6 | This color evokes courage. | Maneho herimpo ity loko ity. |
7 | This constitutional revisions by President Boni Yayi is opportunistic and doesn't include under any circumstance the interests of the people. | Mampiseho endrika fanararaotana ity fanitsiana lalàpanorenana ataon'ny Filoha President Boni Yayi ity fa tsy mba misy tombotsoam-bahoaka. |

13 | The revision of the Beninese constitution submitted in April 2013 calls for, among other things, the creation of a Court of Accounts, the initiation of laws by the people, the institutionalization of the National Autonomous Electoral Commission (CENA) or still the limitations of economic crimes. | Nahazoan-dalàna ny sary Ny fanitsiana lalàpanorenana Beninoà nampahafantarina tamin'ny volana Aprily 2013 dia ahitana, fananganana Fitsarana ara-bola, volavolan-dalàna avy amin'ny vahoaka, fametrahana Vaomiera Mahaleotena misahana ny fifidianana (CENA) na koa famaritana ny heloka ara-toekarena. |
14 | The revised constitution would also allow the president to run one more time for president. | Mamela ny filoha hirotsaka hofidiana filoham-pirenena indray ihany koa ilay lalàpanorenana nasia-panitsiana. |
15 | Born on Facebook [fr], the movement has begun to amplify on the streets of the country. | Teraka tao amin'ny Facebook [fr], nanomboka nahazo vahana teny andalambe ao amin'ny firenena ihany koa ny hetsika. |
16 | T-shirt, pants, scarf, red caps, all the means are good to sustain the movement. | T-shirt, pataloha, fehin-tenda, satroka mena, tsara avokoa izay loko mena rehetra eny an-koditra hoentina hanohanana ny hetsika. |
17 | According to the previous Communication Minister Gaston Zossou [fr], this movement is not liked by the Boni Yayi administration as Zossou says on his Facebook account that his home was encircled by police officers on August 1, 2013, the country's independence day, to keep him from going to join the Red Wednesday protesters. | Araka ny filazan'ny Minisitry ny Serasera teo aloha Gaston Zossou [fr], tsy laitran'ny vavonin'ny fitantanan'i Boni Yayi ity hetsika ity. Araka ny nosoratan'i Zossou tao amin'ny kaonty Facebook-ny, voahodidina polisy ny trano fonenany tamin'ny 1 Aogositra 2013, fetin'ny fahaleovantena tao amin'ny firenena, mba hiambenana azy tsy handeha hamonjy ireo mpanao fihetsiketsehana Alarobia Mena. |

20 | However, this movement is far from creating unanimity. | Na dia izany aza, mbola ho ela vao hiray hevitra amin'ity hetsika ity ny rehetra. |
21 | On one side, some question the good faith of the principle actors of the movement, such as Joseph Djogbenou, suspected of manipulating the cause with the support of businessman Patrice Talon, who is the the attorney in the case of the attempted poisoning of the head of state [fr]. | Etsy andaniny, misy ireo misalasala momba ny fahatsoran'ireo lohandohany mpitarika ny hetsika, ohatra i Joseph Djogbenou, izay ahiahiana mampiasa ny hetsika miaraka amin'ny fanohanan'ilay mpandraharaha Patrice Talon, izay mpisolovava amin'ilay raharaha fikasana hanapoizina ny filoham-pirenena [fr]. |
22 | And equally Gaston Zossou who blogger Alberic Gandonou qualified as the “transgressor that deceives the youth on the Internet.” | Ary koa i Gaston Zossou izay nosokajian'ilay bilaogera Alberic Gandonou ho “mpisoloky mandiso fanantenana ireo tanora ao amin'ny aterineto.” |
23 | According to Gandonou, the intentions of Zossou [fr] are far from uninteresting: | Araka ny fijerin'i Gandonou, tsy mba hahaliana mihitsy ny eritreritr'i Zossou [fr]: |
24 | Seeking publicity, Gaston Zossou, where the Beninese still recall in good faith his disastrous management of the GSM sectors and of the TITAN dossier when he was Communication Minister, is active on social networks notably Facebook where he leads an intellectual opposition based on his nostalgia for affairs of State. | Tsy manana izay mampalaza azy amin'izao fotoana i Gaston Zossou izay mbola tadidin'ireo Beninoà manana fahatsorana ny fitantanana mahatsiravina nataony teo amin'ny sehatry ny finday GSM sy ny raharaha TITAN fony izy mbola minisitry ny serasera, mavitrika ao amin'ny tambajotra sosialy izy indrindra ao amin'ny Facebook izay hanaovany fanentana-panoherana miorina amin'ny fahatsiarovany ny fanaovany raharaham-panjakana taloha. |
25 | He continues by saying that: | Hoy izy nanohy: |
26 | The police are right to keep a close watch on this to avoid that this kind of character doesn't lead the youth into a scandalous adventure. | Marina ny an'ny polisy izay niambina ny tranony mba hanakanana ity karazan'olona ity tsy hampidi-kizo ireo tanora. |
27 | Revelations that certainly have already incited defections, such as that of Andoche Amégnissè, a great activist known on social media for his engagement among the Red Wednesday activists. | Fanambarana izay efa niteraka fisintahana, tahaka an'i Andoche Amégnissè, mpikatroka goavana malaza ao amin'ny media sosialy amin'ny fahavitrihany amin'ny hetsika Alarobia Mena. |
28 | Secondly, the supporters of President Boni Yayi have imitated the movement and initiated the “White Friday” movement [fr]. | Faharoa, namaly ny hetsika ireo mpanohana ny filoha Boni Yayi ary namorona ny hetsika “Zoma Fotsy” [fr]. |
29 | The Minister of the Interior Benoît Dégla has declared [fr] that the “causes that defend the initiators of the Red Wednesday are not founded” and has qualified the movement as poison. | Nanambara [fr] ny minisitry ny Atitany Benoît Dégla fa “tsy mitombina ny zavatra arovan'ireo mpitarika ny hetsika Alarobia Mena” ary nanasokajy ny hetsika ho “fanapoizinana” izy: |
30 | The movement that leads the revolt is manipulated. | Misy teti-dratsy ny hetsika mitarika amin'ny fikomiana. |
31 | On social media, the supporters of Red Wednesday have decided to to dedicate a blog to Red Wednesday [fr]. | Tao amin'ny media sosialy, nanapa-kevitra hanangana bilaogy ho an'ny Alarobia Mena [fr] ireo mpanohana ny hetsika Alarobia mena. |
32 | The key words #mercredirouge and #patriotes229 also compile the advice and opinions of the participants in the movement: | Ahitana soso-kevitra sy hevitra avy amin'ireo mpandray anjara amin'ny hetsika ny teny ifankafantarana #patriotes229. |
33 | #BENIN The President prohibits wearing RED considering it part of the citizen movement of #MERCREDITROUGE# but he himself was wearing a Red tie. | #BENIN Noraràn'ny Filoha ny fitondrana fitafiana MENA amin'ny Hetsiky ny Olom-pirenena #MERCREDIROUGE# kanefa izy manokana aza manao kravato Mena. |
