1Trinidad & Tobago: No Simple HighwayTrinidad & Tobago: Tsy Misy Làlambe Vita Mora
2University lecturer and environmentalist Dr. Wayne Kublalsingh, who began his hunger strike on November 15 outside the Prime Minister's office as a protest against the construction of one part of a billion dollar highway project in southeastern Trinidad, has the blogosphere talking about much more than a road - many netizens see his dissidence as a plea for transparency in the use of public funds and a demonstration against the cavalier manner in which the electorate's concerns are managed by those in public office.Dr. Wayne Kublalsingh, mpampianatra eny amin'ny oniversite sady mpandala ny tontolo iainana, izay nanomboka ny fitokonany tsy hisakafo ny 15 Novambra teo ivelan'ny biraon'ny Praiminisitra ho fanoherana tetikasa fanamboarana làlam-be migodana, ampahany iray any atsimo atsinanan'i Trinidad, izay handaniana vola iray lavitrisa dolara, dia manana bilaogy milaza zavatra maro ankoatra ny làlana- fihokoana ho fitakiana ny mangarahara amin'ny fampiasana ny volam-bahoaka sy hetsika manohitra ireo fomba mahamenatra izay hifehezan'ireo ao amin'ny fanjakana ny ahiahin'ireo mpifidy no ahitan'ireo mpiserasera amin'ny aterineto maro izany.
3Guanaguanare is saddened by how the whole drama appears to be playing out:Nalahelo ny amin'ny fomba nilalaovana ilay loza i Guanaguanare :
4I do not want Dr. Wayne Kublalsingh to leave us now, and certainly not for citizens who are not sufficiently compelled to take care of their own business and judging by the online comments, many others who intend not to remember his ultimate sacrifice past this Christmas season.Tsy tiako ny handaozan'i Dr. Wayne Kublalsingh anay amin'izao, fa indrindra indrindra ho an'ireo vahoaka izay tsy mbola afaka miahy ny fiainany manokana sy raha tsaraina amin'ny fanehoankevitra ety amin'ny aterineto, maro ireo izay tsy te-hahatsiaro ny sorona nataony aorinan'izao vanim-potoan'ny Noely izao.
5I want Dr. Kublalsingh to continue to live and fight for his country.Tiako mbola hitohy ho velona sy hiady ho an'ny fireneny Dr. Kublalsingh.
6This world is overrun by the ignorant, the crass and the ignoble and I seriously doubt that his death will have any impact on the jaded and spiritually dead.Feno olona tsy mivaky loha, adala ary tsy mendrika ity tany ity ary manahy mafy aho fa ny fahafatesany dia tsy hisy fiantraikany any amin'ireo mandreraka sy maty fanahy ireo.
7I am ashamed to have concluded that in this valley of death where life is cheap another person's demise will not provide the much needed tipping point.Menatra aho namarana fa ao anatin'io lohasahan'ny fahafatesana izay maha-mora vidy ny aina io, tsy nitondra akory izay zavatra tena nilaina ny fahalasanan'ny olona iray hafa.
8Dr. Wayne Kublalsingh talks with lawyer Gillian Lucky.Dr. Wayne Kublalsingh miresaka amin'ny mpisolovava Gillian Lucky.
9He may be right.Mety ho marina ny azy.
10What many feel should have been a tipping point around which citizens could rally is, in some online forums at least, turning into a mockery.Izay tsapan'ny maro ho toy ny teboka tokony hihaonan'ny mponina dia, anatin'ireo seha-piresahana ety anaty aterineto fara-faharatsiny, nivadika ho fanesona.
11Fueled by the government's continuing efforts to humiliate the man and discredit his cause, one local radio station even posted a clearly photoshopped image of Dr. Kublalsingh sitting at a table in a fast food outlet.Atosiky ny ezaka mitohy ataon'ny governemanta hanambaniana ilay olona sy hanamaivànana ny tolony, misy fampielezampeo iray ao an-toerana nandefa sary namboarina tamin'ny photoshop misy an'i Dr. Kublalsingh eo ambony latabatra ao amin'ny trano fisakafoanana iray.
