1 | Madagascar's bloggers ambivalent about Sichuan earthquake aid | Madagasikara : Mizarazara hevitra ireo mpiblaogy mikasika ny fanampiana ireo tra-boin'ny horohorontany any Sichuan |
2 | The Malagasy government volunteered to help the international aid effort for the earthquake victims in the province of Sichuan, China. | Nanolotra fanampiana ho fandraisana anjara amin'ny fiaraha-mientana iraisam-pirenena ho fanohanana ireo tra-boin'ny horohorontany any Sichuan, any Shina, ny governemanta Malagasy. |
3 | The immense proportions of the humanitarian disaster prompted the government to donate $100,000 USD to the Chinese ambassador Wo Ruidi in Madagascar for the rescue relief effort (fr) | Ny halehiben'ny voina sy izay fahasimbana dia nanosika ny governemanta hanome lelavola $100,000 USD hoan'ny masoivoho Shinoa Wo Ruidi any Madagasikara ho fandraisana anjara amin'izany ezaka iombonana izany. |
4 | The Malagasy blogosphere had mixed reactions to this donation, despite unanimously recognizing the sadness of a catastrophe of this magnitude, citing that more than 70% of the population still lives below the poverty line, there is a global food crisis and some regions in Madagascar are still trying to recover from the destruction caused by the hurricane season. | Mizarazara ny blaogasyfera manaoloana izao tolo-bola izao, na dia samy miaiky fa sady tena goavana no mampalahelo tokoa izao voina nitranga tany Shina izao, ny fiheverana fa mbola mihoatry ny 70% tahan'ireo Malagasy miaina ambanin'ny fetra-fahantrana [nofaritan'ny Firenena Mikambana], ny fahitana fa manambana ny kere sady mbola maro ireo faritra any Madagasikara izay tsy mbola nitraka taorian'ny faharavana nateraky ny fandalovan'ny rivomahery farany teo. |
5 | Tomavana, who also translates for GV Malagasy, posted on the blog, Malagasy Miray: | Tomavana, izay sady mpandikatenin'ny GV Malagasy rahateo, no nanapariaka tao amin'ny Malagasy Miray : |
6 | Everyday life is a struggle for the Malagasy population when it comes to cost of living: the increase of the cost of cooking oil, gas price, daily power outage and cyclones. | “Efa isan'andro vaky izao no miatrika ny fidangan'ny vidim-piainana, ny fisondrotry ny vidin'ny menaka, ny solika, ny “delestazy” efa zary mahazatra sy ireo rivomahery miverimberina isan-taona, ny vahoaka Malagasy. |
7 | The contrast is edifying when one realizes that the excuse inevitably invoked for the lack of efficient response to all these problems is the lack of funds, and then we showcase our international solidarity with China [with financial help]. | Ohatry ny mifangarika be ihany ilay tsy fahampian'ny vola hoenti-manana izay fialantsiny ambeti-dresaky ny fitondrana manoatra ny tsy fahatanterahan'ireo vahaolana hany mba atolony manoitra ireny voina ireny, sy ity fahalalahan-tànana iraisam-pirenena ity. |
8 | From what I know, this donation does not come from Ranjeva [the Minister of Foreign Affairs] or president Ravalomanana ‘s personal money but from taxpayers' money, right ? | Fa angaha moa vola tao am-paosin-dRanjeva [ministry ny Raharaham-bahiny nanolotra ny vola tamin'ny anaran'ny fanjakana sy ny vahoaka Malagasy manontolo] na an'ny filoham-pirenena Ravalomanana [Ra8] io vola io, fa tsy volam-panjakana, izany hoe volam-bahoaka ?” |
9 | Tomavana's post induced a few reactions in the comment section: Manalina agrees with Tomavana (fr) | Niteraka hafatra vitsy nanoina azy, izany lahatsoratr'i Tomavana izany : mitovy hevitra aminy i Manalina : |
10 | If you are heartless then I am too…we all know what this [donation] is all about. | “Raha tsy misy fiantrana ianao, dia izaho koa izany torak'izany … isika samy mahafantatra izay tena hevitr'iny fanomezana iny.” |
11 | The Malagasy government is working hard to strengthen the ties with China. | Miezaka manamafy ny fiaraha-miasa amin'Shinoa ny fanjakana Malagasy. |
12 | In recent news, President Ravalomanana traveled to Shanghai in May and is on record for wanting to “expand collaboration with China”. | Vao namangy tany Shanghai vaotamin'ny volana May lasa teo ny filoham-pirenena Ravalomanana Marc nikaroka izay “làlana hampitomboana ny fiaraha-miasa amin'i Shina”. |
13 | The Malagasy government also was also prompt to support China's handling of the riots in Lhasa in March and state that they would participate in the Beijing Olympics whether a boycott is in place or not. | Ny governemanta Malagasy koa dia isan'ireo izay navitrika nanohana izay fitantanan'ny fitondrana Shinoa ny hetsika fanoherana izay nitranga tany Lhasa tamin'ny volana March sady nanamafy ny fandraisanay anjara amin'ny lalao Ôlaimpika hotanterahina any Beijing na dia atao aza hoe hisy fanaovana fahirano [izany lalao olaimpika izany] avy amin'ny firenena hafa. |
