1 | Uganda: Police Paint Protesters Pink | Oganda: Nolokoin'ny Polisy Mavokely Ireo Mpanao Hetsi-panoherana |
2 | This post is part of our special coverage Uganda: Walk to Work Protests. Ugandan police have responded to the past month's ongoing Walk to Work protests by spraying protesters with tear gas and live bullets. | Nanao valin-kafatra ho an'ireo hetsi-panoherana Walk to Work nisy tato anatin'ny roa volana farany ny polisy Ogande, tamin'ny entona mandatsa-dranomaso sy tifitra tamin'ny bala tena izy. |
3 | During a demonstration on Tuesday, they took a different tack, firing water cannons filled with pink liquid at demonstrators who were attempting to walk to Constitution Square in the center of Kampala. | Nandritra ny hetsika iray natao tamin'ny Talata lasa teo, fomba hafa indray no nampiharin-dry zareo, tifitra rano miloko mavokely mankany amin'ireo mpanao fihetsiketsehana izay nikasa ny handeha ho an'ny an-kianjan'ny Lalampanorenana ao afovoan'i Kampala. |
4 | Uganda's New Vision Newspaper tweeted a photo of opposition leaders covered in the paint. yfrog Photo user flashdancer11 shared the photo below: | Ny gazety New Vision ao Oganda dia nandefa sary iray tamin'ny bitsika ahitàna mpitarika mpanohitra iray rakotr'ilay rano miloko: Voatondraka tamin'izany ireo mpitarika ny mpanohitra |
5 | Some bloggers pointed out the irony of the government spraying protesters pink - a color often associated with the gay and lesbian community - given the anti-homosexuality bill currently making its way through Uganda's Parliament. | Ny sasany amin'ny mpitoraka bilaogy dia nanasongadina tanaty hadrohadro ny tondraka rano mavokely nataon'ny governemanta an'ireo mpanao fihetsiketsehana - loko iray izay mazàna no ampivadiana amin'ny vondrom-piarahamonin'ireo olona mitovy nefa mifanambady (gay and lesbian) - raha mbola eo an-dalam-pandinihana ao amin'ny Parlemanta Ogande ankehitriny ny lalàna manohitra ny fifanambadian'ny olona mitovy. |

7 | …might this also be a subliminal response to the leader of the opposition, Kizza Besigye, for pledging four months ago to decriminalize homosexuality if elected? | …mba ho hafatra mangina ho an'ilay mpitarika mpanohitra , Kizza Besigye, ve izy ity noho ny fiandaniany efa-bolana lasa izay amin'ny fandeferana ny fifanambadian'ny olona mitovy raha toa izy ka lany? |
8 | To which AfroGay would say to the head of the military guys drenching opposition in pink: thanks guys but the pink color is really just a metaphor. | Ho valin'izany dia te-hiteny amin'ireo miaramila nanondraka rano mavokely ny mpanohitra i AfroGay: misaotra ry zalahy a, saingy ny loko mavokely dia fiofoana fotsiny ihany. |
9 | There is no need to take it too literally. | Tsy misy tokony handraisana azy io ho ara-bakiteny loatra. |
10 | The hashtag #pinkstuff is also popular topic in the Ugandan Twittersphere: | Lohahevitra be mpahalala koa ny tenifototra #pinkstuff eo amin'ny tontolon'ny Twitter Ogande: |
11 | @Rosejackson3: So illegal to #walk2work in UG w/o permit. | @Rosejackson3: Dia tsy ara-dalàna izany ny #walk2work ao UG raha tsy nahazoana alàlana. |
12 | If you drive, windows smashed & tear gas to face. | Raha mamily fiara ianao, vaky fitaratra sy voapàla entona mandatsa-dranomaso. |
13 | If you fly, blocked. | Raha handray sidina ianao, voasakana. |
14 | If you stand-#pinkstuff | Raha hijanona indray-#pinkstuff |
15 | @ishtank: On the other hand, think of the stories we'll tell our great-grandchildren. | @ishtank: Amin'ny lafiny iray hafa, eritrereto izay tantara hambarantsika an'ireo zafintsika any aoriana be any. |
16 | “Kaaka, where were you the day #pinkStuff #trended on #Twitter?” | “Kaaka, taiza ianao tamin'ny andron'ny #pinkStuff lasa #trended (resahana be) ao amin'ny #Twitter?” |
17 | While many found the “pink stuff” humorous, others are still upset at the government's treatment of protesters. | Raha mahita ny “pink stuff” ho mahatsikaiky ny sasany, ny hafa kosa dia rangitra amin'ny fomba fitondran'ny governemanta an'ireo mpanao fihetsiketsehana. |

19 | Why does this seem incredibly Hitler/Nazi-esque to me? | Nahoana izy ity no tena manana endrika Hitler/Nazi izany ho ahy? |
20 | As if people don't have the right to demonstrate! | Sahala amin'ny hoe tsy manana zo haneho hevitra izany ny vahoaka! |
21 | I don't know how Museveni can even pretend to be running a democracy. | Tsy takatry ny saiko hoe fomba ahoana no ahafahan'i Musseveni milaza fa hitantana ny demaokrasia. |
22 | No doubt these people are being sprayed pink so that police can harrass and interrogate them and abuse them in the effort to crush their spirit of civic duty and freedom of expression! | Tsy isalasalana fa ireo vahoaka ireo dia notondrahana loko mavokely mba hahamora ny fanarahan'ny polisy azy sy hanadihady ary hila vaniny amin-dry zareo avy eo, mba hamotehana ny toe-panahiny sy ny fahatsapany ny adidy amin'ny mahasivily azy manolona ny fahalalahana maneho hevitra! |
23 | In a post titled “Turning Pink,” another blogger, Rhino, laments the government's actions: | Tanaty lahatsoratra iray nitondra lohateny hoe “Turning Pink,” “Niofo ho mavokely”, mpitoraka bilaogy iray hafa, Rhino, no sorena amin'ny fihetsiky ny governemanta: |
24 | I'm starting to dislike my government very much, it shows so much fear, infantile logic and an alarming willingness to resort to violence. | Nanomboka tsy tia maizina ny governemanta aho, mampiseho fampihorohoroana be izy, fisainan-jaza ary finiavana hampiasa herisetra mivandravandra be. |
25 | That is not what I want from it. | Tsy izany mihitsy no nandrasako taminy. |
26 | I want it to be just, to inspire me to be a better person and to help me create a better place for my kin and I to live in. | Fa fotsiny ny mba hanome ahy risi-po hiezaka ho tsara kokoa ary hanampy ahy hanorina toerana iray mendrika ho an'ny mpiray rà amiko sy hiaina ao anatiny. |
27 | I don't want it to threaten me with death should I choose to differ in opinion and practice, if that is the society it wishes to create, then I would rather not be party to it. | Tsy ny handràhona ahy ho faty no ilako azy raha mba mifidy ny hanana hevitra sy fomba fanao hafa aho, fa raha izany no fiarahamonina iriany hatsangana, dia tsy ilaiko akory ny ho isan'izany. |
