1 | Rwanda: Bloggers Discuss Presidential Election 2010 | Roanda: Miresaka momba ny fifidianana filoham-pirenena 2010 ireo mpitoraka blaogy |
2 | Rwandan presidential election was held in Rwanda on 9 August 2010. | Natao tany Roanda tamin'ny 09 Aogositra 2010 lasa teo ny fifidianana filoham-pirenena Roandey . |
3 | Preliminary results released by the National Electoral Commission show that President Kagame has won by a landslide. | Mampibaribary ny fandresen' ny Filoha Kagame ny santatry ny voka-pifidianana navoakan'ny Komity Nasionaly misahana ny Fifidianana. |
4 | What does Kagame's victory mean to Rwanda? | Midika inona ho an'i Roanda ny fandresen'i Kagame ? |
5 | Was the election free and fair? | Tamin'ny fomba nalalaka sy nadio ve iny fifidianana iny? |
6 | What are the real challenges facing Rwanda now that the election is over? | Inona izao ireo zavatra tsy maintsy atrehan'i Roanda amin'izao fotoana izao raha vita iny ny fifidianana ? |
7 | These are some of the issues that bloggers are discussing following the release of preliminary results. | Ireo no lohahevitra sasany izay resahan'ireo mpitoraka bilaogy taorian'ny famoahana ireo santatry ny valim-pifidianana. |
8 | Susan Thomson of Democracy Watch Rwanda 2010 says that that Kagame's re-election is not a surprise because the opposition was silenced: | Milaza i Susan Thomson avy ao amin'ny Democracy Watch Rwanda 2010 fa tsy mahagaga intsony ny fahalanian'i Kagame tamin'ny fifidianana satria nampanginina ny mpanohitra: |
9 | As predicted by friends and foes alike, Paul Kagame has been re-elected by a landslide. | Araka ny efa naminavinan'ireo namana sy ireo fahavalony, lany tamin'ny isa mazava be i Paul Kagame . |
10 | This is no surprise as the opposition was silenced. | Tsy mahagaga izany satria nampanginina ny mpanohitra. |
11 | Some critics assume that because Kagame and his RPF did not allow the opposition to register as formal political parties that the major crisis facing Rwanda is its weak political opposition. | Milaza ny mpandinika sasany fa noho ny tsy namelàn'i Kagame, sy ny RPF miaraka aminy, ireo mpanohitra mba hisoratra anarana ho isan'ireo antoko ara-politika ara-dalàna, ny ankamaroan'ny krizy atrehan'i Roanda dia ny fahosan'ny mpanohitra ara-politika. |
12 | I have never thought this was a major consideration as there is very little chance of political power to pass democratically. | Tsy noheveriko hisy heviny lehibe izany satria kely ny vintana hisian'ny famindram-pahefana politika hatao amin'ny fomba demokratika. |
13 | The opposition is divided, has no meaningful or even distinct platform, and likely has little support among elites and peasant folks alike (we don't actually know because no one has asked Rwandans themselves what they think). | Nizarazara ny mpanohitra, tsy manana drafitra mazava na sehatr'asa miavaka, sady toa kely tohana avy amin'ireo andrarezina sy ireo tambanivohitra mitovy aminy (mbola tsy fantatsika izany aloha hatreto satria tsy mbola nisy nanontany ireo Roande ny hevitr'izy ireo mikasika izany ). |
14 | The real challenge for Rwanda, argues Susan, lies in the power struggle within the ruling party, the Rwandan Patriotic Front (RPF): | Miankina amin'ny ady fahefana eo anivon'ireo antoko politika mitondra , the Rwandan Patriotic Front (RPF), ny tena ady atrehina marina ho an'i Roanda , hoy i Susan miaro ny heviny : |
15 | The real issue now that the elections are over is the undeniable emergence of a power struggle within the ruling RPF. | Ny tena resaka amin'izao fahavitan'ny fifidianana izao dia ny fahamaikana hiady fahefana ao anivon'ny RPF mpitantana. |
16 | This has not been reported upon in any meaningful way. | Tsy nahemotra mihitsy izany na inona antony na inona. |
