1 | Bloggers React to Gunfights and Change in Government in Madagascar | Ny tafan'ny mpamaham-bolongana tamin'ny fifampitifirana sy ny fanovana governemanta |
2 | On May 20, Antananarivo was the scene of deadly gunfights between 21 FIGN elements, the elite National Gendarmes Intervention Force (FIGN), and the soldiers of the governmental EMMOREG. | Nisy fifampitifirana nampandriaka ny ra teo amin'ny FIGN izay sangan'ny avy amin'ny zandary mpampandry ny fahalemana miisa 21 sy avy amin'ny mpitandro ny filaminana manoa ny fitondrana mivondrona ao amin'ny EMMOREG. |
3 | As reported by Voice of America : | Hoy ny tatitry ny Voice of America hoe: |
4 | “Officials in Madagascar's capital say one person was killed and five others wounded when rival security forces exchanged gunfire Thursday. | Navoaka ofisialy teto an-drenivohitr'i Madagasikara fa olona iray no maty ary dimy hafa no naratra nandritra ny fifampitifirana teo amin'ny samy hery mitam-piadiana nifandrafy tamin'ny alakamisy. |
5 | Witnesses say shooting broke out when army and military police (gendarme) forces confronted members of an elite police unit that was reported to be protesting abuses by their superiors. | Ny vavolombelona nanatri-maso nilaza fa nipoaka ny fifampitifirana rehefa nifanatrika tamin'ny tafika sy ny herin'ny zandary ireo sangany lazaina fa manohitra ny fihoaram-pahefan'ny lehibeny. |
6 | Military police Colonel Richard Ravalomanana said 21 members of the unit were involved in the clash and remained holed up in their barracks. | Nilaza ny kolonely avy amin'ny zandary fa 21 ny isan'ireo tafiditra amin'ity fisintahana ity sy mamahatra ao amin'ny tobiny. |
7 | He said the man killed was a military police officer.” | Nolazainy moa fa avy amin'ny zandary ilay maty. |
8 | The FIGN had intended to protect an anti-Rajoelina rally, during which the HFM would be present. | Ny tanjon'ny FIGN moa dia ny hiaro ny famoriana ireo mpanohitra an-dRajoelina, izay atrehin'ny HMF (Hetsiky ny Mpitondra Fivavahana). |
9 | The day before the gunfights, the FIGN had called for people to come attend the rally, saying they would ensure manifestants' safety. | Ny andro mialoha ny fifampitifirana manko dia niantso ny olona hanatrika ny fivoriana ny FIGN ary nilaza izy ireo fa hiaro ny mpanao fihetsiketsehana. |
10 | Citoyenne Malgache was on the scene : “ | Nanatrika izany i Citoyenne Malgache : “ |
11 | “We are watching the vehicles'movements and are listening to the exchanges of gunfire. | “Nojerena ny fivezivezen'ny fiara ary nohenoina ny fifampitifirana. |
12 | The FIS's car comes back (with another shot to scare us) with another SUV and an ambulance, and they climb up to Antanimora. | Hita ny fiverenan'ny fiaran'ny FIS (nanao tifi-danitra ho fampihorohoroana) niaraka tamina fiara tsy mataho-dalana iray sy fiara mpamonjy voina, ary nananika indray an'Antanimora. |
13 | This ambulance, unlike the Red Cross one which was already on site, will only drive up to the first barricade before climbing down again with the SUV (an important person to evacuate? | Tsy nitovy tamin'ilay an'ny vokovoko mena teo fa niakatra hatrany amin'ny sakana voalohany ity fiara mpamonjy voina ity (Misy debadeba halaina haingana angaha? |
14 | Would it be Lylison ? | Sao dia i Lylison ? |
15 | Note of the Author : Lylison is one of FIS's leaders. | Naotin'ny mpanoratra : iray amin'ny mpitarika ny FIS i Lylison dia nidina indray niaraka tamin'ilay fiara tsy mataho-dalana. |
16 | From our observation post, we see the SUV stop at the crossroads and the soldiers got off with their teargas weapons…to disperse the crowd, because apparently they feared another bricks attack. I do not know what we looked like but they aimed at us! | Hatreo amin'ny toerana nitazananay no nahitanay ilay 4×4 nijanona teo amin'ny sampanan-dalana sy ny fidinan'ireo miaramila tao niaraka tamin'ny fitaovam-piadiany manempotra…hanaparitahana ny olona, satria mety matahotra toraka biriky mihitsy angamba izy ireo. |
