1 | Senegal: The Protests Will be “Twitterized” | Sénégal : Novoizina Mafy Tao Amin'ny Twitter Ity Fihetsiketsehana Ity |
2 | On June 23, 2011, capital of Senegal, Dakar's streets were stormed by protesters. | Alakamisy 23 jona 2011, tototr'ireo mpanao fihetsiketsehana i Dakar. |
3 | Their goal: derail the electoral reform that would allow the election of the president with 25% of the votes in the first round and would also propose a dual ticket with a vice-president, much like the American electoral system. | Ny tanjon'izy ireo: ny tsy hahatanteraka ny fanavaozana ny lalàm-pifidianana izay azo andaniana ny filoha mahazo vato hatrany amin'ny 25% dieny amin'ny fiodinana voalohany sy manome soso-kevitra ny hisian'ny filoha lefitra toy ny an-dry zareo amerikana. |
4 | The protests succeeded [fr]. | Nahomby ry zareo. |
5 | If at first the main target of protesters was the National Assembly, mayhem proceeded to extend around the city of Dakar. | Raha ny lasibatra fototra ho an'ireo mpanao fihetsiketsehana dia ny Antenimieram-pirenena, sakoroka sy hatezerana no nihanaka tany amin'ny manodidina ny tanànan'i Dakar. |
6 | For nearly 12 hours, various clusters of protesters wreaked havoc across the peninsula of Cape Verde attacking different targets: the homes of influential figures of the Wade regime, the buildings of the national electrical company Sénélec, and the Hotel des Députés (House of the Representatives). | Nandritra ny efa ho 12 ora teo ho eo, faritra maro nisy an'ireo mpanao fihetsiketsehana no namafy fisavoritahana saiky tamin'ny faritra rehetra tao Cap Vert ary nikendry lasibatra samihafa: ny tranon'ireo olona manana ny toeranyeo amin'ny fitondràn'i Wade, ny tranoben'ny orinasa mpamatsy herinaratra, ny Sénélec, ny “Hôtel des Députés”. |
7 | The crowd particularly focused on Farba Senghor, seen as the “Minister of Propaganda” of President Wade: both his Dakar houses and his cars were burned. | Tena kinendrin'ireo vahoaka manokana nandritra izany i Farba Senghor, izy noheverina ho toy ny “minisitry ny fampielezan-kevitry” ny Filoha Wade: may avokoa ny tranony roa tao Dakar sy ny fiarany. |
8 | A YouTube video shows how Senghor had to flee his house, escorted by police: | Lahatsary iray ao amin'ny youtube no mampiseho ny fomba nitsoahan'i Senghor ny trano, narovan'ireo polisy. |
9 | Many more videos and photos were posted on the net of this hectic day from many angles. | Lahatsary sy saripika maro hafa no nalefa tao amin'ny aterineto mamehy io andro nafampàna io amin'ny lafiny maro. |
10 | The streets fell silent at 8pm; the last protesters gathered at the Central Police Station in Dakar to ask for the release of the leaders of the “Enough is Enough” [fr] movement who were arrested at the prior events. | |
11 | A YouTube video showed the testimony of Simon, one of the activists of the movement after his release. Final tally of the protests: 102 injured, including 13 policemen and two human rights activists. | Nangina ny arabe nony tamin'ny 8 ora alina: ny farany tamin'reio mpanao fihetsiketsehana dia namonjy ny Kaomisaria Foibe tao Dakar mba hanafaka ireo mpitarika ny hetsika Y'en A Marre voatàna vonjimaika nandritra ny hetsika ny omalin'io. |
12 | During the day, while members of the parliament were discussing the bill, reactions kept on coming on the web. | Lahatsary iray, nalefa ihany koa tao amin'ny Youtube, no nisy ny fijoroana vavolombelona nataon'i Simon, iray amin'ireo mpitolona avy amin'ilay hetsika, taorian'ny namotsorana azy. |
13 | Internet users were quick to ridicule that the first debate in the National Assembly about the bill was about the spelling errors in the bill. | |
14 | On Twitter, @ofalsen wrote [fr]: | Tombana: Naratra 102, ka polisy ny 13 ary mpiaro ny zon'olombelona ny roa. |
15 | @ofalsen: At the parliament, Iba Thier Thiam says when you are the present tense, you never follow it up with the conditional tense #ticketwade #senegal | Tamin'io andro io, raha teo ampandinihana ilay volavolan-dalàna ireo solombavam-bahoaka, niraraka ny kiana avy amin'ny lafy rehetra tao amin'ny aterineto. |