12Addressing these types of mean-spirited pranks in another post, the blogger adds:Nanampy lahatsoratra hafa ilay bilaogera hitenenana an'ireny karazana sangy ratsy tsy misy fanahy ireny :
13I was among those who, valuing Dr. Kublalsingh's life more than this country, more than this cause…more than my beautiful and sometimes ugly countrymen, more than this government, urged him to let this cup pass from him.Izaho dia isan'ireo izay nametraka ny ain'i Dr. Kublalsingh ho ambony noho ity firenena ity, ambony noho ity resaka ity… ambony noho ireo mpiray tanindrazana amiko mahafinaritra na mahasosotra indraindray, ambony noho ity governemanta ity, nanery azy hanàla io kapoakany io ho lavitra azy.
14But perhaps being more optimistic, more hopeful and more generous than even those who love him and certainly more than those who continue to deride and dismiss him, he put our concerns aside and persevered patiently with his lesson.Fa angamba amin'ny maha-mpijery ny lafitsaram-piainana kokoa, be fanantenana kokoa ary be fiantrana kokoa noho ireo izay tia azy ary indrindra ambony noho ireo izay maneso sy mandà azy, dia nahilina ho eny anjorony ny ahiahintsika ary nitohy niaritra tamim-paharetana tamin'ny lesony izy.
15He has reminded me that although this is what we have come to accept as normal, it is unnatural, if not calamitous for any man to believe that he has an existence separate from his country, from just causes…from his countrymen and from his government.Nampahatsiahiviny ahy fa na dia izao aza no nekentsika hatrizay ho toy ny ara-dalàna dia tsy ara-dalàna, raha tsy izany dia zava-doza ho an'ny olona tsirairay ny mino fa tsy misy ifamatorany amin'ny firenena ny fisiany, na aminà antony marina… amin'ny mpiray firenena ary amin'ny mpitondra.
16In this ‘eat ah food' world, he has done the unthinkable and little wonder then that the shock of it all has thrown many into disarray and has caused some of us in high and low places to retreat to the usual refuges of cynicism, disrespect, vitriole, puerile humour and callousness.Amin'ity tontolon'ny ‘hano ny hanina' ity, dia nanatanteraka zavatra kely tsy azo sainina sy mahagaga izy ary avy eo nanakorontana zavatra maro ilay dona ka nahatonga ny sasany tamintsika izay amin'ny toerana ambony sy ambany hiala amin'ny fialokalofana ratsiny, tsy fanajàna, fandravàna, tsy fahamatorana sy ny hamafisam-po.
17In turning his back on the opiate of the ubiquitous pot of pelau, he has threatened to drag us also from the warm comfort of that prison of belly full and asked us to reflect upon other forms of nourishment of which we have been starved.Amin'ny fanomezany lamosina ny rongonin'ny sakafo mafilotra iray lovia hita eny rehetra eny, dia mandrahona ny hitarika antsika hiala amin'ny toerana mafana tsaran'ny kibo voky izy no sady miangavy antsika mba hijery ireo karazan-tsakafo hafa izay naha-mosarena anay.
18Thank you, Dr. Kublalsingh for allowing the nation once again to witness that the truth means NOTHING to many.Misaotra anao ry Dr. Kublalsingh tamin'ny namelànao ny firenena ho vavolombelona manatri-maso fa TSY MISY DIKANY amin'ny maro ny fahamarinana.
19Not only will they avoid it to save their skins and that of their cohorts but they will avoid it even when a fellow citizen's life is on the line.Tsy hoe ialàny fotsiny io mba hanavotany ny ainy sy ireo miaraka aminy fa hialàny io na dia efa ambivitra aza ny ain'ny mpiara-belona aminy.
20They will avoid it in the quiet of their own consciences and they will ineluctably avoid it even when the whole interested world's gaze is upon them.Ialàn-dry zareo tsy amin'ahiahy io ary tsy azo ialàna ny hisorohan-dry zareo an'io rehefa liana mibanjina any aminy ny mason'izao tontolo izao.
