampiany: |
26 | BART decides to recklessly, needlessly & possibly illegally shut down cell service & then overreacts to the reaction? | Nanapa-kevitra tsy amin'ahiahy amin'ny tsy misy dikany ary amin'ny fandikan-dalàna ny BART hanakatona ny fampiasana finday ary dia mamaly tafahoatra ny fihetseham-pon'ny olona avy eo? |
27 | Brilliant. | Mamirapiratra e. |

30 | @techsoc Once again, we need to criminalize blocking access to mobile and wireless communications #OpBart #FreeSpeech | @techsoc Averina indray, ilainay hatao ho heloka bevava ny fanakanana ny fifandraisana an-tserasera sy ny finday #OpBart #FreeSpeech |
