5 | On February 9, 2013, some 200 armed Filipinos belonging to the so-called Royal Sulu Army occupied parts of Lahad Datu in Sabah (North Borneo) and declared ownership of the whole territory in the name of the Sulu Sultan Jamalul Kiram III. | Tamin'ny 9 Febroary 2013, Filipiana 200 mitam-piadiana mpikambana ao amin'ilay antsoina hoe Tafi-panjakàn'i Sulu no nanjanaka ny Lahad Datu any Sabah (Borneo Avaratra) ary nanambara tamin'ny anaran'ny Soltàna Sulu, Jamalul Kiram III, fa azy ireo tany ireo. |
6 | Sabah has been part of the Malaysian Federation since 1963. | Sabah dia tao anatin'ny Federasiona Maleziana efa hatramin'ny taona 1963. |
7 | But the Sulu Sultanate, which is located in southern Philippines, has continued to assert its historical and proprietary claims over the territory. | Fa ny Soltanà Sulu, izay any Filipina Atsimo, dia nanohy ireo fitakiny ara-tantara sy ny fananana ity faritany ity. |
8 | Moreover, the Philippines has yet to officially drop its claim that Sabah is part of its territory. | Ankoatr'izay, Filipina dia mbola tsy nametraka am-pahibemaso ny fitakiany ny fananany ny faritanin'i Sabah. |
9 | For three weeks, the Malaysian government asked the armed Filipinos in Lahad Datu to surrender. | Mandritra ny roa tokom-bolana, ny governemanta Maleziana dia nangataka ireo Filipiana mitam-basy tany Lahad Datu mba hilavo lefona. |
10 | But finally on March 5, the military attacked the group and ended the occupation. | Nefa tamin'ny 5 Martsa, nanafika ity vondrona ity ireo tafika ary namàrana ilay fanjanahana. |
11 | The clash and subsequent military operations reportedly led to the killing of more than 60 individuals, including 8 members of the Malaysian police. | Ny fifandonana sy ireo hetsiky ny tafika taorian'izay dia voalaza fa niteraka famoizana ain'olona maherin'ny 60, ka anisan'izany ny mpitandro filaminana 8 Maleziana. |
12 | The Malaysian Ministry of Foreign Affairs was quick to brand the armed Filipinos as terrorists. | Tsy ela ny Minisitry ny Raharaha Ivelany Maleziana dia nilaza ireo Filipiana nitam-basy ho mpampihorohoro. |
13 | The Philippine government - which is currently finalizing a peace agreement with Muslim separatists in the southern part of the country - also condemned the occupation. | Nanameloka ny fanjanahana ihany koa ny governemanta Filipiana - izay mamarana fifanaraham-pilaminana amin'izao fotoana izao miaraka amin'ireo Silamo mpitaky fizakàn-tena any amin'ny faritra atsimon'ny firenena. |
14 | President Benigno S. | Ny filoha Benigno S. |
15 | Aquino III accused “persons of interest” associated with his predecessor's administration of “conspiring” to spark trouble in Sabah: | Aquino III dia nanameloka ireo “olona liana” miray loha amin'ny fitantanan'ilay nialoha azy tamin'ny “firaisana tsikombakomba” hitarihana korontana tany Sabah: |
16 | We are aware that there are those who conspired to bring us to this situation - a situation that has no immediate solutions. | Fantatray fa misy ireo miray tsikombakomba mba hitondràna anay amin'izao toe-draharaha izao - raharaha izay tsy misy vahaolana tonga dia vonona eo noho eo. |
17 | Some of their identities are clear to us, while others continue to skulk in the shadows. | Ny sasany amin'izy ireo dia fantatsika, ny hafa kosa mbola mihaodihaody anaty haizina. |
18 | To the people who are behind this, even now, I tell you: you will not succeed. | Ho an'ireo olona ambadik'izao, na amin'izao fotoana izao aza, hoy aho mantsy anareo hoe: tsy hahomby ianareo. |
19 | All those who have wronged our country will be held accountable. | Tompon'andraikitra daholo ireo rehetra nanimba ny firenenay. |
20 | Interestingly, the Malaysian Prime Minister Najib Razak has yet to dismiss the theory that Malaysian opposition politicians have conspired with the Sulu Sultan in order to destabilize the country and bring down the ruling coalition ahead of this year's general elections. | Mahagaga fa tsy mbola nolavin'ny Praiminisitra Maleziana Najib Razak ny fanambaràna fa ireo mpanao politika mpanohitra dia niray loha tamin'ny Soltàna Sulu mba hanakorontanana ny firenena ary handrodànana ny fiaraha-mitantana fitondràna mialohan'ny fifidianana faobe amin'ity taona ity. |