16 | The escalation of changes that were made because of pressure from the street has also been ridiculed. | Tonga dia nokianin'ny mpampiasa aterineto ho kidaladala avy hatrany ny adihevitra voalohany tao amin'ny Antenimieram-pirenena momba ireo hadisoan-tsipelina ao anatin'ilay volavolan-dalàna. |
17 | @FatCuriosita commented as follows [fr]: @FatCuriosita: It looks like an auction, 25% and they protest? | Ny ady varotra amin'ireo fanovàna izay nateraky ny tsindry teny an-dalambe dia nokianina ho kidaladala ihany koa. |
18 | How about 40%? Still unhappy? | Hoy i FatCuriosita mitondra fanamarihana: |
19 | OK for 50% but I cannot get any higher #ticketwade | |
20 | It was around 5pm that they officially announced the withdrawal of the proposed constitutional amendment. | Tamin'ny 5 ora hariva tany ho any no nambàra tamin'ny fomba ofisialy ny fisintonana ilay volavolam-panitsiana ny lalampanorenana. |
21 | While no one can deny that the street was able to bend the government, a phenomenon which some have called the “Peanut Revolution”, President Wade has stated that he withdrew the bill under pressure from religious leaders: | Na dia tsy misy afaka mandà aza fa hoe nahavita nampihemotra ny governemanta ny teny an-dalàmbe, izay efa sahin'ny sasany sahady nantsoina hoe ny revolisionan'ny voanjo, ny Filoha Wade dia nilaza fa nisintona ilay volavolan-dalàna noho ny faneren'ireo mpitarika ara-pivavahana. |
22 | @docboum: Wade said he withdrew it to please the religious leaders, yeah right ! | |
23 | Internet at the core of the protests | Ny Aterineto, ivon'ny fanetsehana |
24 | Throughout the events, the protesters have commented on the events using the hash tags #ticketwade, #kebutu and #TouchePasMaConstitution. | Nandritra ny fntsehana rehetra, ireo mpanao fihetsiketsehana dia nitondra fanamarihana momba ny hetsika tamin'ny #ticketwade sy ny #TouchePasMaConstitution. |
25 | Twitter was a tool that allowed people to follow the different events around Dakar and to organize the gathering of demonstrators outside the Central Police Station in the late evening. | Ny Twitter dia nahafahana nanaraka ireo hetsika samihafa tany amin'ny manodidinaan'i Dakar sy nahafahana namory ireo mpanao fihetsiketsehana teo anoloan'ny Kaomisaria Foibe ny hariva. |
26 | Twitter has also become a way to foil the strategy of the police who did everything to divide the mass protesters and isolate the different elements on the ground. | Araka izany ny Twitter dia lasa fomba andravàna ny tetikadin'ny polisy izay nanao ny fomba rehetra hizarazaràna ny olona sy hanokàna-monina ireo olona teny an-kianja. |
27 | Moreover, when a number of riots started in neighborhoods, Twitter warned the protesters of the arrival of the Mobile Intervention Group (GMI), the squad in charge of breaking up the protests. | Bebe kokoa noho izay, raha vaky ny korontana maro tany amin'ireo tanàna be mponina, twitter dia nahafahana niolaza mialoha tamin'ireo mpanao fihetsiketsehana ny fahatongavan'ny Groupe mobile d'intervention (GMI), andiany natokana handrava fihetsiketsehana. |
28 | Many people celebrated the success of the protests in various blogs and tweets. | Marobe izy ireo no nankalaza ny fahombiazan'ny fanentanana natao tamin'ny alalàn'ny bilaogy sy bitsika samihafa. |
29 | Nevertheless, although some continue to demand the resignation of President Wade, what remains of the protests now on the web are images of destruction. Still, the scars from the protests in the city were completely erased by the next morning. | Na izany aza, na mbola misy aza ireo sasany mangataka ny hialàn'ny filoha Wade, izay mbola mitoetra indrindra indrindra ao amin'ny aterineto, dia ny sarin'ny faharavàna… ary izany dia na efa voafafa tanteraka aza ireo takaitra tao an-tanàna ny ampitson'iny. |
