1Niger: Widespread opposition to president's bid to extend ruleNiger: Mitsipaka ny fanalavana ny fe-potoana fiasan'i Tandja
2Tensions are on the rise in Niger as President Mamadou Tandja moves forward with a referendum that, if passed, would allow the 71 year-old leader to modify the constitution and extend his 10-year rule.Miakatra ny tosi-dra any Niger taorian'ny soson-kevitra nataon'ny filoha Mamadou Tandja hanao fitsapan-kevi-bahoaka, izay raha lany, dia hamela ny filoham-pirenena hanova ny lalàm-panorenana hahafahany manalava ny fe-potoana hiasany, izay efa naharitra 10 taona.
3Mamadou Tandja, President of Niger since 1999, wants to amend the constitution so he can stay in office.Mamadou Tadja, filohan'i Niger hatramin'ny 1999, te hanova ny lalàm-panorenana hijanonany eo amin'ny fitondrana.
4Last week, Tandja dissolved the National Assembly following a ruling by Niger's constitutional court that holding such a referendum would be a breach of his oath of office, and thus illegal.Ny herinandro lasa teo dia nofoanan'ny filoha Tandja ny solombavam-bahoaka, taorian'ny fanapahan-kevitry ny fitsarana momba ny lalàm-panorenana any Niger, izay nilaza fa fanitsakitsahana ny lalàm-panorenana io fitsapan-kevi-bahoaka io ary koa fanitsakitsahana ny fianianana nataony amin'ny maha filoha azy, ka noho izany dia tsy manara-dalàna.

Na izany aza dia manaraka akaiky ny fizotry ny raharaha ny mpitoraka bilaogy amin'ireo firenena manodidina tahaka an'i Burkina Faso sy Tchad.

9In most African countries, constitutional modifications have become the fashion, for the pleasure of the leaders, in spite of opposition from socio-political elements.Lasa lamaody ho an'ny firenena afrikana maro ny fanovana ny lalàm-panorenana tato ho ato, na izany hataon'ny mpanohitra na izany hataon'ny mpitondra.
10Niger, a country that, with the realization of its first democratic handover, has become an example of democracy, is mired by these constitutional revisions, right under the nose of international opinion.I Niger izay nanome ohatra tsara amin'ny fanajana ny demokrasia noho ny fifandimbiasam-pahefana, no hatao telimoka noho ny fanitsiana ny lalàm-panorenana eo ambany mason'izao tontolo izao.
11So far, Libyan president Moummar Kadhafi is the only head of state to publicly support the referendum.Hatramin'izao dia ny filoha Lybiana irery, Moummar Kadhafi, no filoham-pirenena tokana manaiky ity fitsapan-kevi-bahoaka ity.
12Both the US and Canada have spoken out against it. tchad futur predicts France will stay quiet given the uranium deal the French company AREVA signed with Niger in January.Mitsipaka kosa i Etazonia sy Canada. Milaza ny Tchad futur fa tsy maneho ny heviny i Frantsa na dia eo aza ny fifanarahana nosoniavin'ny AREVA sy Niger tamin'ny volana janoary lasa teo.
13In Africa, constitutional amendments do not happen with the will of the people, but rather at the pleasure of foreign powers, whose interests must be protected, to the detriment of democratic values and human rights.Any Afrika dia tsy araka ny hetahetam-bahoaka no hanovana ny lalàm-panorenana fa noho ny hetahetan'ny matanjaka avy any ivelany, ahafahany miantoka ny tombontsoany na dia manosihosy ny sandan'ny demokrasia sy tsy manaja ny zon'olombelona aza.
14On Burkinabe news site LeFaso.net, Alain Saint Robespierre writes about Niger's “Constitutional Coup d'Etat”:Ao amin'ny vohikalam-baovao Burkinabé Lefaso.net dia maneho ny heviny mikasika ny “fanonganam-panjakana araka ny lalàm-panorenana” any Niger i Alain Saint Robespierre:
15Nonetheless, in this political imbroglio, one this is sure: the strong man of Niamey will not retreat for anything or anyone in order to realize his plan to prolong his mandate at the head of the country.Ao amin'ity resaka politika manjavozavo ity dia zavatra tokana ihany no tena azo antoka: tsy hihemotra mihitsy ilay mpitondra any Niamey na inon-kidona na inon-kitranga mandra-pahatongany eo amin'ny tanjona iriny dia ny fijanonany eo amin'ny fitondrana. Aoka itsy.
16For all those who believed the Nigerian commander-in-chief capable of moving backward in order to extend , at the expense of the law, his presidential lease, we are in the hour of disillusion.Ho an'izay rehetra matoky fa hiverina amin'ny heviny ny filoha Nizeriana amin'ny faniriany hanalava ny fe-potoana fiasany, na dia eo aza ny lalàna sy ny fifanarahana nataony tamin'ny maha filoha azy, dia ho diso fanantenana eo.
17In response, a reader named koudka writes:Ho valin'izay dia nilaza ny mpamaky iray atao hoe Koudka:
18We poor Africans!Indrisy ry Afrikana!
19This has to change.Tys maintsy hovana izao.
20The Nigerien people don't deserve this.Tsy mendrika izany ny vahoaka Nizeriana.
21When I think that there are heads of state who believe their country will be nothing without them, while in all the time they have been head of state, they have done nothing.Rehefa mieritreritra aho fa misy filoham-pirenena mihevitra fa tsinontsinona ny fireneny rehefa tsy eo izy kanefa hatramin'ny fotoana ela nitondrany dia tsy nisy zavatra niova akory.
22Quite simply, I want to change the world…Te hanova izao tontolo izao tsotra fotsiny aho…
23Laye, referring to former president Ibrahim Bare Mainassa‘s assassination, thinks Tandja is playing with fire, and ignoring history:Milaza i Layer raha mitantara ny namonoana ny filoha Ibrahim Bare Mainassa, fa milalao afo i Tandja ary tsy mahafantatra ny tantara:
24As someone noted before me, some have forgotten Wanke.Araka ny voalazan'ny olona teo alohako dia misy ireo manadino ny atao hoe Wankage.
25It's clear there will be a coup d'Etat in Niger, and that Tandja will be killed.Ary mazava fa hisy fanonganam-panjakana ao Niger, mazava ho azy koa fa hisy hamono i Tandja.
26At any rate, he doesn't deserve any better.Na izany aza dia tsy mendrika zavatra hafa ankoatr'izay izy.
27And applauds those who are standing up to Tandja:Noderainy koa ireo mpanohitra an'i Tandja:
28Bravo to the Nigerien National Assembly, to Mahamane Ousame, to the Constitutional Court, to President Guermakoye, to…to the Nigeriens!Tehaka be ho an'ny solombavam-bahoaka Nizeriana, ho an'i Mahamane Ousmane, ho an'ny fitsarana momba ny Lalàm-panorenana, ho an'ny filoha Guermakoye,… ho an'ny vahoaka nizeriana!
29Traps:I Traps:
30Mr. Tandja, what you could not do in ten years, you will never do in two or three.Atoa Tandja, izay vita tao anatin'ny 10 taona dia tsy ho vita ao anatin'ny 2 na 3 taona.
31It is time for you to go.Fotoana tokony hialanao amin'izay izao.
32You insult African democracy.Nanao tsinontsinona ny demokrasia afrikana ianao.
33Mr. Tandja, you should have been a good example to your brothers holding onto power.Atoa Tandja, tokony ho ohatra tsara ho an'ny rahalahinao mpitongy seza ianao.
34Tandja, get out of here.Tandja, mialà amin'izay, mialà teo.
35Off you go.Jennifer Brea