17 | Partly, I'm sure, because critical academics and journalists have yet to interview the main actors. | Amin'ny ampahany ihany, azoko antoka, satria mbola mila manontany mivantana amin'ireo mpandray anjara fototra, ireo akademisiana mpandalina sy ny mpanao gazety. |
18 | We are working with newspaper interviews, and Kagame's reaction to these public offerings in campaign speeches and during his monthly meeting with journalists based in Kigali. | Isika dia miasa miaraka amin'ny resadresaka mivantana an-gazety, ary ny fihetsik'i Kagame amin'ireto fanomezana nataony ho an'ny vahoaka tamin'ireo lahateniny nandritra ny fampielezan-keviny sy nandritra ireo fihaonany tamin'ny mpanao gazety tany Kigali isam-bolana . |
19 | What we do know is that since the RPF took power in 1994, it has continued to consolidate power in its own hands. | Ny zavatra tena fantatsika aloha dia nanohy nanamafy ny fahefana eo am-pelatanany ny RPF hatramin'ny nandraisany izany tamin'ny 1994. |
20 | We don't know the political intentions or power base of those that have fallen out with Kagame. | Tsy haintsika ireo hevitra ara-politika na ny fahefana fototr'ireo izay niaraka petsa amin'i Kagame. |
21 | Most significant is Kagame's sidelining of much of the RPFs military elite. | Ny nanilihan'i Kagame ireo miaramila manana ny maha-izy azy tao amin'ny RPF aloha no tena misongadina. |
22 | These include several senior officers who were in the bush with Kagame, and who arguably had a role in forming the then-rebel RPF. | Anisan'izany ireo miaramila tranainy maromaro izay niaraka tamin'i Kagame tany anaty akata, ary nandray anjara tsy am-pisalasalana tamin'ny namoronana ny RPF, mpihoko fahizany. |
23 | These include, among others, General Sam Kaka and General Frank Rusagara. | Tafiditra ao anatin'izany, ankoatr'ireo hafa sasany, ny Jeneraly Sam Kaka sy ny Jeneraly Frank Rusagara. |
24 | In 2001, General Kayumba Nyamwasa also fell out with Kagame, as well, and in 2005 the head of external intelligence Colonel Patrick Karegeya was arrested on allegations of insubordination. | Tamin'ny 2001, tompon' andraikitra niaraka tamin'i Kagame ihany koa ny Jeneraly Kayumba Nyamwasa, ary tamin'ny taona 2005, nogadraina ny lehiben'ny Fitsikilovana Ivelany, ny Kolonely Patrick Karegeya noho ny fanenjehana azy ho tsy mandray baiko . |
25 | This much is widely known. | Fantatry ny olon-drehetra izany . |
26 | The divisions with the RPF came to a head when General Kayumba fled into exile in South Africa. | Tonga tamin'ny fara-tampony ny fisamatsamahana tao amin'ny RPF raha nitsoaka nanao sesitany tany Afrika Atsimo ny Jeneraly Kayumba. |
27 | In addition, two other generals (Karake and Muhire) were arrested, accused of masterminding the grenade attacks that happened in the spring. | Fanampin'izany, nogadraina koa ireo jeneraly roa hafa (Karake sy Muhire) , nampangaina ho atidoha nikotrika ireo fanafihana tamin'ny grenady izay niseho tamin'ny lohataona . |
28 | In sum, most of the senior RPF military brass from 1994 have fled into exile or have been arrested (a few have retired and have been relieved of their duties). | Fehiny, nitsoaka nanao sesitany na nogadraina ny ankamaroan'ireo lohandohany miaramila tranainy RPF tamin'ny taona 1994 (vitsy no nandeha nisotro ronono ary nesorina tamin'ireo andraikiny) . |
29 | The election results were a foregone conclusion. | Efa nampoizina ny valim-pifidianana. |
30 | The question was how much was Kagame going to win by: | Ny fanontaniana izao dia hoe hoatrinona no azon'i Kagame tamin'izany: |