17 | The grenade fell right near by, on the balcony of a house whose owners probably did not expect to be so smoked out. | Tsy fantatro hoe tahaka ny ahoana moa izahay hatreo amin'ny toerana nijerenay fa nokendren-dry zalahy izahay! |
18 | (this house is not even situated along the road). “ Freshly arrived from the Global Voices Summit in Santiago, Avylavitra and Jentilisa report on the event. | Teo anilanay no nianjeran'ilay baomba, teo andavarangan'ny trano izay mety ho tsy nampoizin'ny mimpetraka tao izany hifonoka setroka izany. |
19 | Jentilisa thinks the mutiny was doomed. | (tsy amoron'arabe akory io trano io). “ |
20 | “I think the legalists allied to the HMF were not ready to use violent means. | |
21 | The military police who protected the manifestants should not have worked alone, but should have had outside support. | Nitatitra io raharaha io Avylavitra sy i Jentilisa izay vao tonga vao haingana avy tamin'ny Vovonan'ny Global Voices tany Santiago. |
22 | Strategy to achieve this was lacking.” | Jentilisa nieritreritra fa tsy tafa ilay fikomiana. |
23 | Avylavitra took pictures. | Avylavitra naka sary. |
24 | The soldiers' infighting was long in coming. | Hatry ny ela no nikotrika tao ity adin'ny samy hery mitam-piadiana ity. |
25 | The FIGN had found themselves at odds with Andry Rajoelina's Haute Autorite de la Transition (High Authority of Transition), the current de facto administration, which got in power last year, after a coup by Andry Rajoelina, supported by the FIS , routed elected President Marc Ravalomanana out of the country. | Hitan'ny tao amin'ny FIGN fa tsy mifankahazo amin'ny Fitondrana Avon'ny Tetezamitan'i Andry Rajoelina izy ireo. Andry Rajoelina izay hita ho mitondra ny fitantanam-panjakana amin'izao fotoana izao, nahazo ny fahefana tamin'ny herintaona, taorian'ny fanonganam-panjakana nataony, tohanan'ny FIS , nandresy ny naharoaka ny filoha voafidy Marc Ravalomanana hiala ny tanindrazana. |
26 | The FIGN's revendications were the disappearance of 500 million Malagasy ariary, financed by Marc Ravalomanana. | Ny notakian'ny FIGN moa dia ny nanjavonan'ny 500 000 000 ariary, izany nomen'i Marc Ravalomanana. |
27 | This they argue was never redistributed. | Nolazain'izy ireo moa fa tsy nozaraina mihitsy io vola io. |
28 | Another source of contention was the repression by the HAT of any public manifestation on any other space than the parking lot of Ravalomanana's looted and ravaged grocery store. | Ny loharanom-pifandirana hafa koa moa dia ny famoretana ataon'ny FAT ny fihetsiketsehana an-dalambe rehetra ankoatra ny any amin'ny fitobian'ny fiara sy anatin'ny faritry ny fivarotan-d Ravalomanana norobaina sy nopotehina. |
29 | “The mutinous group argues that General Bruno Razafindrakoto failed to redistribute some 500 million Malagasy ariary allocated to their garrison by Marc Ravalomanana in 2009. | Ny fandresen-dahatry ny vondrona nioko dia ny tsy nizarana ilay vola 500 000 000 ariary avy amin-dRavalomanana natokana ho an'ny tobiny tamin'ny 2009. |
30 | They also claim that on May 5, the FIGN had called for the replacement of the transitional government by a “military committee” which would be open to all political parties.” | Notakian'izy ireo ihany koa ny hanoloana ny governemanta ho “komity miaramila” izay misokatra amin'ny antoko politika rehetra. Source :http://en.afrik.com/article17671.html |
31 | An investigation to determine the fate of the 500 million Malagasy ariary was promised but got nowhere. | Nampanantenaina moa ny hanadihadiana ny niafaran'io vola 500 000 000 ariary io saingy tsy hita ny niafarany. |