21kid5rivers has a different point of view:kid5rivers dia manana fomba fijery hafa :
22What Dr Kublalsingh was saying then is, no matter what, concerning the issue he and his Reroute Group raised, it was their way, or the highway: the project must be stopped!Izay tian'i Dr Kublalsingh nolazaina izany dia, tsy olana loatra hoe inona, mikasika ilay resaka navoitrany sy ny Vondrona Reroute miaraka aminy, ny làlan-dry zareo, na ny làlam-beny : tsy maintsy hajanona ilay tetikasa!
23In other words, he and his group were prepared to enter negotiations with the Prime Minister or any government official, only on the implacable ground that they were not going to yield or give any quarter to the government…in short, any continued discussion or negotiations they'd have with anyone, would be shallow and merely for show.Raha lazaina amin'ny fomba hafa dia vonona hiresaka amin'ny Praiminisitra na olon-kafa ao amin'ny governemanta izy sy ny vondrona miaraka aminy, mikasika monja ny kianja izay tsy andeferany na hanomezana fitsaharana ny governemanta… raha fintinina izany , ny ady hevitra rehetra na ny resaka mitohy rehetra nataon-dry zareo taman'olona dia sarintsariny sy fihetsiketsehana fotsiny ihany.
24To the contrary, the Facebook page of the Highway Re-Route Movement, which is the lobby group that Dr. Kublalsingh represents, posted a note late yesterday that is very clear about its intentions:Mifanohitra amin'izany, ny pejin'ny Facebook-n'ny Highway Re-Route Movement, izay vondrona soloan'i Dr. Kublalsingh tena, dia namoaka lahatsoratra omaly hariva be izay mazava tsara mikasika ny tiany hatao :
25The Highway Re-Route Movement (HRM) has always been, and is, in favor of the construction of the San Fernando to Point Fortin highway.Ny Highway Re-Route Movement (HRM) dia nanohana hatrany, manohana, ny fanamboarana làlam-be avy any San Fernando mankany Point Fortin.
26However, the HRM has difficulty with the Debe to Mon Desir link to the main highway which will push through the Oropuche Lagoon.Na dia izany aza, manana olana ny HRM amin'ny fampifandraisana an'i Debe amin'ny làlan'i Mon Desir mamonjy ny arabe izay mankany Oropuche Lagoon.
27It is this particular segment of the highway for which they recommended a substantive review including a social impact assessment, a hydrological study, and a cost-benefit analysis of the proposed construction.Io ampahan-dàlana io no angatahan-dry zareo famerenana fanadihadiana lalina miaraka amin'ny vinavina ny amin'izay mety ho fiantraikany amin'ny lafiny sosialy, ny famakafakana ny momba ny rano, fanadihadiana ny sandany / tombontsoa azo amin'ilay asa fanorenana.
28A review of these proposed works by an Independent body is what had been requested, and was agreed to by the Prime Minister.Fanadihadiana ireo asa natolotra ireo, hataonà vondrona tsy miankina no nangatahana , ary neken'ny Praiminisitra.
29On March 16th 2012, the Prime Minister met with the HRM led by Dr Kublalsingh, and by calling for a halt on all construction and a technical review, acknowledged that there were legitimate technical concerns that needed to be addressed.Nivory niaraka tamin'ny HRM tarihan'i Dr Kublalsingh ny Praiminisitra ny faha 16 Martsa 2012, niaraka tamin'ny fangatahana ny fampiatoana ny asa fanamboarana rehetra sy ny fanadihadiana ara-teknika, amin'ny fahafantarana fa misy olana ara-teknika izay ilàna famahàna.
30Today, Dr Kublalsingh is on the 13th day of the hunger strike, to protest the Government's failure to provide the independent review.Andro faha-13 nitokonan'i Dr Kublalsingh tsy hisakafo ho fanoherana ny tsy netezan'ny Governemanta hanao ilay fanadihadiana tsy miankina, androany.
31The HRM was subsequently called to two meetings.Nantsoina hamonjy fivoriana roa mikasika izay ny HRM.