31 | There was no discussion about who would win Rwanda's 2010 Presidential election among Rwandan and foreign hacks as we drove through the eastern provinces yesterday afternoon. | Tsy misy resaka mikasika ny hoe iza no mety handresy amin'ny fifidianana filoham-pirenena 2010 eo amin'ireo Roande any Roanda sy ireo sakana vahiny raha nandeha namakivaky ireo faritany atsinanana izahay omaly tolakandro. |
32 | As we passed shuttered polling stations, the betting began. | Nanomboka ny filokàna raha nandalo ireo biraom-pifidianana efa nihidy izahay . |
33 | How much would President Paul Kagame win by? | Firy no mety ho azon'ny Filoha Paul Kagame tamin'izany ? |
34 | By 5pm, we'd heard three preliminary results from three separate polling stations. | Taorian'ny tamin'ny 5 ora hariva , nandre ny santatry ny valim-pifidianna telo avy amina biraom-pifidianana telo samihafa izahay. |
35 | The consensus in the car put the win at around 96%. | Mametraka ny fandresena eo amin'ny 96 % eo ho eo, ny marimaritra iraisana tao anaty fiara. |
36 | I'll admit, I went for a 90% Kagame win purely for pragmatic reasons. | Tena ekeko, manome 90% aho fa noho ny antony pragmatika ihany no andresen'i Kagame . |
37 | As far as I understand it, and please correct me if I'm wrong, the opposition parties need 5% of the vote each to secure government funds to stay in existence. | Raha ny fahazoako azy, ary miangavy aho mba ahitsio raha diso, mila ny 5%n'ny fifidianana ireo antoko mpanohitra tsirairay raha te hanohy hahazo amin'ny kitapom-bolan'ny governemanta hanohizany ny mari-pisiany . |
38 | If the preliminary result of almost 93% for Kagame stands, I'm not sure what it will mean for the opposition, such as it is, According to the preliminary results released by the National Electoral Commission, President Kagame won by 92.9 percent. | Raha marina ny santatry ny valim-pifidianana fa 93% lasan'i Kagame, tsy hitako loatra ny ho dikan'izany ho an'ireo mpanohitra raha araka ny zava-misy . Raha ny santatry ny valim-pifidianana navoakan'ny Komity Nasionaly misahana ny Fifidianana, nandresy tamin'ny 92.9 isan-jato ny Filoha Kagame. |
39 | The PSD candidate, Dr. Jean Damascene Ntawukuriryayo, has 4.9 %, Prosper Higiro from the Liberal party (PL) 1.5 % and the PPC candidate, Dr Alvera Mukabaramba 0.7 %. link | Nahazo 4.9% ny kandidà PSD Dr. Jean Damascene Ntawukuriryayo, 1.5¨% ho an'i Prosper Higiro avy amin'ny antoko Liberal (PL) ary 0. 7% ho an'ny kandidà PPC, Dr Alvera Mukabaramba 0.7 %. link |
40 | Graham Holliday looks at unreported issues around the election. | Mitodika amin'ireo resaka tsy voatatitra mikasika ny fifidianana i Graham Holliday. |
41 | He begins with the campaign period: | Ny fotoam-pampielezan-kevitra no anombohany azy : |
42 | Campaign period The crowds at the RPF campaign rallies were colossal. | Fotoam-pampielezan-kevitra Be dia be ny vahoaka tamin'ny fihaonana tamin'ny fampielezan-kevitra RPF . |
43 | This show of strength was aimed at three audiences. | Karazana mpihaino telo no tanjon'ity fanehoan-kery ity . |
44 | To Rwandans, it emphasizes the strength and perceived popularity of the RPF. | Ho an'ireo Roande, maneho ny hery sy ny lazan'ny RPF izany. |
45 | To foreign observers, it's a fantastic piece of PR for the ruling party. | Ho an'ireo vahiny mpanaramaso , tantara an-tsehatra mahafinaritra nataon'ny PR ho an'ireo antokon'ny fitondrana izany. |
46 | In addition, and most importantly according to western diplomatic sources, this impressive show of support was directed at “enemies of Rwanda outside Rwanda”. | Fanampin'izany, ary ny tena zava-dehibe raha ny fahitan'ny loharanom-baovao diplomatika tandrefana azy, naroso ho an'ireo ” mpifanandrina amin'i Roanda izay any ivelan'i Roanda” ity fampisehoana mahatsikaiky ho fanohanana ity ”. |
