1 | Malawi: Reactions to former president political comeback | Malawi : Hevitra nateraky ny fiverenan'ny filoha taloha hanao pôlitika |
2 | Recently, the United Democratic Front (UDF) of Malawi's former president Bakili Muluzi had a convention and elected him as their presidential candidate in next year's election. | Vao tsy ela izay, no nanatanterahan'ny antoko [eo amin'ny fitondrana] UDF [United Democratic Front ] ny fihaonambeny sy ny nifidianany ny filoha taloha Bakili Muluzi ho kandidan-dry zareo amin'ny fifidianana filoham-pirenena izay hotanterahaina amin'ny taona ho avy any Malawi [2009]. |
3 | His only challenger was Malawi's vice president Dr Cassim Chilumpha who is answering treason charges. | Ny filoha lefitry Malawi, ny Dr Cassim Chilumpha izay ambany fiampangana ho mpamadika no mba mpifaninana hany niatrika taminy. |
4 | Lilongwe-based blogger Austin Madinga says he Muluzi's comeback is for wrong reasons. | Austin Madinga izay mpiblaogy monina any Lilongwe dia mihevitra fa diso ny fototry ny fanapahan-kevitra izay nanosika an'i Muluzi hiverina hanao pôlitika. |
5 | Madinga introduces his post by saying that he heard Muluzi in a BBC in an interview: | Tsahivin'i Madinga ny tafatafa nifanaovan'ny filoha Muluzi tamin'ny BBC [haino aman-jery mivoy vaovao Anglisy] ho fampidirany ny lahatsorany : |
6 | When asked why he would like to return as Malawi's president he said because Bingu wa Mutharika (Muluzi's successor) had dumped the party after he was elected president and as such he needed to return the UDF to power! | “Rehefa nanontaniana izy hoe nahoana no manam-paniriana ny hiverina ho filoham-pirenena any Malawi ny tenany, dia navaliny fa taorian'ny naha-voafidy an'i Bingu wa Mutharika (filoham-pirenena nisolo toerana an'i de Muluzi tamin'ny taona 2004, ary nandao ny UDF ka nanorina antoko vaovao DPP [Democratic Progressive Party] tamin'ny 2005) dia nosimbany ny antoko ka ilaina ny famerenana ny antoko UDF amin'ny tanjaka nananany taloha !” |
7 | This type of reasoning to me is not only gravely flawed but also defied all logic. | Tsy vitan'ny hoe, mivilana tanteraka fa tsy mitombona mihitsy hoy aho ny fomba fihevitra toy izany. |
8 | Mr Muluzi needs to be reminded that people do not ascend to power to simply punish others or for the sake of being a ruling party. | Tokony ampatsiahivina an'ingahy Muluzi fa tsy ny hanome famaizana olon-kafa fotsiny na koa [famerenana ny] tanjak'izay antoko pôlitika [reraka] no iakaran'ny olona eo amin'ny fitondrana. |
9 | They are placed in positions of authority to serve the people and going by Muluzi's past record, that is not likely to feature high on his agenda. | Ny antony anomezana fahefana azy dia mba ahafahany manompo ny vahoaka, ary raha tarafina amin'izay efa traikefan'ingahy Muluzi dia toa tsy ao anatin'ireo vain-doha-draharahany izany zavatra izany.” |
10 | A prominent Malawian political science commentator and University of Malawi lecturer Boniface Dulani started blogging a few weeks with the sole purpose of sharing his views on politics in Malawi. | Nanokatra blaogy vao herinandro vitsy izay i Boniface Dulani izay sady mpanaraka vaovao pôlitika raindahiny no mpampianatra ao amin'ny Anjerimanontolon'i Malawi. |
11 | His recent post is titled On the UDF Convention and Why Muluzi will not get my vote. | Ny lahatsorany vao tsy ela dia nampitondrainy ny lohateny hoe Momba ny fihaonamben'ny antoko UDF sy izay antony tsy hifidianako an'i Muluzi. |
12 | He critically looks at Muluzi's candidature and the UDF convention which he describes as a joke since its delegates were themselves not democratically chosen: | Tsikerainy ny fanolorana an'i Muluzi ho kandida sy ny fihaonamben'ny UDF izay ampitahainy amin'ny vazivazy satria na ireo solontena izay nanatrika izany fivoriana izany aza dia tsy nisy nofidiana tamin'ny fomba demôkratika akory : |
13 | Even if I was to be persuaded to believe that Muluzi did a wonderful job in his first ten years in office (and it would not be a mean achievement to convince me), I just cannot accept that the UDF does not have any other individuals from within their ranks that are capable of leading the party into the next elections. | “Eny e, na dia atao aza hoe resy lahatra aho fa niasa tsara i Muluzi nandritra ireo folo taona voalohany naha filoham-pirenena azy (sady ambarako mialoha fa tsy ho zavatra mora ny handresy lahatra ahy mikasika izany), dia tsy eken'ny saiko tsotra izao ny mieritreritra fa fa tsy misy olon-kafa mahavita azy hafa avy ao amin'ny antoko UDF izay afaka hitarika azy amin'ny fifidianana manaraka. |
14 | The only way we know Muluzi has the potential to be President is because he was given the chance to serve in the first place. | Ny ahafantarantsika fa hahavita azy i Muluzi dia satria notolotra azy ny loha-laharana [fa tsy mba nisy adihevitra sy fifaninanana akory]. |
15 | This only goes to show that what the country, and the UDF, lack is not people with leadership potential, but opportunities to serve. | Izany dia mampiharihary fa anivon'ny antoko UDF sy eo amin'ny firenena amin'ny ankapobeany dia [tena] misy ireo olona izay manana traikefa ho mpitondra fa ny toerana no sarotra vao azo. |
16 | If Muluzi is so important to the UDF, he can serve an important advisory role to a different UDF nominee instead of clinging on to the candidacy himself. | Raha tena manana izay maha-izy azy anivon'ny antoko UDF tokoa i Muluzi dia afaka manolotsaina ireo kandida hafa izay hirotsaka izy, fa tsy ny mifikitra sy mikiry ho kandida izy tenany [toy izay ataony ankehitriny].” |
17 | Now to something different about Malawi. | Andao hiova lohahevitra indray ka hiresaka zavatra hafa mihitsy mikasika an'ny Malawi. |
18 | The Botswana-based blogger Bennet Kankuzi launched a bog titled I Love Malawi with the primary purpose of sharing photos about Malawi fondly called the Warm Heart of Africa. | Bennet Kankuzi izay mpiblaogy monina any Botswana dia nanokatra blaogy vaovao nampitondrainy ny lohateny hoe Tiako I Malawi [I Love Malawi fa tsy TIM tsy akory] izay nafantony ho fanapariahana sary mikasika an'i Malawi izay mitondra ny anaram-bosotra hoe “fo mivaivain'i Afrika” [Warm Heart of Africa]. |
19 | So if one someone wants to follow the beauty of Malawi, here is the blog to give you some relief from the politics and economy. | Ka raha misy amintsika liana ny hahalala bebe kokoa momba ny hakanton'i Malawi, dia indro blaogy ahafahanareo manaraka vaovao hafa ankoatr'izay resaka pôlitika sy toekarena [izay efa mankalao]. |