32 | To Ndimby, a blogger, the sources of the armed forces conflict are even deeper : | Ho an'ny mpamaham-bolongana Ndimby moa dia lalina kokoa ny anton'ny fisarahana teo amin'ny vondro-tafika nifanandrina : |
33 | Didier Ratsiraka's manoeuvering, Marc Ravalomanana's incompetent handing of the armed forces, all this topped with Rajoelina's acts of destabilization to nourish his ambitions : it is not helpful to rehash all this again…To an army already weakened by decades of artisanal management by politicians, Rajoelina has introduced amongst some soldiers sacrilegeous seeds : convincing officers and soldiers that one can disobey and follow one's own wants only, under the pretext of taking one's responsibilities; teaching the political class that manipulating military groups to support a political struggle was not only allowed, but also beneficial. | Ny Paik'adin'i Didier Ratsiraka, ny tsy fahalalan'i Marc Ravalomanana ny resaka miaramila, ary izany rehetra izany nofaranan'ny paikady fanozongozonan-d Rajoelina hahafahany mamaly ny nofinofiny : tsy ilaina intsony ny hitsakotsako indray izany rehetra izany…Manoloana ny fandemena ny tafika tanatin'ny taompolo vitsivitsy nanaovan'ny mpanao politika fitantanana ‘tandrametaka' azy, no nampidiran-dRajoelina tao amin'ny miaramila sasany ny voa ota sy fady : fampinoana ny manamboninahitra sy ny miaramila fa azo atao ny mandà baiko fa manao izay saim-pantany fotsiny, dia mody lazaina hoe mandray ny andraikiny; ny fampianarana ny tontolo politika fa tsy vitan'ny hoe azo atao ny manodikodina ny lohan'ny vondrona miaramila hanohana tolona politika iray fa hahazoana tombony ihany koa. |
34 | In this context, today, is discipline still the main strength of the armed forces? | Eo anatrehan'izay sehatra izay, mbola ny fifampifehezana ve no ivon'ny tanjaky ny tafika amin'izao fotoana izao? |
35 | Are the armed forces orderly or disorderly? | Moa nitandro ny filaminana sa ny fikorontanana ny ny hery mitam-piadiana tanatin'izay herintaona izay? |
36 | How to explain all misdeeds committed by soldiers? | Ahoana ny hanazavana ireo heloka fandikan-dalàna ataon'ny miaramila sasantsasany? |
37 | What are the reasons the infamous FIS, until today without judicial existence, as acknowledged by its former chief, the lieutenant colonel Charles Randrianasoavina, has not been dismantled, while some of its members are associated with bizarre acts for groups called to establish the order? | Ahoana moa ilay FIS manana ny laza ratsiny, tsy manana fisiana araka ny lalàna hatramin'izao fotoana izao araka ny fiaiken'ny lehibeny teo aloha ny lietnà kolonely Charles Randrianasoavina, no mbola tsy noravana nefa ny sasany amin'ireo ao anatiny dia tafiditra anatina raharaha maizina sy hafahafa raha hoe mba mpitandro ny filaminana ihany? |
38 | Why can the civilian Alain Ramaroson walk around with so many soldiers at his beck and call? | Avy amin'inona moa no ahazoan'ny sivily Alain Ramaroson mandehandeha miaraka amina miaramila maro tahaka izao eo ambany fahefany? |
39 | This clash between religious leaders and the army was predictable. | Efa nampoizina ihany izao fifanandrinana eo amin'ny mpitondra fivavahana sy ny tafika izao. |
40 | Protestant Ravalomanana had taken care of Protestant churches during his presidency and many had resented this privilege, viewing that separation of State and church had been violated. | Nikarakara ny fiangonana protestanta nandritra ny fotoana nitondrany ilay protestanta Ravalomanana ary maro no nahatsapa izay tombondahiny izay, mijery fa voahosihosy ny fisarahan'ny Fanjakana sy ny Fiangonana. |
