1 | Mauritania: Anger at Foreign Minister's Support for Assad | Maoritania: Hatezerana Amin'ny Fanohanan'ny Minisitry ny Raharaham-bahiny an'i Assad |
2 | A speech that the Mauritanian foreign minister Hamadi Ould Hamadi [fr] made at the latest Friends of Syria conference has angered Mauritanian activists. | Nahatezitra ireo mafana fo Maoritaniana ny kabary nataon'ny minisitry ny raharaham-bahiny Maoritaniana Hamadi Ould Hamadi [fr] nandritra ny fivoriana farany an'ny Naman'i Siria. |
3 | In his speech at the conference, which took place in Paris on July 6, the minister said that what was happening in Syria was “violence and counterviolence”. | Tamin'ny kabariny tao aamin'io fivoriana io, izay natao tany Paris tamin'ny 6 Jolay, nilaza ny minisitra fa “herisetra sy valin-kerisetra” no zava-niseho tany Siria. |
4 | This was considered by many to express support for Bashar Al Assad's regime, and tweets as well as angry, satirical videos circulated, criticising the minister and apologising to the Syrian people and the Syrian revolution. | Maro ny nandray izany ho fanohanana ny fitondràn'i Bashar Al Assad, ary niparitaka ny bitska tezitra, ny lahatsary manesoeso, mitsikera ny minisitra sy miala tsiny amin'ireo vahoaka Siriana ary ny revolisiona Siriana. |
5 | It should be noted that this stance of the Mauritanian regime, in support of other regimes facing demands for their fall, is not new. | Tsara homarihina fa tsy vaovao izao toetran'ny fitondràna Maoritaniana manohana ireo fitondràna hafa miatrika fitakiana fanonganana izao. |
6 | The Mauritanian regime has previously supported the regime of Ivorian president Laurent Gbagbo and the deposed Libyan president Muammar Gaddafi, in addition to the regimes of Zine El Abidine Ben Ali and Hosni Mubarak. | Teo aloha ny fitondràna Maoritaniana dia nanohana ny fitondràna Ivoariana notarihin'ny filoha Laurent Gbagbo sy ilay filoha Libiana voaongana Muammar Gaddafi, ary fanampiny koa ny fitondràn'i Zine El Abidine Ben Ali sy Hosni Mubarak. |
7 | A number of rallies have already taken place in Mauritania demanding that the regime expel the Syrian ambassador from Nouakchott and cut diplomatic relations with Bashar Al Assad's regime. | Fihetsiketsehana maro no efa natao tany Maoritania mangataka ny fandroahana ny masoivoho Siriana avy any Nouakchott sy ny fampiatoana ny fifandraisana diplomatika amin'ny fitondràn'i Bashar Al Assad. |
8 | “I am Mauritanian and this person does not represent me.” | “Maoritaniana aho ary ity olona ity tsy misolo tena ahy.” |
9 | Photoshopped image of Mauritanian foreign minister, posted by Twitter user @moctarmm. | Sary namboarina mampiseho ny minisitry ny raharaham-bahiny Maoritaniana, navoakan'ny mpampiasa Twitter @moctarmm. |
10 | The page Mauritanie Demain made a satirical video using the minister's speech, altering the original footage and distorting the minister's words. | Ny pejy Mauritanie Demain dia nanao lahatsary manesoeso ka nampiasa ny kabarin'ny minisitra, nanimba ny lahatsary tam-boalohany ka nanova ny tenin'ny minisitra. |
11 | In it the minister says that the reason for Mauritania's support for the Syrian regime is that Iran paid Mauritanian president Brigadier General Mohammed Ould Abdel Aziz to support Bashar Al Assad. | Ao anatin'izany ny minisitra dia milaza fa ny antony nanohanan'ny Maoritania ny fitondràna Siriana dia satria nokaraman'Iran ny filoha Maoritaniana Brigadie Jeneraly Mohammed Ould Abdel Aziz hanohana an'i Bashar Al Assad. |
12 | The Mauritanian activist Tah Ould Habib criticised the foreign minister's speech: | Tah Ould Habib, Maoritaniana mafana fo dia nitsikera ny kabarin'ny minisitry ny raharaham-bahiny: |
13 | Hamadi Ould Hamadi doesn't even represent himself, he only represents General Aziz. | Tsy mahasolo ny tenany akory aza i Hamadi Ould Hamadi, fa misolo tena fotsiny ny Jeneraly Aziz. |
14 | Activist Ahmed Abdallah commented in the same vein: | Naneho hevitra tsy mifanalavitra amin'izany ilay mafana fo, Ahmed Abdallah: |
15 | I am a Mauritanian and I support the great Syrian revolution… This ugly person does not represent me… He only represents the tyrant general | Maoritaniana aho ary manohana ny revolisiona Siriana lehibe… Tsy misolo tena ahy io olona mahatsiravina io… Fa misolo tena ilay jeneraly mpampijaly |
16 | And Elghoutoub Ould Mohammed Moloud wrote: | Ary i Elghoutoub Ould Mohammed Moloud dia nanoratra hoe: |
17 | May I have nothing to do with what the foreign minister said… Tyrants are one community… Down with the general… Down with Bashar… | Tsy misy idirako amin'ny zavatra nolazain'ny minisitry ny raharaham-bahiny… Iray tarika ihany ireo mpampijaly… Aongàny ny jeneraly… Aongàny Bashar… |
18 | In his turn, the Saudi journalist Jamal Khashoggi commented: | Tsy very anjara koa Jamal Khashoggi, mpanao gazety Saodiana, fa naneho hevitra: |
19 | Mauritania is a strange country. | Firenena hafahafa i Maoritania. |
20 | In the period preceding the Arab Spring it opened an office to liaise with Israel, and after the Arab Spring it takes a side and “understands” the position of the Syrian regime! | Tamin'ny fotoana nialoha ny Lohataona Arabo dia nahita làlana hiarahana amin'Isiraely izy, ary taorian'ny Lohataona Arabo dia nifindra toerana ka “mahatakatra” ny toerana misy ny fitondràna Siriana! |
