1 | Greece: Outcry over arms shipment to Israel | Gresy: fanoherana ny fitondrana fitaovam-piadiana ho an'Isiraely |
2 | With the war raging in Gaza, news reports earlier this month about the routing of an extraordinarily large shipment of arms from the United States to Israel through the private Greek port of Astakos caused an uproar among Greek bloggers. | @izao ady misy any Gaza izao dia nitroatra ny mitoraka blaogy grika noho ny vaovao nivoaka t@ ity volana ity nilaza fa nisy fitondrana fitaovam-piadiana maro dia maro avy any etazonia ho any isiraely nandalo tao @ seranan-tsambo tanan'olon-tsotra grika ao Astakos. |
3 | They used Twitter to investigate the matter and put pressure on the government to halt the transfer. | Nampiasa twitter ry zareo hanaovany famotorana sy hanerena ny governemanta grika hanakatso ny famatsiana ny fitaovam-piadiana. |
4 | Delivery of the munitions was suspended, just as the Greek government was coming under fire from opposition parties, and Amnesty International was calling for an arms embargo. | Naato ny fampitana ireo fitaovam-piadiana noho ny tifitifitra nataon'ny antoko mpanohitra ny fitondrana grika sy ny antson'ny Amnesty International handrara ny fanondranana ireo fitaovam-piadiana. |
5 | At first, official sources contested the story from the international news agency Reuters on January 9. But it was picked up by Twitter users and investigated after Indy.gr - an offshoot of the Indymedia Athens group - provided a translation of the article in Greek. | T@ voalohany, nanda ny vaovao notaterin'ny agence Reuters t@ 9 janoary ny loharanom-baovaon'ny fanjakana. Saingy efa azon'ny mampiasa twitter ny vaovao ary efa nanadihady, naka lahatsoratra nadika avy @ teny grika tao @ Indy.gr sampan'ny vondrom-baovao iray tsy miankina Indymedia Athens ry zareo. |
6 | The idea to organize an embargo of the port was proposed and widely “re-tweeted”: | Efa novolavolaina t@ alalan'ny twitter ny hevitra anaovana barazy eny @ seranan-tsambo: |
7 | itsomp: http://is.gd/f8Wa Can we organise an embargo of the port of Astakos? | itsomp: http://is.gd/f8Wa Afaka manao barazy ny seranan-tsambon'ny Astakos ve isika? ny sambo amerikanina sy israelianina ihany no sakanana |
8 | Only the US and Israeli ships… Some tweeted direct queries to the Greek foreign minister, whose web team is operating a Twitter account: | nandefa hafatra tany @ ministeran'ny raharaham-bahiny t@ alalan'ny twitter ny mpitoraka blaogy sasany satria misoratra anarana ao @ twitter ny ekipa misahana ny serasera ao @ ity minisitera ity: |
9 | Dora Bakoyannis, what's going on with the Astakos shipment? We don't want Greece to become embroiled in the Gaza massacre | Ho an'i Dora Bakoyannis, fa inona marina no misy ao @ity seran-tsambo ao Astaskos ity e? tsy te-ho voarohirohy @ ity fandripahana misy any Gaza ity izahay grika |
10 | Breaking with earlier practice not to converse through Twitter, the minister's team responded directly: | Sambany ny mpiasan'ny minisitera no nandika ny fitsipika tsy hiresaka mivantana @ vahoaka grika @ alalan'ny twitter: |
11 | … response on Astakos, http://tinyurl.com/9ts6xw | … valiny momba ny Astakos, http://tinyurl.com/9ts6xw |
12 | The link led to an official ministry statement stating that shipping of arms through Astakos or other Greek ports is a “non-issue” and vaguely denying press reports to the opposite. | Mitondra mankany @ filazana ofisialin'ny minisitera milaza fa “tsy mitombina” ny vaovao milaza ny fisian'ny sambo mitatitra fitaovam-piadiana mandalo ao @ seranan-tsambon'i Astakos na seranana hafa ny rohy. |
13 | However, blogger Odysseas had by then located the solicitation for the shipment on a US federal website: | Nefa nisy tolotra tany @ tranonkalan'ny fitondrana amerikanina mitady sambo hitondra ny entana hitan'i Odysseas: |
14 | In the following link you'll find the US Navy note about the shipment of munitions from the port of Astakos to Ashdod, Israel. | ao @ity rohy ity no ahitanao ny fitadiavan'ny tafika amerikanina sambo hitondra bala avy ao @seranan-tsambon'i Astakos ho any Ashdod,isiraely.misy io sambo io ary miandry ilay mpitatitra nifanaraka taminy. |
15 | The cargo exists and is awaiting a transport contractor | Notohizan'ny mpampiasa Twitter ny fanetsiketsehana na dia teo aza ny fandavan'ny fanjakana: |
16 | And Twitter users kept up the pressure, despite the official denial: | Dora Bakoyannis, Dia ahoana izany ny amin'ity takelaka [misy fitadiavana mpitatitra] ity? |
17 | Dora Bakoyannis, what's with the [solicitation] webpage, then? | Ny andro manaraka dia nitatitra ny mpampita vaovao fa nofoanana ny famindrana entana handeha amina sambo hafa. |
18 | The next day, news media reported that the shipment transfer had been canceled. | Tonga dia nisy ni-tweet (nisioka am-bolongana) avy hatrany izany: Nantsahatra ny fitondrana ny bala mandalo eto Astakos noho ny ady any Gaza! |
19 | This was also promptly tweeted: | Namintimpintina ny vaovao niely ny mpamaham-bolongana magicasland.com : |
20 | The transfer of munitions via Astakos was canceled because of the Gaza conflict! Blogger magicasland.com summarized the outcome: | Nanamarika ny APE [famoaham-baovao Grika] fa nofoanana ny fampidirana an-tsambo ny kaontenera 325 miaty bala miainga avy ao Astakos ka hizotra ho any Ashdod. [..] |
21 | An APE [Greek news agency] bulletin today mentions that the transfer of the 325 containers of munitions shipment from Astakos to the port of Ashdod was cancelled. [..] | Mazava loatra fa hisy ny famindrana entana any amin'ny toerana sasany; fa izany hoe tsy anio na avy eto. Mbola nanadihady lalina kokoa i coolplatanos , ary dia nahatsikaritra fitadiavam-piaraha-miasa hafa, ary nanamarina fa nofoanana ny fitadiavam-piaraha-miasa teo aloha: |
22 | It's certain that the shipment will be transferred at some point; just as long as it isn't now and from here. | … Efa nisy ihany koa ny antso misy fifanarahana tamin'ny 6 Desambra 2008 (nivoaka voalohany tamin'ny 4 Desambra), navoakan'ny tafika an-dranomasina Amerikana. |
23 | Blogger coolplatanos investigated further, discovering an additional arms shipment solicitation, and verifying that the original solicitation was cancelled: | Fifanarahana hitondra fitaovam-piadiana hafa, izay mbola mavesabesatra kokoa satria sambo mahazaka 989 TEU raha kely indrindra no ilaina. |
24 | In any case, today January 13 [09:00 EST], the solicitation page for the 325 TEU vessel was updated as “cancelled for the time being”. | Na izany aza aloha ilay fitadiavana mpitatitra hitondra 325 TEU dia efa nametrahana hafatra farany androany 13 Janoary [09:00 EST], manao hoe “nofoanana amin'izao fotoana izao”. |
25 | I looked up the above solicitations by improvising on Google search | Nahita kisendrasendra ireo fitadiavana mpitatitra ireo aho tamin'ny fampiasana ny mili-pikarohana Google |