47 | He then goes on to discuss what he calls “Rwanda PR machine melts down”: | Ary tohizany ny resaka amin'izay antsoiny hoe “Rava ny masinina PR ao Roanda ” : |
48 | It was just late 2009 when the head of a western NGO talked to me about how incredible Rwanda's PR machine is. “How do they run their ship so tightly?”, she asked. | Tsy ela loatra taorian'ny faran'ny taona 2009 raha tafaresaka tamiko ny tale-na ONG tandrefana (Fikambanana Tsy Miankina amin'ny fanjakana) iray momba ny fihodinana tsy mampinon'ny milina PR ao Roanda “Fomba ahoana no ataon-dry zareo hanamoriana am-pahatokisana toy izao ny sambony, hoy izy nanontany. |
49 | Well, 2010 saw that ship all but sink. | Hay, nahita ny faharendrehan'izany sambo izany ny taona 2010 . |
50 | It's unclear whether any amount of professional shoring up will stop the tide of bad press, at least in the short term. | Tsy mazava izany raha ampy hanajanona ny onjan'ny fanaratsiana an-gazety ny fitambaran'ny ankamaroan'ny fahaiza-manaon ‘ireo matihanina, farafaharatsiny mandritry ny fotoana fohy. |
51 | How did it happen and happen so quickly? | Ahoana no nisehoan'izany ary ny nisehoan'izany tao anatin'ny fotoana fohy” |
52 | Grenade attacks, defections, assassinations, press freedom and repression of political opposition… they are regularly bundled into your average Rwanda story. | Fanafihana amin'ny grenady, fitsoahana, famonoan'olona, ny fahalalahan'ny fanaovan-gazety ary ny famaizana ny antoko mpanohitra … ireo izany no mandrakotra lalandava ny ankabetsahan'ny tantaran'i Roanda. |
53 | There is no proof (that I know of) linking any of these events, but the portrayal by western media often leaves readers with the impression that some or all of these events can be linked and linked back to the government. | Tsy misy porofo ( raha ny fahalalahako azy) izay mampifandray an'ireo tranga ireo, nefa ny fandikan'ireo haino aman-jery tandrefana matetika dia mamela ireo mpamaky hihevitra fa misy ifandraisana ireo tranga sasany ireo ary misy ifandraisany amin'ny governemanta. |
54 | For example, the common narrative with the banning of Umuseso and Umuvugizi newspapers for six months is that this is a bad thing. | Ohatra, ny fitantarana iaraha-mahalala mikasika ny fampihantonana ny gazety Umuseso sy Umuvugizi mandritry ny enim-bolana dia zavatra ratsy. |
55 | However, I'm reliably told that both Umuseso and Umuvugizi regularly fabricated entire stories and made up quotes. | Na izany aza, nisy nilaza tamiko ary itokisako fa nanamboatra foana tantara feno sy namorona fitanisana na ny Umuseso na ny Umuvugizi. |
56 | Sure, the 6 month ban looks draconian, but it's clear these papers were, at best, unprofessional. | Azo antoka, tena henjana mihitsy ny fandraràna mandritry ny 6 volana, fa mazava koa nefa fa tsy matihanina mihitsy ireo gazety ireo . |
57 | Another case is Victoire Ingabire's FDU-Inkingi Party party which was not allowed to register for the Presidential election. | Tranga hafa iray ny an' i Victoire Ingabire ao amin'ny antoko FDU-Inkingi Party izay tsy nahazo alalana ny hisoratra anarana amin'ny fifidianana Filoham-pirenena. |
58 | She has been held under house arrest and had her passport taken away. | Notanana am-ponja izy ary nesorina taminy ny pasipaorony. |
59 | Western media outlets often portray this as blatant suppression without looking at some of the more damaging facts. | Matetika ny fanehoan-kevitry ny haino aman-jery tandrefana no maneho izany ho fanakanan-dalana miharihary fa tsy mijery ireo zava-misy maro mety manimba zavatra. |
60 | Ingabire refuses to divulge how her party is financed and she is President of two somewhat dodgy Rwanda diaspora parties - the RDR and FDU. | Nandà ny hilaza ampahibemaso ny fomba nahazoan'ny antokony vola i Ingabire ary Filohan'ny karazan'antoko-na zanaka ampielezana mampiahiahy anankiroa any Roanda ihany koa izy - ny RDR sy ny FDU. |
