1 | Kenya, Somalia: Twitter War – Kenyan Army Versus Al Shabaab | Kenià/Somalia: Ady Ao Amin'ny Twitter Ifanandrinan'ny Tafika Keniana Sy Ny Al Shabaab |
2 | Kenya's military incursion into Somalia against the militant group Al Shabaab dubbed “Operation Linda Nchi” (Swahili for “Operation Defend the Country”) has turned into Twitter war. | Nivadika ady tao amin'ny Twitter ny fanafihan'ny miaramila Keniana tao Somalia ireo vondrona mpitolona Al Shabaab antsoina hoe “Tetikady Linda Nchi” “Operation Linda Nchi” (Swahili “Tetikady ho Fiarovana ny Firenena”). |
3 | This came after the official military spokesperson Major E ChirChir going by the Twitter handle @MajorEChirchir posted old photos claiming that a Kenyan Al Shabaab recruit had been stoned to death recently by the group members because of “a difference of opinion”. | Tonga izany ady izany noho ny famoahan'ny mpitondratenin'ny miaramila Major E ChirChir sary taloha be tao amin'ny Twitter @MajorEChirchir, sary ntaolo milaza fa nisy Keniana niditra tao amin'ny Al Shabaab notorahan'ny mpikambana tao vato noho ny “hevitra tsy mitovy”. |
4 | Image of the now deleted tweet can be seen at this here | Sary efa nofafana fa azo jerena ato |
5 | It later became apparent that the photos were actually taken by a Somalian journalist in 2009 and does not even feature a Kenyan Al Shabab recruit. | Nipoitra taty aoriana fa mpanao gazety Somaliana tokoa no naka izany sary izany tamin'ny taona 2009 ary tsy mba nanana sarina Kenyana ao amin'ny Al Shabab akory. |
6 | The Kenyan military spokesperson has displayed a sense of responsibility by acknowledging responsibility and stating in one tweet: | Nampiseho fandraisan'andraikitra avy hatrany ny mpitondra tenin'ny tafika Kenyana izay niaiky fa tompon'andraikitra amin'izay lazainy ary nanambara toy izao tamin'ny tweet iray hoe: |
7 | Official logo of the Kenyan army. | Sary famantarana manokana ofisialy an'ny tafika Kenyana. |
8 | Photo source: @MajorEChirchir. | Sary avy amin'ny: @MajorEChirchir. |
9 | | @MajorEChirchir: #PicturePosting Andraikitro ny fandefasana sary taloha be, tamin'ny talata no nanatanterahana ny famonoana. |
10 | Reacting to @MajorEChirchir's tweets, @SelfMadeAbdi asks: | Amin'ny Zoma mety mbola hisy. |

21 | You see what it does for the other side? | Fantatrao ny dikany eo amin'ny ankilany? |
22 | Twitter user @geoffreyork blasts @MajorEChirchir by revealing: | Mpisera Twitter @geoffreyork nanohana @MajorEChirchir ka nilaza hoe: |
23 | @geoffreyork: Here are the 2009 photos from a British newspaper: http://bit.ly/yDYRn4 Compare them to Major C's tweeted photos. | @geoffreyork: Ity sary tamin'ny taona 2009 avy amin'ny gazety Britanika: http://bit.ly/yDYRn4 Ampitahao amin'ny sary tweet nalefan'ny Major. |
24 | Identical. | Mitovy. |
25 | The Harakat Al-Shabaab Al Mujahideen Twitter page, @HMSpress, took a few quips at the Kenya Defence Forces stating: | Pejy Twitter an'ny Harakat Al-Shabaab Al Mujahideen, @HMSpress, namazivazy kely ny Mpitandro ny Filaminana ao Kenya hoe: |
26 | @HMSpress: For those interested: the incident took place in 2009, the man wasn't #Kenyan, it wasn't in Kismayo, and it wasn't HSM http://www.dhanbaal.com/main/index.php?module=News&func=display&sid=272 | @HMSpress: Ho an'ireo izay liana: tamin'ny taona 2009 no nitranga ny raharaha, tsy #Kenyana ilay lehilahy, tsy tao Kismayo izany, ary tsy HSM http://www.dhanbaal.com/main/index.php?module=News&func=display&sid=272 |
27 | @HMSpress: They seem unsophisticated, even in their propaganda campaign. | @HMSpress: Somary tsy dia be filirony loatra izy ireo, na dia tamin'ny fampielezan-kevitra aza. |
28 | A simple Google search would have saved them such an embarrassment | Fikarohana tsotra ao amin'ny Google dia mety ahavonjy izao fahasahiranana izao. |
29 | Kenyans and other interested persons responded to the whole fiasco and here is a sample of their tweets: | Kenyana sy olona liana hafa no namaly izany olana rehetra izany, ity sombiny tamin'ny tweet nalefan'izy ireo: |
30 | Tech Blogger @RobertAlai comments: | Mpamaham-bolongana teknisiana @RobertAlai nilaza hoe: |
31 | @RobertAlai: @MajorEChirchir we are waiting for your answers. | @RobertAlai: @MajorEChirchir miandry ny valinteny avy aminao izahay. |
32 | You tried to fool us. | Mitady hamitaka anay ianao. |
33 | We need reality not faked scenes | Mila mahafantatra ny zava-misy marina izahay fa tsy zava-noforonina |
34 | Okwaroh states: | Okwaroh naneho hevitra hoe: |
35 | @Okwaroh: @MajorEChirchir and to what extent should we tolerate your ‘omissions'. | @Okwaroh: @MajorEChirchir hatraiza no tokony handeferanay ny ‘fanadinoanao'. |
36 | This raises loads of questions about the credibility of your WORD | Mampametram-panontaniana marobe ny fahazoa-mitoky ny TENINAO |
37 | Responding to the misleading photos, one Kenyan Twitter user, @Jkisioh, coins a new terms “Twicide” and asks: | Fanehoan-kevitra momba ilay sary diso toerana, mpisera Twitter Kenyana iray @Jkisioh, nampiasa fiteny hafakely “Twicide” ary nanontany hoe: |
38 | @JKisioh: Has @MajorEChirchir committed twicide? | @JKisioh: nanao twicide ve @MajorEChirchir ? |
39 | The Kenyan military spokesperson may have thought that the tweet would be easily consumed by unsuspecting netizens and believed as gospel truth. | Nihevitra angamba ilay mpitondratenin'ny tafika Kenyana mihinana amam-bolony izay lazaina aminy ny mpiserasera ka hino izay lazainy ho toy ny teny masina. |
40 | The veracity of his statements are not only being put to test by the Al Shabaab and its sympathizers but also by Kenyan citizens as “Tweet war” and social media warfare continue. | Tsy ny Al Shabaab sy ny mpanohana azy ihany no nanakiana izay mety ho fahamarinan'ny zavatra nolazainy ireo fa ny mpiserasera Kenyana toy ny “Adin'ny Tweet” ary mbola mitohy ny ady am-balantserasera. |
41 | The Kenyan capital, Nairobi, saw two deadly grenade attack incidents linked to Al Shabaab last year: one at a popular entertainment club and the other at a crowded bus stop in downtown Nairobi. | Tao an-drenivohitr'i Kenya, Nairobi, tamin'ny herintaona dia nahitana fanafihana amin'ny grenady roa izay misy ifandraisany amin'ny Al Shabaab: ny iray tao amin'ny trano fialam-boly malaza ary ny iray teo amin'ny toerana fiantsonan'ny fiara mpitatitra be olona ao afovoan'i Nairobi. |
