1Guinean Bloggers Aren’t Satisfied With Government’s Handling of Ebola Epidemic Anti-Ebola health workers in West Africa CC-BY-20Angona Momba Ny Ebola: Alahatry Ny Fikambanan'ny Bilaogera Ao Guinée Amin'ny An'ny Governemanta Ny Azy Ireo
2Guineans have lately been so gripped by the performances of their national team in the 2015 African Cup of Nations that preventive health measures against Ebola have been forgotten amidst the collective rejoicing, with many people hugging each other in the streets.
3However, there are other areas of concern beyond these impromptu expressions of joy.Mpiasan'ny fahasalamàna miady amin'ny Ebola ao Afrika Andrefana CC-BY-20
4Although data may suggest a trend towards a certain degree of stabilisation, 2,921 suspected cases of Ebola have been reported in the country as of 29 January, 2,751 of which have been confirmed, since the start of the epidemic in December 2013. This has resulted in 1,911 deaths, 1,591 of them confirmed.Tato ho ato dia ny zavabitan'ny ekipam-pirenen'i Guinée tany amin'ny Fiadiana izay ho tompondakan'i Afrika amin'ny baolina fandàka, CAN2015, no nahavariana ny Gineana, ary saiky nanadinoany ny fitsipi-pahadiovana natao ho fiarovam-pahasalamàna tao anatin'ny haravoana niraisan'ny rehetra, niaraka taminà fifamihinana tsy tambo nisaina teny an'arabe.
5Do these figures reflect reality though?Kanefa, nisy zavatra hafa mety nampiasa loha.
6Guinean residents have raised a few questions about the way the fight against Ebola has been handled by their government. Their concerns are centered around two main themes: the resources dedicated to data collection in the remote regions and how it is validated by the government, and the communication strategy employed by the government where discordant information can be identified.Na teo aza ny angon-drakitra toa manondro fironana mankany amin'ny tsy fitàran'ny aretina, efa naharaisana tranga 2.921 nampiahiahy sahady ny valanaretina Ebola, ka 2.751 tamin'ireo no voamarina, nitarika fahafatesana 1.911 izay ny 1.591 no voamarina, hatramin'ny andron'ny 29 Janoary.
7Regarding data collection, the Guinean health system has certainly been severely hit by the disease that has taken up most of the healthcare resources of the country.
8Data collection is a daunting challenge without even considering the lack of a robust IT systems to archive and transfer data rapidly.Tena milaza ny zava-misy ve anefa ireo angon-drakitra ireo?
9In addition to the structural challenges, the communication by the government has grown increasingly confusing for Guinean citizens.Ny hakitroky ny fiantraikan'ny aretina isaky ny prefektiora ao Guinée. Loharanon-tsary : internationalsos.com/ebola
10In previous months, the minister of health reported that Ebola was now under control in some cities such as N'zerekore, when in fact some unexplained deaths were already reported leading to the new spike of Ebola cases reported on February 11.Tany aloha, ireo mpikambana ao amin'ny fikambanan'ireo bilaogera ao Guinée na Association des blogueurs de Guinée (Ablogui), tao amin'ny pejy Facebook-ndry zareo dia nanokatra adihevitra mikasika ny maha-azo antoka ireny angon-drakitra ofisialy ireny, sy ny fitondrantenan'ny sasantsasany amin'ireo mpikambana ao anaty governemanta.
11Members of l'Association des blogueurs de Guinée (Ablogui), the Bloggers Association of Guinea, started a debate on their Facebook page concerning the credibility of official data and the behaviour of some government members.
12The debate began following the visit of one of its members, Sally Bilaly Sow, to the district of Kokouma, sub-prefecture of Dougountounni, prefecture of Mali.Adihevitra nanomboka taorian'ny fitsidihana nataon'i Sally Bilaly Sow, iray amin'ireo mpikambana ao aminy tany amin'ny distrikan'i Kokouma, vakim-paritr'i Dougountounni, prefektioran'i Mali.
13This member wrote the following, regarding which data to trust:Nanoratra mikasika izay angon-drakitra tokony hitokiana io mpikambana io :
14Je crois dans ce cas il faut forcément utiliser les données citoyennes qui sont sur le terrain.Inoako amin'ity tranga ity fa voatery tsy maintsy ny angon-drakitra avy amin'ireo olon-tsotra eny an-kianja no tsy maintsy ampiasaina.
