1 | 154 Elected in Bangladesh Before Any Votes Are Cast | Bangladesh : Voafidy 154 Sahady Tsy Mbola Nanomboka Fandrotsaham-Bato Akory |
2 | Without a single vote being cast, Bangladesh's ruling Awami League and allies have won more than half of the seats in parliament because an opposition boycott has left so many candidates without challengers. | Mbola tsy nanomboka akory ny fandrotsaham-bato, dia efa nahazo mihoatra ny atsasaky ny toerana ao amin'ny antenimiera sahady ny antokon'ny mpitondra ao Bangladesh, ny Ligin'ny Awami sy ny mpiara-dia aminy satria maro dia maro tokoa ny kandidà no tsy manana mpifanandrina aminy. |
3 | Among the 39 registered political parties only around 12 are participating in the general election on January 5, 2014. | Amin'ireo antoko politika 39 voasoratra anarana dia manodidina ny 12 ihany no mandray anjara amin'ny fifidianana ankapobeny amin'ny 5 Janoary 2014. |
4 | As a consequence, 154 out of 300 seats have been automatically decided. | Vokatr'izany, efa voadidy ho azy ny momba ny toerana 154 amin'ny 300. |
5 | An 18 party alliance led by the Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP) are boycotting the election, demanding that Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina resign and allow a neutral caretaker government to oversee the balloting, as was previously called for by the constitution. | Nidongy tsy hanao fifidianana ny firaisankinan'antoko 18 tarihin'ny Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP na Antoko Nasionalista Bengladesh), mitaky ny hialan'ny praiminisitra Sheikh Hasina ka mamela governemanta tsy miandany hanaramaso ny fifidianana, araka izay efa ilazan'ny lalampanorenana azy. |
6 | For months, opposition supporters have engaged in violent protests across the country to stress their demands. | Am-bolana ireo mpanohana ny mpanohitra ny efa niditra tamin'ny fihetsiketseham-panoherana misetrasetra manerana ny firenena hampisehoan-dry zareo ny fitakian-dry zareo. |
7 | This has caused huge and costly damages and hampered the day-to-day lives of citizens. | Niteraka fahasimbana goavana sy tsy hita noanoa izany ary nanohintohina ny fiainana andavanandron'ny olona. |
8 | Three persons, including a woman, have been burned as miscreants lobbed a petrol bomb onto a bus at Paribagh in Dhaka, on the third day of the Opposition's nonstop blockade of the city protesting the election. | Olona telo,ary vehivavy ny iray, no nodorana fa hoe olon-dratsy ka notorahana baomba solitany (cocktail molotov) tao amin'ny bus iray tao Paribagh any Dhaka, tamin'ny andro fahatelon'ny fanaovan'ny mpanohitra barazy tsy mitsahatra ny tanàna ho fanoherana ny fifidianana. |

11 | Sajeeb Wajed Joy, the son of Prime Minister, admits on Facebook [bn] that the opposition boycott puts the validity of the election in question, but says the election must be held to uphold the constitution (the constitution requires a parliamentary election be held before January 24): [..] | Sajeeb Wajed Joy, zanaka lahin'ny Praiminisitra, dia nanaiky tao amin'ny Facebook [bn] fa mampiteraka fisalasalana amin'ny mampanankery ny fifidianana lazaina etoana ny fidongiana nataon'ny mpanohitra, saingy nolazainy fa tsy maintsy notanterahina ny fifidianana ho fanajana ny lalampanorenana (takian'ny lalampanorenana ny tsy maintsy hanatontosana ny fifidianana antenimiera mialoha ny 24 Janoary): [..] |
12 | We have to ensure that a constitutional vacuum does not arise, we have no option other than this election even it will not be perfect. | Tsy maintsy natao izao tsy hisian'ny banga eo amin'ny lalampanorenana, tsy manan-tsafidy ankoatra ity fifidianana ity isika na dia tsy ho tonga lafatra aza izany. |
13 | The onus to uphold the constitution is on us. | Tsy maintsy isika ihany no mampanaja ny Lalampanorenana. |
14 | If you do not want others to gain power through unconstitutional means then please go to your nearest polling station and please do vote. | Raha tsy tianao halain'ny hafa amin'ny fomba tsy mifanaraka amin'ny lalampanorenana ny fahefana dia mandehana mankany amin'ny biraom-pifidianana akaiky anao indrindra ary mifidiana azafady. |
15 | However Kathakata blog thinks [bn] that the government's actions discourage voters: [..] | Na izany aza ny bilaogy Kathakata [bn] dia mieritreritra fa manao izay hahakivy ny mpifidy ny ataon'ny governemanta: [..] |
16 | Would it be wrong to conclude that the question of exercising our right to vote, an election by the people, means nothing now? | Mety ho diso ve ny manao tsoa-kevitra fa ny resaka mampihatra ny zo anananao handrotsa-bato, fifidianana ataon'ny vahoaka, dia tsy midika na inona na inona amin'izao fotoana izao? |