61 | The election was flawed and the country is fractured. | Misy lesoka be dia be ny fifidianana ary nizarazara ny firenena . |
62 | Is Rwanda progressing or regressing?: | Mandroso sa mihemotra i Roanda ?: |
63 | However, given that the elections have been marred by fundamental breaches of democratic principles, it is irritating and shocking that some sections of the international media are not yet sure whether Rwanda is progressing or regressing. | Na izany na tsy izany, hita fa efa tototr'ireo fandikan-dalàna fototra amin'ny fitsipika ara-demokratika ny fifidianana, tena mahasosotra sy mahatohina ny mahita fa mbola tsy mahita marina loatra ny haino aman-jery iraisam-pirenena sasany raha mandroso na mihemotra i Roanda. |
64 | Paul Kagame has developed a cultivated an image that is almost impossible to criticize, notes Nkunda: | Nandrafitra sary novolivolena i Paul Kagame izay saika tsy misy azo kianina mihitsy hoy i Nkunda: |
65 | Paul Kagame has cultivated a certain image that is almost impossible to criticize. | Namboly karazan-tsary izay saika tsy misy azo kianina mihitsy i Paul Kagame . |
66 | In a way, this image is responsible for corrupting democracy. | Amin'ny lafiny iray, tompon'andraikitra amin'ny fanaovana kolikoly ny demokrasy ity sary ity. |
67 | Many of the Anglophone journalists and writers, who first came to Rwanda, did so under the protégé of the RPF. | Mpanao gazety maro avy amin'ny tany miteny anglisy sy mpanoratra maro izay tonga voalohany tany Roanda no nanao toy izany teo ambany fiarovan'ny RPF. |
68 | Kagame was always (and is still) media/PR conscious. | Tompon'andraikitry ny haino aman-jery / PR foana i Kagame hatramin'izay (sy hatramin'izao) . |
69 | He knew from the beginning that he would never win the battle without the latter's help. | Fantany hatrany am-boalohany fa tsy handresy ny ady mihitsy izy raha tsy misy ny fanampiana avy amin'ireo. |
70 | Journalists were ushered to strategic locations where the worst crimes had been committed, and they were fed with a simplified and protected version of the Rwandan history-which glorified the Tutsi army while demonizing their opponents. | Nentina tamin'ireo toerana saro-pady nitrangana heloka bevava ratsy indrindra ireo mpanao gazety, ka nomena ireo dika notsotsorina sy narovana tamin'ny tantara Roande - izay manome voninahitra ny tafika Tutsi raha nanapotika ireo mpifanandrina taminy izy ireo . |
71 | According to Nkunda, disputing the “protected version” of the Rwandan story is a crime: | Raha ny fahitan'i Nkunda izany, heloka bevava ny fiadian-kevitra momba ny “dika voaaro ” amin'ny tantara Roande : |
72 | In this story, the Hutu majority are wanton killers who (with no context) turned against their innocent Tutsi neighbors and butchered them for 100 days. | Ao anatin'io tantara io, mpamono olona fahatany ny ankamaroan'ireo Hutu izay ( tsy amin'antony) nivadika tamin'ireo Tutsi mpiray vody rindrina taminy tsy manan-tsiny ka namono azy ireo nandritra ny 100 andro. |
73 | The RPF is the army that fought to stop these killings. | Ny RPF no tafika niady hanajanona izany vono-olona izany. |
74 | 16 years later, this story is still widely mimicked, and is used to justify Kagame's despotism and to feign off any criticism. | 16 taona taty aoriana, mbola miparitaka ihany ity tantara ity , ary ampiasaina hanamarina ny fanjakan'olon-tokana ataon'i Kagame sy hanakonana izay mety ho fanakianana . |
75 | It is important to note that serious questions have been raised on the story's accuracy. | Zva-dehibe ny ampahatsiahivana fa maro ireo fanontaniana manan-danja nipoitra ny amin'izay tena fahamarinan'ny tantara. |