32At the first meeting, the HRM was prevented from bringing their own technical team to meet with the Government's technical team and it is because of this that the HRM left the meeting.Tamin'ny fivoriana voalohany, dia noferana tsy hitondra ny ekipa tekinikany hifanehatra amin'ny ekipa tekinikan'ny Governemanta ny HRM ary io no antony nampisintaka ny HRM.
33At the second meeting the HRM was given a five-page document with photographs and one-line statements.Tamin'ny fivoriana faharoa dia nomena taratasy 5 pejy misy sary sy fanambaràna iray andalana ny HRM.
34At no stage have the technical reports been produced in the areas of hydrology, enviroinmental and social impact, or cost benefit.Na inona na inona tamin'ny zavatra natao, dia tsy nahitana tatitra momba ny rano, ny fiantraikany amin'ny tontolo iainana sy ny sosialy, na ny tombontsoa.
35Although construction works were slowed for a while it has never stopped.Na dia nisy fotoana aza nalefa miadana ny fananganana aza, tsy mbola nijanona mihitsy io .
36The Government claims to have satisfied the promise of the technical review.Nanamafy ny Governemanta fa hoe nanome valiny ny fampanantenana hisian'ny fanadihadiana ara-tekinika.
37The HRM has called the process a farce and a public relations gimmick.Ny HRM kosa dia nilaza io fomba io ho lainga sy fandrebirebam-bahoaka.
38kid5rivers maintains that:kid5rivers dia manohana fa :
39The hardheaded, bigoted, self-righteous approach has no relevance in the modern-day arrangements of governance, policy-making, negotiations and societal interaction.Ny fifanatonana amin'ny hamafisan-doha, tsy mandefitra, fanamarinan-tena dia tsy misy lanjany amin'ny fifandaminana amin'ny fitantanana, fanaovana politika, ny fifampiraharahana sy ny fiaraha-miasa ara-tsosialy amin'izao fotoana moderina izao.
40In the end, in fact, throughout, such bigotry contaminates to the extent where the wounds inflicted never heal.Amin'ny farany, raha ny marina, n'aiza n'aiza, ny tsy fandeferana tahaka izany dia mankarary hatrany amin'ny ambaratonga izay tsy hikatonan'ny fery intsony.
41Having observed the retrogressively-mutating charades of Dr Kublalsingh regarding the construction of the Point Fortin Highway, I cannot endorse his fast.Raha manao jery todika ireo karazana faminavinàna nataon'i Dr Kublalsingh momba ny fanamboarana ny Lalàm-ben'i Point Fortin, dia tsy afaka hanaiky io fifadian-kanina ataony io aho.
42Dr. Wayne Kublalsingh attempts to get up during his hunger strike.Manandrana mijoro Dr. Wayne Kublalsingh mandritra ny fitokonany tsy hisakafo.
43The Highway Re-Route Movement's response?Ny valintenin'ny Highway Re-Route Movement?
44After years of writing letters, placarding, campaigning, camping on the site, being arrested, and witnessing the Prime Minister renege on her commitment, Dr Kublalsingh has embarked on a hunger strike, eating no food and drinking no water.Taona maro aty aorian'ny nanoratana, nanaovana peta-drindrina, nanaovana fanentanana, nitoerana teo amin'ilay toerana, naha-voasambotra, ary naha-vavolombelon'ny nandavan'ny Praiminisitra ny teniny, dia nandroso tamin'ny fitokonana tsy hisakafo tsy mihinan-kanina sy tsy misotro rano ny Dr Kublalsingh.
45As at November 27th, Dr Kublalsingh would not have had any food to eat or water to drink for 13 days.Tsy nihinana na nisotro nandritra ny 13 andro ny Dr Kublalsingh nanomboka tamin'ny 27 Novambra.
46The health and potentially the life of Dr. Kublalsingh remains significantly at risk.Atahorana ny fahasalamana sy ny ain'i Dr. Kublalsingh.
