1 | Côte d’Ivoire: Twitter Campaign for Anderson Cooper’s Attention | Côte d’Ivoire: Fanentanana ao amin'ny Twitter mba hisarihana ny sain'Anderson Cooper |
2 | This post is part of our special coverage Côte d'Ivoire Unrest 2011. | |
3 | On February 21, 2011, @kenyanpundit sent a tweet linking to an article about international media following protests across the ‘Arab world' but ignoring those in Africa: | |
4 | @kenyanpundit: On global media and African protests, “Why are Anderson Cooper and Nick Kristoff not in C'ote d'Ivoire”? http://bit.ly/ibWmdu | Ny 21 Febroary 2011, nandefa tweet manome rohy mankany amina lahatsoratra momba ny fanarahan'ny media iraisam-pirenena ireo hetsi-panoherana manerana ny ‘Tontolo Arabo' kanefa manadino tanteraka ny any Afrika i @kenyanpundit : |
5 | @davidisen retweeted it adding that both reporters are also ignoring Gabon: | @davidisen dia namerina nitoraka izany tweet izany ary nanampy fa samy tsy miraharaha an'i Gabon ireo mpitati-baovao: |
6 | @davidisen: There's no Anderson Cooper or Nick Kristof in Gabon or Cote d'Ivoire! http://bit.ly/ibWmdu h/t @kenyanpundit @ethanz | Izaho (ny mpanoratra) no namaly an'i @kenyanpundit fa manana antony azo ekena tsy handrakofany an'i Côte d'Ivoire ireo mpanao gazety roa [tsy miteny frantsay]: |
7 | In the Middle East people speak English rather than French (the language used primarily on Ivorian protest hashtag #CIV2010), and this gave me the idea to start up a tweet campaign to get CNN reporter Anderson Cooper to cover Côte d'Ivoire: | |
8 | @annagueye: @kenyanpundit yes but people there speak English. I have decided that I will harass @andersoncooper until he gets his ass in #CIV2010 | Any Afovoany Atsinanana ny mponina any dia miteny Anglisy, ary nanome ahy hevitra ny hanomboka fanentanana amin'ny tweet mba hahazoana ny mpitatitry ny CNN Anderson Cooper handrakotra an'i Côte d'Ivoire: |
9 | @Darth_Sideous found another reason why the conflict is being ignored by US media: | @Darth_Sideous dia nahita antony iray hafa mahatonga ny tsy firaharahian'ny gazety Amerikana ity [tsy misy SOLIKA]: |
10 | @Darth_Sideous: @kenyanpundit @AndersonCooper@NickKristof Because we don't have OIL otherwise they'd be already in Ivory Coast! | |
11 | #civ2010 we don't need them @Darth_Sideous asked that we stop the campaign as @andersoncooper had not even bothered answering our tweets: | Nangataka ny hanajanonanay ny fanentanana i @Darth_Sideous satria tsy nisahirana hamaly na iray tamin'ireo tweetnay aza i @andersoncooper: |
12 | @Darth_Sideous: #civ2010 Please stop asking @ac360 to cover Ivory Coast bloodshed by pro-Gbagbo forces. | Nisy media hafa nanao izany, ohatra ny France 24, “Aza mifototra amin'ny Tontolo Arabo fotsiny. |
13 | He didn't answer a single tweet! | ‘Mandriaka koa ny rà aty an-tananan'Abidjan“: |
14 | Other media did. Other media did address the issue, for example in this article by France 24, “Do not focus only on the the Arab world. | @Darth_Sideous dia nisaotra ny TV5 Monde tamin'ny fanokanana ny ampahany tamin'ny fandaharam-baovaony ho an'ny zava-misy any Côte d'Ivoire: |
15 | Blood is also flowing on the streets of Abidjan“. | |
16 | On the third day of the campaign, at which point violence had been ongoing since Saturday 19 February, 2011, @Belligiani concluded that US media “don't care about Côte d'Ivoire”: | Tamin'ny andro fahatelon'ny fanentanana, raha mbola mitohy ireo herisetra hatramin'ny Asabotsy 19 Febroary 2011, @Belligiani dia nilaza ny fara-heviny fa “tsy miraharaha an'i Côte d'Ivoire” ny media Amerikana: |
17 | One of the first tweets saying that Côte d'Ivoire is in civil war was from @SenamBeheton: | Ny iray amin'ireo tweet voalohany izay milaza fa anatina ady an-trano i Côte d'Ivoire dia avy amin'i @SenamBeheton : |
18 | On Friday 25 February, 2011, UNHCR staff reported that at least 20,000 had fled fresh violence in Côte d'Ivoire capital, Abidjan. | |
19 | A few hours after this post was published @andersoncooper tweeted: @andersoncooper: I have been following #ivorycoast closely and it deserves far more coverage. | Ny Zoma 25 Febroary 2011, nitatitra ny mpiara-miasa ao amin'ny UNHCR fa 20,000 farafahakeliny ireo olona nitsoaka ny ady tany amin'ny Renivohitri' Côte d'Ivoire, Abidjan. |
20 | Monday will try to do something | Ora fohy taorian'ity famoahana ity lahatsoratra ity dia nitoraka tweet i @andersoncooper : |
21 | Ivorians will be watching. | “Hitana azy ho to teny” ireo Ivoariana! |