76 | Counteracting the story remains the highest crime in Rwanda. | Mipetraka ho heloka bevava any Roanda ny filazana mifanohitra amin'ilay tantara . |
77 | For instance, it is illegal to question the story of President Habyarimana's assassination, to claim (despite the overwhelming evidence) that the RPF was involved in serious crimes against humanity. | Voararan'ny lalàna ohatra ny manontany ny mikasika ny famonoana ny Filoha Habyarimana , ny manamafy (na dia hita mibaribary aza ny zava-misy ) fa voarohirohy ao anatin'ny heloka bevava goavana amin'ny maha-olombelona ny RPF . |
78 | Needless to say, it is in Kagame's interest and that of the RPF elites that this story is protected and given credence. | Tsy mila tenenina intsony, fa tombontsoan'i Kagame sy ireo manam-pahaizana RPF raha arovana sy omena lanjany izany tantara izany . |
79 | It is therefore no wonder that the greatest enemy to the RPF establishment is anyone who dares refute or question the story. | Tsy lazaina intsony izany fa mpifanandrina lehibe amin'ny rafi-pitantanana RPF izay rehetra sahy milaza fa diso io tantara io na manontany ny mikasika izany . |
80 | Rwandan election took place against the backdrop of some unsettling events, observes Will Jones: | Notanterahana tao anatin'ny tranga feno tsy fitoniana ny fifidianana Roande , hoy i Will Jones nandinika: |
81 | * Much of the opposition crumbled: Victoire Ingabire (remember her?) was arrested, and the Canadian avowed revisionist Peter Erlinder was sent in to be her lawyer, and was promptly arrested too. | *Betsaka ireo mpanohitra no potika : nogadraina i Victoire Ingabire (tadidy izy ?) , ary notendrena hiaro azy ny mpisolo vava mpandalina Kanadiana Peter Erlinder nefa dia nogadraina tampoka koa. |
82 | For a very interesting take on what the hell it is with Canadians and genocide denial, see here. | Jereo eto raha mila ny fifandraisana mahaliana amin'ny Kanadiana sy ny fandàvana vono-olona. |
83 | Here she is adding her ever-mature voice to the debate (brink of collapse? | Manampy ny feony matotra amin'ny adihevitra ihany koa izy eto ( amoron-tevana? omeo fotoana kely aho hakàna aina ). |
84 | Give me a break). Another party collapsed into internal infighting (allegedly the result of RPF interference). | Rava noho ny ady an-trano ny antoko hafa (ambara ihany koa fa vokatry ny fitsabahan'ny RPF ). |
85 | The registered opposition gamely ran a couple of rallies, but when Kigaliwire went along to this Liberal Party rally, everyone there said they were voting for Kagame anyway. | Nitondra tamin-kerim-po ireo fihaonana roa ny mpanohitra voasoratra anarana ara-dalàna, nefa nilaza ny rehetra fa tsy maintsy hifidy an'i Kagame ihany izy ireo raha nahita an'i Kigaliwire nandeha tamin'ny fihaonan'ny antoko Liberaly . |
86 | * People are dead: Andre Kagwa Rwisekera, deputy of the Democratic Green Party, was found by a river with his head nearly hacked off. Jean Leonard Rugambage, acting editor of the suspended newspaper Umuvuguzi, was shot dead in front of his home in Kigali. | *Maty ny olona: hita teny amoron-drano i Andre Kagwa Rwisekera, solombavambahoaka avy ao amin'ny antoko Democratic Green Party, ary zara raha nisy kely nihazona tsy ho tapaka sisa ny lohany. Maty nisy nitifitra teo anoloan'ny tranony any Kigali i Jean Leonard Rugambage, mpanoratra mavitrika ao amin'ny gazety naato Umuvuguzi. |
87 | Paul Kagame blames foreign dissidents, as usual. | Manome tsiny ireo mpanohitra vahiny toy ny efa fanaony mahazatra azy i Paul Kagame . |