14 | Tattum believes that charity ought to start at home and Maintikely says that her grandmother is still waiting for the roof and the walls of her home to be replaced after the latest cyclone. | Tattum dia mihevitra fa manomboka amin'ny tena no tokony iantombohan'ny fiantrana [mahantra be fiantrana] ary i Maintikely kosa dia mitatitra fa taorian'ny fandalovan'iny rivomahery iny dia mbola miandry izay ahatongavan'ny fanampiana ahafahany manolo ny tafo sy manarina ny rindrin'ny tranony hatramin'izao ny renibeny. |
15 | Maintykely also wrote in her personal blog that the president was guilty of a blatant conflict of interest when he protected the price of oil from going up with state subsidies when he owns the company that provides most of Malagasy cooking oil. | Tsikerain'i Maintikely any amin'ny blaoginy koa ny maha-meloka ny filoha izay tsy menatra manolotra fanampiana ny tenany amin'ny fanohanany ny vidin'ny menaka tsy hiakatra amin'ny alalan'ny fanampiana avy amin'ny fanjakana, satria izy tenany [Ra8] no mitazona ny ankamaroan'ny tolotra menaka amidy any Madagasikara. |
16 | Dotmg, on the other hand, does not understand all the negative reactions to the act of solidarity by the Malagasy government (mg): | Dotmg kosa dia tsy miray hevitra amin'izany sady zendana amin'izay tsikeran'ny sasany amin'ny fiaraha-mientan'ny governemanta Malagasy : |
17 | When people in your region is hit by disaster, do you not visit them to offer your condolences and when you do, do you only put a small amount of money in your donation because they are wealthier than you and they would not notice the difference anyway ? | Rehefa misy andrarezina lavo ve ao amin'ny tanànanareo dia tsy mandeha mamangy ianareo, na mandeha mamangy ihany fa tsy mitondra solondranombary tsy masaka, sa manome ihany fa fanahy iniana atao kely satria izy aza manankarena noho ianao, ka tsy ho hitan'ny vazan'ainan'ny hareny izay kely hataonao anaty valopy? |
18 | Vola thinks that the shocking part is the fact that 100,000 USD is really not enough when one considers the fact that 70,000 people died and many more are still not accounted for. | Vola indray mihevitra fa ny mahamenatra amin'ity raharaha ity dia ny hakelin'ny vola 100,000 USD raha oharina amin'ny halehiben'ny voina sy ny hamaron'ireo aina 70,000 nafoy, sady maro mbola tra-boina. |
19 | If it was meant as symbolic gesture of solidarity, she asked, then wouldn't a symbolic amount be more appropriate? | Ary raha noheverina ho hetsika ihany izany fa tsy vola natao hanampy, tsy tsaratsara kokoa ve raha nahena lavitra ? |
20 | | Mpiblaogy Malagasy maro no miara-mientana ho fanangonam-bola ho famatsiana ireo tra-boina nohon'ny horohorontany tany Shina sy ny Rivomahery tany Myanmar amin'ny alalan'ny vohikalam-pihaonana Facebook. |
21 | | Lohahevitra hafa izay ahitana ny fiaraha-mientana iraisam-pirenen'ny mpiblaogy Malagasy koa ny antson'i Diana, mpianatra amin'ny sekoly ambarataonga faharoa any Mahajanga, izay manam-paniriana ny hanampy zaza teraka sembana sy ny fianakaviany mba ahazahoany fitsaboana tandrify sy ara-dàlana. |
22 | | Ny diaspora Malagasy any Italy, Frantsa, Kanada sy Afrika Atsimo no indray miara-mientana hanangom-bola ho famatsiana ny saram-pitsaboana sy fandidiana izany zaza izany sy izay havana hanara-dia azy any an-drenivotra, Antananarivo [mandritra ny faharetan'izany fitsaboana izany]. |
23 | Many Malagasy bloggers have been actively raising fund for the earthquake victims in China and Cyclone victims in Myanmar through Facebook. | Naharaisana hafatra roa izay ampitaina eto ity lahatsoratr'i Lova ity. Stephen mihevitra fa mety ho marika fahendrena ny fikatsahana fihavanana amin'i Shina : |
24 | Another topic of international solidarity that got the Malagasy blogosphere talking was the call for help from Diana, a high school student in Mahajanga, who wants to help a baby born with a congenital malformation and his family get the proper medical treatment. | Asa tokoa lahy izay tena marina … fa i Shina koa anie ka firenena isan'ireo izay miroborobo fatratra amin'ny lafiny iraisam-pirenena e, ary ny fihavanana amin'ny firenena toa an'i Shina dia mety ho porofom-pahendrena amin'izao fotoam-pahasarotana iraisam-pirenena izao. Eric hu indray dia maneho ny fankasitrahany ny hetsiky ny Malagasy : |
25 | The Malagasy Diaspora in Italy, France, Canada and South-Africa came together to raise funds for the operation and transport of the baby and his caregiver to the capital city, Antananarivo. | Misy ohabolana Shinoa iray fanta-daza izay manao hoe “滴水之恩当涌泉相报” (teten-drano tokana voaray, renirano amin'ny taom-pahavaratra no tokony hanonerana azy) Misaotra ry namana [tsy mahafoy], tsy ho adinonay [na oviana na oviana izao hetsika] izao. |
