18 | The government must take care of the dead and the wounded, compensate families and rebuild their homes. | Tokony raisin'ny fitondrana an-tanana ny fikarakarana ny maty sy ny maratra sy ny manome onitra ho an'ny fianakaviana hananganany indray ny tranony. |

20 | This is what happens when all one thinks about is weapons. | Izao no mitranga rehefa tsy mieritreritra afa-tsy fitaovam-piadiana. |
21 | All this money spent to buy arms could have been used to build schools, hospitals or to support companies. | Azo nananganana sekoly na hopitaly na orinasa izao ny vola lany rehetra nivodianana fitaovam-piadiana. |
22 | How can the people feel safe after such accident. | Ahoana moa no hahatsapan'ny olona ho voaaro taorian'iny loza iny? |