88 | * At least one other is lucky not to be dead: Former General Faustin Kayumba Nyamwasa was shot near his Johannesburg home. | * Fahafaharatsiny dia iray hafa aloha no tsara vintana tsy maty : i Faustin Kayumba Nyamwas, Jeneraly teo aloha izay voatifitra teo akaikin'ny tranony tany Johannesburg . |
89 | I've blogged a bit about Kayumba before, but I'd rather leave comment on this and the other killings to another full post. | Nitoraka bilaogy kely mikasika an'i Kayumba aho teo aloha teo, fa naleoko andrasana ho an'ireo lahatsoratra feno ireo tsikera mikasika izany sy ireo vono-olona hafa . |
90 | * Former RPF insider and now exiled dissident Patrick Karegyeya is now openly calling for violence. | * Miantso an-karihary ho amin'ny herisetra amin'izao fotoana izao i Patrick Karegyeya mpikambana fahiny tao amin'ny RPF taloha ary mpanohitra any an-tsesitany ankehitriny. |
91 | Kagame's response was less than confidence-inspiring: ‘those that want war, we will give war' | Tsy ampy araka izay nandrasana ny valintenin'i Kagame : ‘ ho an'ireo izay mila ady, omenay ady izy ireo ‘ ‘ |
92 | He also looks at international coverage of Rwandan election: | Mijery ireo tatitra iraisam-pirenena ihany koa mikasika ny fifidianana Roande izy : |
93 | However, and interestingly, the international coverage is completely different. | Na izany aza, ary ny mahagaga, hafa mihitsy ny tatitra iraisam-pirenena. |
94 | For a start, the guardian's coverage has been uniformly brilliant (kudos to Gavin Illsley for spotting this excellent piece on Rwanda's Western PR firm) and detailed, which is itself new. | Hanombohana azy, tokana tena tsara ny tatitry ny The Guardian (voninahitra ho an'i Gavin Illsley noho ny fanehoana ity tantara mendrika mikasika ny orinasa PR tandrefana any Roanda ity ) sady amin'ny antsipiriany, izay vaovao rahateo . |
95 | In general, though, there is a critical tone to the journalism coming out of the international press which is completely new (see the New York Times, the Huffington Post, the Observer, and the Mail and Guardian for details). | Amin'ny ankapobeny, na izany aza, misy feona-tsikera ho an'ny asa fanaovan-gazety avy amin'ny fanaovan-gazety iraisam-pirenena izay tena vaovao tanteraka ( jereo ny New York Times, ny Huffington Post, ny Observer, ary ny Mail sy ny Guardian ho amin'ny antsipirihany ). |
96 | More on why the wheels might be coming off the international charm offensive in a later post, but for a start, we might look to the brave new breed of critical blogs out there, such as Democracy Watch, Coloured Opinions, and Texas in Africa (this one is particular is great). | Betsaka kokoa mikasika ny antony mahatonga ireo fiodinana ho fandresen-dahatra avy amin'ny iraisam-pirenena tsy tafita no ao anatin'ireo lahatsoratra izay nivoaka farany, fa hanombohana azy aloha, tokony hijery ireo karazana blaogy vaovao mpanakiana sahisahy izay any ivelany isika , toy ny Democracy Watch, Coloured Opinions, sy ny Texas any Afrika (misongadina manokana ity iray ity ). |
97 | Final important thought: the ever-brilliant Jason Stearns points out that in Rwanda, as in many places, elections are a distraction from politics, not the thing itself. | Hevitra lehibe farany: maneho ilay manam-pahaizana Jason Stearns fa any Roanda , toy ny amin'ny toerana maro, fialamboly avy amin'ireo mpanao politika ny fifidianana, fa tsy ny fifidianana araka ny tena heviny mihitsy . |
98 | Finally, according to Will Jones, the most important news of all concerning Rwanda is this: Rwanda has it's first ice-cream parlour! | Farany , raha ny fahitan'i Will Jones azy, ity no tena zava-dehibe indrindra amin'ireo vaovao rehetra mikasika an'i Roanda : manana ny toerana voalohany tsara indrindra (toeram-pivoriana vita amin'y ranomandry) i Roanda ! |