21 | Filipino activists protest the alleged human rights abuses suffered by Filipino residents in Sabah. | Filipiana mafana fo manohitra ireo fanitsakitsahana zon'olombelona ataon'ireo Filipiana monina any Sabah. |

23 | Humanitarian Crisis | Olana amin'ny maha-olombelona |
24 | The Lahad Datu standoff also sparked a humanitarian crisis after scores of Sabah residents with Filipino ancestry were arrested and more than 1,500 migrant Filipinos sought refuge in the Philippines. | Niteraka kirizy teo amin'ny maha-olombelona ihany koa ireo olana saro-bahàna tany Lahad Datu rehefa nisy mponin'i Sabah maromaro manana fiaviana Filipiana nosamborina ary Filipiana mpifindra monina maherin'ny 1500 nitady fialofana tany Filipina. |
25 | There are also allegations of human rights abuses committed by the Malaysian security forces, a claim that was strongly denied by the Kuala Lumpur government. | Misy koa ny filazàna fa manitsakitsaka zon'olombelona ireo mpitandro filaminana Maleziana, fanambaràna izany nolavin'ny governemantan'i Kuala Lumpur mafy dia mafy. |
26 | The Sabah Coalition of Human Rights Organisations raised additional concerns about the impact of the military operation on Sabah's residents: | Niresaka momba ny akon'ny hetsiky ny tafika tamin'ireo mponin'i Sabah ihany koa ny Fiombonan'ireo Fikambanana Mpiaro Zon'olombelona any Sabah: |
27 | Militarisation and the presence of security forces have created many roadblocks restricting the movements of the indigenous peoples in their foraging for food, harvesting, hunting and fishing. | Niteraka sakana maro ny hetsika miaramila sy ny fisian'ny mpitandro filaminana, manakana ny fivezivezen'ireo olona teratany amin'ny fitadiavany sakafo, fiotazana, fihazàna ary fanjonoana. |
28 | The limitations on travel will result on food shortages for them. | Hiteraka tsy fahampian-tsakafo ho azy ireo izany famerana ny fivezivezena izany. |
29 | Indeed, the Sabah question is likely to pose problems for both Malaysia and the Philippines for the foreseeable future. | Araka izany dia miteraka olana ny resaka Sabah, tsy ho an'ny Malezia ihany fa ho an'ny Filipina koa, ho an'ny hoavy tsy ho ela. |
30 | For instance, Carol Araullo of the left-leaning Bayan coalition accuses Aquino of abandoning the Philippines' claims over the territory: | Ohatra, Carol Araullo avy ao amin'ny fiaraha-mitantana Bayan miandany havia dia manameloka an'i Aquino ho tsy niraharaha ireo fitakian'ny Filipina ny faritany: |
31 | Many are beginning to surmise that the Aquino regime is not all convinced that the Sabah claim has merit and his description of it as a “hopeless cause” is not just a slip of the tongue indicating “ignorance or incompetence” as Sultan Jamalul Kiram III suspects, but his regime's point of view and even policy on the matter. | Maro ireo manomboka milaza fa tsy resy lahatra mihitsy ny fitondràna Aquino fa mitombina ny fitakian'i Sabah ary tsy hoe teny voatandrina ihany ilay nilazàna izany ho “tsy avotra intsony”, mampiseho ny “tsifahalalàna na tsifahaizana” araka ny ahian'ny Soltàna Jamalul Kiram III, fa fomba fijerin'ny fitondràny ary fitsipika momba ilay raharaha mihitsy aza. |
32 | R Kengadharan raises these questions for the Malaysian government: | R Kengadharan dia mametraka ireto fanontaniana ireto ho an'ny fitondràna Maleziana: |
33 | How did the armed intruders enter our shores without the knowledge of our navy? | Ahoana ny fomba nidiran'ireo mpanafika mitam-piadiana ny morontsiraka nefa tsy nahalala izany akory ny tafika an-dranomasintsika? |
34 | What has happened to our domestic and regional intelligence services? | Inona no nahazo an'ireo sampam-pitsikilovana ato amintsika sy any amin'ny faritany? |
35 | Who has been providing the self-proclaimed sultan of Sulu arms? | Iza no namatsy fitaovam-piadiana an'ilay Sulu misora-tena ho soltàna? |
36 | Who is providing guerrilla training for the armed intruders in Sulu? | Iza no manome fampiofanana fiadiana ho an'ireo mpanafika mitam-basy any Sulu? |
37 | To avert a similar crisis in the future, perhaps the time has come for the leaders of Malaysia and the Philippines to settle once and for all the Sabah issue. | Mba hisorohana ny olana sahala amin'izany any aoriana, mety hoe tonga ny fotoana ho an'ireo mpitondra any Malezia sy Filipina mba hamahàna amin'izay ny olan'i Sabah, indray mandeha tsy miverina. |