47Via the United Voice blog, which is known for being sympathetic to the current administration, a supporter “of the proposed highway from San Fernando to Point Fortin since it was first announced by Dr. Eric Williams in his Budget Speech of January 1981″ wonders whether Dr. Kublalsingh's hunger strike “has given him the attention he had not been getting up to now”:Amin'ny alàlan'ny United Voice blog na feon'ny bilaogy miray, izay fantatra fa miara-dia amin'ny fitantanana ankehitriny, nanontany tena ny mpanohana iray an'ilay ‘ soso-kevitra làlam-be avy any San Fernando mankany Point Fortin, nanomboka tamin'ny nilazan'i Dr. Eric Williams azy voalohany tamin'ny Kabary nataony momba ny Tetibola ny volana Janoary 1981″ dia raha toa ka “nanaitra ny fifantohan-tsaina tsy nanànany hatramin'izao” io fitokonan'i Dr Kublalsingh tsy hisakafo io :
48Dr. Kublalsingh had engaged in popular and successful protest actions against the proposed smelters and other projects.Nandray anjara tamina hetsika malaza sy nahomby nanoherana ny fananganana fandrendreha-by sy tetikasa hafa i Dr. Kublalsingh.
49Could it be his hubris now that is causing him to take action in a cause that is clearly lost?Mety ho ny hambom-po ve no mahatonga azy amin'izao fotoana izao handray fepetra amin'ny resaka izay fantatra fa tsy hanjary ?
50It is noteworthy that although Dr. Kublalsingh does not reside in the area, none of the people who do have decided to join him in his hunger strike.Tsara marihana fa na dia tsy mipetraka any amin'ny faritra iny aza Dr. Kublalsingh, dia tsy misy olona nanapa-kevitra ny hanaraka azy amin'ny fitokonany tsy hisakafo.
51Should he not survive his self-inflicted torture, will they will take their ‘settlement' and move on?Raha tsy mivoaka velona amin'ny fampijaliany tena izy, hitady ‘vahaolana' sy hiroso hatrany ve izy ireo ?
52The same blog posted this contrasting perspective in an open letter to the Prime Minister:Namoaka ity fifanoheran-kevitra ity tamin'ny taratasy misokatra ho an'ny Praiminisitra io bilaogy io :
53A PM is first and foremost a leader, and empathy and magnanimity are key qualities of a high performance leader.Voalohany indrindra dia mpitarika ny PM, ny fahalalàna ny hevitry ny olona sy fanehoana fitserana dia toetra tsara fanalahidin'ny mpitarika ambony iray.
54Empathy means placing yourself in the shoes of citizens to understand where they are coming from…and why.Ny fahalalàna ny hevitry ny olona dia midika ho fipetrahana amin'ny toeran'ny vahoaka ny toerana niaviany… sy ny antony.
55A PM must be magnanimous and show care and understanding even if she feels the person is wrong or misguided.Ny PM tsy maintsy mitsetra sy maneho fiahiana ary mahatakatra na dia tsapany aza fa nanao hadisoana ny olona iray.
56This is what effective leadership is about.Izany no atao hoe mpitarika mahomby.
57The argument that fasting by one prominent citizen will lead to copycat action is flawed.Diso ny fiheverana ny fifadian-kanin'ny olona manan-danja iray hitondra ho any amin'ny fakàn-tàhaka be fahatany.
58You need to be a good manager and manage well this fasting issue.Ilaina ho mpitantana tsara ianao ary mahafehy tsara io resaka fifadian-kanina io.
59Laughing or scoffing and telling him to listen to elders is not the answer.Tsy vahaolana ny fihomehezana na ny fanesoana sy ny fitenenana azy mba hihaino ireo zokiolona.
60If Kublalsingh dies, your government will most likely fall as it will be extremely difficult to govern!Raha maty i Kublalsingh, hiongana ny governemantanareo satria ho sarotra ny mitantana azy!
61Out of sheer political survival, you need to make sure that he stays alive.Ivelan'ny fahavelomana ara-politika, ilainareo ny mahazo antoka fa velona izy.
62So, dear Prime Minister, reroute yourself…and make sure that the man does not die…and if you did give your word to the group, honour your commitment.Noho izany, ry Prayminisitra malala, miverena… ary ataovy izay hahazoana antoka fa tsy ho faty io olona io… ary raha niteny tamin'ireo mpanara-dia anao ianao, hajao ny teninao.