17 | As many voters in the country know from the already declared results, their votes have no value. | Satria efa maro ny mpifidy eto amin'ny firenena no mahafantatra sahady ny ho valiny, dia tsy misy lanjany ny safidin-dry zareo. |
18 | In this case the government, not the boycotting opposition, has discouraged voters from going to polling stations on the day of the election. | Amin'izay fotoana izay ny governemanta, fa tsy ny ankivin'ny mpanohitra, no nanakivy ny mpifidy tsy handeha ho any amin'ny biraom-pifidianana amin'ny andron'ny fifidianana. |
19 | So this has given more cause not to cast votes than the opposition call to “ignore” or “occupy”. | Izany no antony lehibe kokoa tsy hantsotsahan'ny olona vato mihoatra noho ny antsoin'ny mpanohitra “tsy hiraharaha” na “hibodo”. |
20 | Blogger and activist Rasel Pervez (who is currently on bail after being detained for his writing) quotes [bn] minister Obaidul Quader and says the election is not democratic: | Nanatsonga [bn] ny tenin'ny minisitra Obaidul Quader ny bilaogera sady mpikatroka Rasel Pervez (izay nahazo fahafahana vonjimaika rehefa notazonina noho ny zava-nosoratany) ary niteny fa tsy demokratika ny fifidianana : |
21 | […] Just as Obaidul Quader said in a press conference, after the election of January 5 they will hold a negotiation to arrange an all-party, free and fair and democratic election. | […] Araka ilay nolazain'i Obaidul Quader tamin'ny valandresaka iray nataony, hanao fifampiraharahana ry zareo aorian'ny fifidianana amin'ny 5 Janoary hanaovana fifidianana andraisan'ny antoko rehetra anjara, malalaka sy marina ary demokratika. |
22 | He himself knows that the January 5 election will not be democratic. | Na izy tenany aza dia mahatsapa fa tsy ho demokratika ny fifidianana amin'ny 5 janoary. |
23 | On Twitter, Mahbubul Karim has named the 10th national parliament election a “selection”: | Ao amin'ny Twitter, lazain'i Mahbubul Karim ho “fifantenana” ny fifidianana parlemantera nasionaly fahafolo hotontosaina: |
24 | Its not election, but a shameful selection http://t.co/em0sLJDSIz | Tsy fifidianana io fa fifantenana mahamenatra http://t.co/em0sLJDSIz |
25 | Police fire water cannon, tear shell to stopped a procession by lawyers supporting the opposition BNP and its ally Jamaat-e-Islami near the Supreme Court in Dhaka, Bangladesh. | Nitifitra tamin'ny tafondron-drano, akora mandatsa-dranomaso ny Polisy hampitsaharana ny filaharamben'ny mpisolovava manohana ny mpanohitra BNP sy ny mpiara-dia aminy Jamaat-e-Islami teo akaikin'ny Fitsarana Tampony tao Dhaka, Bangladesh. |

28 | Blogger Shaman Shattik writes [bn] on Aamar Bandhu that he wants Awami League in power again to see the completion of the ongoing trial of war criminals. | Manoratra [bn] ao amin'ny Aamar Bandhu ny bilaogera Shaman Shattik fa tiany mbola ho eo amin'ny fitondrana indray ny Ligy Awami hijereny ny famitàna ny fitsarana ireo meloka an'ady. |
29 | The talk of the town is that democracy will be hindered as all parties are not participating in the January 5, 2014 election. | Ny firesaka an-tanandehibe moa dia hoe voasembantsembana ny demokrasia rehefa tsy mandray anjara amin'ny fifidianana amin'ny 5 janoary 2014 ny antoko rehetra. |
30 | As much as there is truth in that statement, a higher truth is exposed to the citizens. | Raha misy marina ao amin'io fanambarana io, dia nisy fahamarinana ambony kokoka naseho tamin'ny olom-pirenena. |
31 | Instead of being frank to solve the basic problems of the citizens, these governments are eager to extend their terms/grab power for the next five years. | Raha tokony hilofo amin'ny famahana ny olana tsotra [fototra] mpahazo ny olom-pirenena ireo governemanta ireo dia mailaka amin'ny fanitarana/fandrombahana ny fahefana ao anatin'ny dimy taona manaraka. |
32 | Because both the major parties are neck-and-neck when it comes to corruption and abuse of power. | Koa satria moa mifanindran-dalana (mitovy laharana) ny antoko lehibe anankiroa rehefa eo amin'ny kolikoly sy ny fihoaram-pahefana. |
33 | In this case I actually want to see the inevitable winners of the January 5, 2014 election, the Awami League, be in power as long as it takes to complete the ongoing trial of war criminals. | Amin'izay tranga izay tiako tokoa ny mpandresy tsy azo idifiana amin'ny fifidianana 5 janoary 2014, ny ligy Awami, ho eo amin'ny fahefana hatrany mandra-pahavitan'ny fitsarana ireo meloka an'ady izay mandeha amin'izao fotoana izao |
34 | The Prime Minister says [bn] the opposition party boycott is to blame for the uncontested winners in more than half of all constituencies. | Nilaza [bn] ny Praiminisitra fa ny ankivy ataon'ny antoko mpanohitra no mendrika hobedesina amin'ny fisian'ny mpandresy tsy ho voatohitra amin'ny mihoatra atsasaky ny fari-pifidianana rehetra misy. |
