2 | This post is part of our special coverage Syria Protests 2011. | |
3 | As protests in Syria continue into their third week, the Assad government is making concessions in the hope of appeasing protesters. | Raha niditra amin'nyherinandro fahatelo ny fanoherana any Syria, dia nisy fileferana nataon'ny governemanta Assad mba hampitonena ny mpanao fihetsiketsehana. |
4 | Today, the government closed the country's new casino and reversed a ban on niqaab [Muslim female head covering] in schools, in an attempt to reach out to conservative Muslims. | Androany dia nanakatona toeran-doka vaovao misy ao an-toerana ny fitondrana mba hahazoany sitraka amin'ny miozolomana mpitahiry nentin-drazana. |
5 | At the same time, the government is asserting power via propaganda, some of which is finding its way to the most unlikely of places. | Mandritra izany fotoana izany, manamafy ny sezany amin'ny alalan'ny propagandy ny fitondrana, ny sasany amin'izany moa dia hita any amin'ny toerana tsy ampoizina indrindra. |
6 | This afternoon, CNN reporter Hala Gorani (@HalaGorani) tweeted a photograph of loaves of Syrian bread that included a special message to the Syrian people: | Ity takariva ity ary dia ni-tweet sarina mofo dipaina syriana ahitana hafatra manokana ho an'ny vahoaka syriana ny mpanangom-baovao ao amin'ny CNN Hala Gorani : |
7 | @HalaGorani: Leaflets handed out w/ bread purchase in#Damascus: “#Syria is our sect (…) We are all Bashar…”http://yfrog.com/gzpk8glj | Singan-taratasy miaraka amin'ny mofo dipaina ao Damaskosy: “Syria no fiangonantsika()Miaraka amin'ny Bashar avokoa isika rehetra” |
8 | Syrian bread promoting love of President Bashar al-Assad. | Mofo Syriana hampiroborobo ny fitiavana an-i Bashar al-Assad (saripika Hala Gorani) |
9 | Image uploaded to Twitter by Hala Gorani. According to Assia Boundaoui (@assuss), the leaflets also read “the nation is bigger than upheaval.” | Araka an'i Assia Boundaoui (@assuss), misy mivaky toy izao ihany koa ao anatin'ny singan-taratasy “ao anaty fivoarana tanteraka ny firenena.” |
10 | Meanwhile, Maisa Akbik notes that even “Egyptians didn't create something like this.” | Amin'izany, nomarihan'i Maisa Akbik fa na dia ny “Ejipsiana aza dia tsy mba nanao toy izao.” |
11 | Twitter user @sapiensprod takes a less lighthearted approach: | @sapiensprod naka fomba fijery somary maivamaivana kokoa: |
12 | @sapiensprod: Football league games cancelled in #Syria and propaganda on the bread. | Niato ny lalao fandaka baolina any Syria ary misy propagandy kosa amin'ny mofo dipaina. |
13 | Give them bread, no games…meanwhile many people detained…#Bashar | Omeo mofo ireo fa tsy lalao. Mandritra izany maro ny olona tazonina…#Bashar |