41 | There is no better illustration for this than the surprising scene of a mass being held in proximity of the FIGN barracks while gunshots were being exchanged, and supporters' cheering in the background. | Tsy misy fanaingoana tsara indrindra ankoatra firohotan'ny olona izay nahatalanjona teo anilan'ny tobin'ny FIGN raha nanomboka ny fifampitifirana, sy ny horakoraky ny olona nanohana tao andamosina. |
42 | The consequences of the gunfights on the scheduled second talk of negotiations in Pretoria are still unclear. | Mbola tsy manjavozavo moa hatramin'izao ny fiantraikan'ny fifampitifirana teo amin'ny fidirana faharoan'ny fifampiraharahana hatao any Pretoria. |
43 | Rajoelina's HAT did not waste time in pointing fingers to Ravalomanana : | Tsy nandany fotoana moa ny mpaohana an-dRajoelina nanondro an-dRavalomanana : |
44 | “The events witnessed in the capital are proof of former president Marc Ravalomanana's desire to escalate the situation,” said a statement issued by Rajoelina's office. | “Porofo indray iny toe-javatra hita teto Antananarivo iny fa te-hanasarotra ny toe-draharaha ny filoha teo aloha Ravalomanana”, hoy ny filazana ofisiany avy amin'ny biraon-dRajoelina. |
45 | “Marc Ravalomanana is attempting to sow civil strife,” the statement said. | “Te-hanao ady an-trano i Marc Ravalomanana”, hoy ny fanambarana. |
46 | AFP | AFP |
47 | Former Mozambican president, Joachim Chissano, who is facilitating the Pretoria talks, was not spared : | Tsy afa-bela ihany koa ny filoha Mozambikana teo aloha, Joachim Chissano, izay mpanamora ny fifampidinihana (saiky hatao ao) Pretoria : |
48 | “The statement from Rajoelina's office also accused former Mozambican president Joaquim Chissano, the chief foreign mediator in the Madagascan crisis, of serving Ravalomanana's interests. | Ampangain'ny avy amin'ny biraon-dRajoelina ho miaro ny tombontsoan-dRavalomanana ihany koa ny mpitarika ny fanelanelanana amin'ity krizin'i Madagasikara ity, dia ny filoha Mozambikana Joaquim Chissano. |
49 | Several mediation attempts have already failed but Chissano has proposed a new round of talks in Pretoria with Rajoelina, Ravalomanana and two other former presidents. | Maro moa ny fanelanelanana nandamoka saingy nanolo-kevitra ny hisian'ny fifampidihana any Pretoria eo amin-dRajoelina, Ravalomanana ary ireo filoha roa teo aloha i Chissano. |
50 | Ravalomanana has already expressed his willingness to resume negotiations but Friday's statement by Rajoelina's office was unequivocal, accusing Chissano of “meddling” in the island's affairs.” | Efa nanambara ny fahavononany hanohy indray ny fifampidinihana Ravalomanana fa tsy nivily, miampanga an'i Chissano ho “mitsabaka” amin'ny raharaha anatin'ny nosy ny fanambarana navoakan'ny biraon'i Rajoelina. |
51 | Three days after the fighting, Andry Rajoelina has dissolved yet another government and reformed a new one, with the military holding some of the posts. | Telo andro taty aorian'ny fifampitifirana, nandrava ny governemanta indray i Andry Rajoelina ary nanangana hafa vaovao, ary miaramila no misahana ny sehatra sasany. |
52 | “Madagascar strongman Andry Rajoelina reshuffled his government on Monday, adding five more military men, in the latest move in Indian Ocean island's protracted political crisis. | Nanitsy ny governemantany indray i Andry Rajoelina, deban'i Madagasikara, tamin'ny alatsinainy, nanampy miaramila dimy hafa indray, tao anatin'izay krizy politika nosedrain'ity nosy ao amin'ny Riakan'ny Indiana ity. |
53 | Rajoelina, who grabbed power in an army-backed coup in March 2009, appointed generals as head of the armed forces and police, with military men also taking the health, fishing and environment ministries. | Nanendry Jeneraly hitarika ny tafika sy ny zandarimaria (ary polisy) i Rajoelinan izay nandrombaka ny fahefana ary notohanan'ny tafika tamin'ny marsa 2009., ary miaramila ihany koa no misahana ny fahasalamana, ny fanjonoana ary ny tontolo iainana. |