63An effective leader's word is a key element of trust.Ny teny mahomby avy amin'ny mpitarika dia fanalahidin'ny fahatokiana.
64A Nation needs to be assured that it can trust its Prime Minister.Mila mahazo antoka fa matoky ny Praiminisitrany ny Firenena iray.
65A supporter of Dr. Kublalsingh holds a placard outside the Prime Minister's office.Mpanohana an'i Dr. Kublalsingh iray mitàna sora-baventy eo ivelan'ny biraon'ny Praiminisitra.
66Political blogger The Eternal Pantomime has been supporting Dr. Kublalsingh from the outset.Ilay bilaogera miresaka politika The Eternal Pantomime dia nanohana an'i Dr. Kublalsingh hatrany am-boalohany.
67Here, she republishes what the Leader of the Opposition had to say about the issue and here, hosts a guest column by a blogger who is “a native of the area under the direct orbit of the Debe - Mon Desir stretch [of proposed highway]:Eto, no amoahany indray ny tenin'ny Filohan'ny Mpanohitra momba ilay resaka ary eto,no andraisany lahatsoratry ny vahininy iray, bilaogera izay ‘teratany avy amin'ilay faritra ambanin'ny orbitan'i Debe mivantana - sampanan'i Mon Desir [amin'ilay tetikasa fanamboaran-dàlam-be]:
68Let me make it unequivocally clear to all and sundry that I WANT that stretch.Avelao aho hanazava amin'ny rehetra fa IRIKO io ampahan-dalana io.
69I want if BADLY.Iriko FATRATRA io.
70The ability to drive to Port-of-Spain without passing on the South Trunk Road will make sense only to those of us who have lived with the increasing burden of traffic along that road.Ny fahafahana mitondra fiara ho any Port-of Spain tsy mandalo amin'ny South Trunk Road dia misy dikany ho an'ireo sasany amintsika izay niaina niaraka tamin'ny enta-mavesatry ny fitohanana manerana iny lalana iny.
71I also wish to make it unequivocally clear that while I want the Debe - Mon Desir stretch, I remain resolutely opposed to the secrecy, nepotism, and corruption that seems to be part of the mix right now.Mbola tiako hazavaina ihany koa fa na dia tiako aza ny sampanan-dàlana Debe-Mon Desir, dia toheriko hatrany ny kiafinafina, ny kiantranoantrano, ary ny kolikoly izay hita taratra efa mifangaro ao amin'izao.
72Unconfirmed figures are popping up on facebook that seem to suggest that the cost per mile to build that stretch is way above and beyond anything that obtains anywhere else in the world.Misy isa tsy voamarina miparitaka amin'ny facebook izay tahàka ny maminavina fa ny tombam-bidin'ny mailo iray amin'ny fanamboarana io ampahan-dàlana io dia ambony sady mihoatra lavitr'izay rehetra azo n'aiza n'aiza eto amin'izao tontolo izao.
73If at the end of it all, this issue of cost is not interrogated, we would have missed a major opportunity to continue the process of fighting back against the systemic corruption that has bedeviled all admininstrations of this country and kept us back from being the leading beacon in the WORLD that we can be.Raha tonga any amin'ny faran'ny zavatra rehetra, ka tsy nametraham-panontaniana io resaka tombam-bidy io, dia very sehatra lehibe iray hanozihann ny làlana iadiana amin'ny kolikoly raiki-tampisaka izay manapoizina ny fitantanana rehetra eto amin'ity firenena ity ary sakanantsika ny haha-lohalaharan antsika eto amin'IZAO TONTOLO IZAO izay azontsika atao tsara.
74Can we use this Highway impasse as another opportunity to interrogate ourselves as a country and start holding our leaders to a higher standard??Azontsika ampiasaina ho toy nu fotoana iray fanararaotra ve io làlana tsy misy fiafaràna io mba handinihantsika ny tenantsika ho toy ny firenena iray sy hanombohana hametrahana ireo mpitarika antsika ho amin'ny toerana ambonimbony kokoa ??
75That may be the very question that Dr. Kublalsingh wants answered.Ireo angamba no fanontaniana izay tian'i Dr. Kublalsingh valiana.