54 | Prime Minister Camille Vital, a retired general, remains at the top of the government.” | Mbola ny Praiminisitra Camille Vital, jeneraly misotro ronono, ihany no lehiben'ny governemanta. |
55 | Another victim of the fighting is freedom of speech. | lasibatra tamin'ity fifandonana ity ihany koa ny fahalalaham-pitenenana. |
56 | Consistently during this crisis, radio stations have been closed, journalists harassed. | Efa mahazatra nandritra ity krizy ity ny fanakatonana radio syny fanenjehana mpanao gazety. |
57 | Last Friday was not an exception : Radio Fahazavana, a radio sympathetic to the ousted Ravalomanana and belonging to Reformed Protestant churches, has been closed down. | Tsy nanivaka tamin'izany ny tamin'ny zoma : nakatona ny Radio Fahazavana izay manakaiky kokoa an-dRavalomanana ary fananan'ny Fiangonana protestanta Reforme. |
58 | Radio Fahazavana's journalists have been arrested. | Nosamborina ny mpanao gazetin'ny Radio Fahazavana. |
59 | A week before, Radio Frequence Plus had been savagely attacked by people in civilian clothes and the opposition leaders it was interviewing have been arrested and are still languishing in jail. | Herinandro mialoha izany dia notafihan'olona manao fanamiana sivily ankitsirano ny Radio Frequence Plus ary nosamborina ny mpitarika ny mpanohitra niresadresaka nandritra io fotoana io ary mbola any amponja moa hatramin'izao. |
60 | The Newspapers La Gazette de la Grande Ile's offices were attacked. | Nisy nanafika ihany koa ny biraon'ny La Gazette de la Grande Ile. |
61 | The Committee to Protect Journalists protests : | Manohitra ireny fihetsika ireny ny Vaomiera miaro ny mpanao gazety : |
62 | “We condemn this brutal raid on radio station Fréquence Plus,” said Africa Program Coordinator Tom Rhodes. | “Melohinay io fanafihana misetrasetra ny biraon'ny Fréquence Plus,” hoy ny mpandrindra ny fandaharan'asa eto Afrika Tom Rhodes. |
63 | “For too long, Malagasy journalists have been the victims of political feuds. | “hatramin'ny ela no niharan'ny antsojain'ny ady politika ny mpanao gazety malagasy. |
64 | The government must clarify who was behind this raid and compensate the station for all damages.”” | Tokony hhariharin'ny fitondrana izay tao ambadik'iny fanafihana iny ary tokony honerany ny simba rehetra ” |
65 | Once again investigations have been promised, and accountability demanded. | Nampanatenaina indray ny hanaovana ny fanadihadiana ary nangatahina ny fanazavana. |
66 | The simple Antananarivo citizen has been living since December 2008 in mayhem and chaos. | Niaina tao anatin'ny fikorontanana sy ny aizina ny mponina'Antananarivo hatramin'ny Desambra 2008. |
67 | As Mpakavato, a blogger testifies: | Araka ny ijoroan'i Mpakavato: |
68 | “It is sad that Malagasies kill each other. | “Mampalahelo ny zavatra miseho satria ny Malagasy samy Malagasy no mifamono. |
69 | For selfishness and power greed. | Noho ny fitiavan-tena sy voninahitra. |
70 | The future for all of us and the Malagasy nation is in jeopardy. | Anjaranao ny miheritreritra!! Mbola mipetraka ho baraingo hoan'ny rehetra ny ampitso sy ny hoaviny Firenena. |
71 | Will there be more gunfights? | Mbola hisy indray ve ny fifampitifirana? |
72 | How high will cost of living get? | Manao ahoana ny mety ho fidangan'ny vidim-piainana? |
73 | Can one believe the news spread? | Marim-pototra ve ny vaovao voaray? |
74 | There are so many rumors, what to believe? | Maro ireo tsaho miparitaka,iza no Marina? |
75 | Terror and anxiety are the lot of Antananarivo. “ | Mihorohoro sy mandry ivoho ny antsy ny mponina eto Iarivo.” |

78 | Jentilisa posts pictures . | Namoaka andian-tsary tamin'izany i Jentilisa . |