15Mais il y a un hic que je n'arrive pas à bien cerner.Saingy misy indro kely tsy haiko fehezina.
16Quand je me déplace avec les responsables sanitaires sur le terrain,ils disent envoyer des rapports de mission.Rehefa mivezivezy miaraka amin'ireo tompoandrakitra ara-pahasalamàna eny an-kianja aho, milaza mandefa tatitra momba ny iraka tontosainy ry zareo.
17Je ne sais où ceux rapports partent ou est-ce ceux rapports reflètent l'image de la situation sur le terrain ?Tsy haiko hoe mandeha mankaiza ireny tatitra ireny ary mampiseho ny tena zava-mitranga eny an-kianja ve ireny tatitra ireny ?
18S'agissant de la sale sortie médiatique d'un ministre de la République pour nier l'existence de la maladie, je crois que à ce niveau, les juridictions doivent prendre leur responsabilité pour le punir avant que la justice ne fasse son travail et qu'il soit remercié du gouvernement, parce qu'il n'en est pas à sa première bévue.Mikasika ny fomba ratsy tanaty fampahalalam-baovao nataon'ny minisitra iray nisehoanà mba handàvana ny fisian'ilay valanaretina dia inoako fa amin'izao toe-javatra izao no tsy maintsy andraisan'ny rantsana fitsarana ny andraikiny ka hanasaziany azy alohan'ny hisaoran'ny governemanta azy satria tsy voalohany tamin'ny nanaovany hadalàna izao.
19De l'autre côté le premier ministre menace de sévir contre les populations qui vont s'adonner à la réticence.Etsy andaniny ny praiminisitra mandrahona ny hirotsaka hamely ny vahoaka izay misafidy ny làlan'ny tsy fitokiana mitondra ho amin'ny fanoherana.
20Pourquoi ne pas faire de même contre ce véreux et acabit ministre car a priori il est aussi citoyen.Nahoana no tsy manao tahàka izany amin'io minisitra tsy mendrika sy tsy misy fotony io satria voalohany indrindra dia olom-pirenena koa izy?
21I think that in this matter, data from citizens on the ground must definitely be used. However, there is a problem with this, which I can't figure out.Ilay mpikambana Alimou Sow izay miasa ao Guinée misolo tena ny fikambanana iraisampirenena iray goavana ary efa zatra tsara ny fomba fanaon'ny fitantanan-draharaha ao no namaly hoe:
22When I move around with the health workers on the ground, they tell me that they send off mission reports.Mila raisina amin'ny fomba matotra sy am-pitandremana ireo tatitry ny OMS.
23I don't know where these reports go to or if these reports give a true picture of the situation on the ground.
24Regarding the terrible media announcement by a government minister denying the existence of the disease [in some regions], I think that at this level the courts of law must take responsibility for punishing him before he is thanked for his work by the government.Mandray kasinga maro samihafa ho ao anatin'ny kajikajiny ry zareo, izay mitondra mankany amin'ny famoahana vokatra mahazendana (fitomboana/fidinan'ny isan'ny maty nefa tsy tena nisy maty teny an-kianja nandritra ilay vanim-potoana voafaritra).
25After all, this is not his first blunder. On the other hand, the prime minister is threatening to deal severely with civilians who do not obey the gag order on reporting unverified Ebola cases.Midika izany hoe mety miresaka zavatra tany aloha ilay angon-drakitra raha toa ka hita hoe fahafatesana noho ny Ebola ireo fahafatesana tany anaty vondrom-piarahamonina tany, saingy efa tratra aoriana (tsy ara-potoana ny fitsirihana, sns…).
26Why not do the same to this dubious minister who is doing the same as them, since he is, presumably, a citizen as well.Ho any ady atao amin'ilay valanaretina, mazava fa kitsapatsapa ny fomba iatrehan'ny manampahefana azy, ary hatrany amboalohany no tsy nahomby ny fampitàm-baovao.
27Alimou Sow, a member who works in Guinea for a large international organisation and is familiar with administration processes, responded:Taorian'ny efa ho taona iray mahery, mbola mampanontany tena ny hoe drafitra fiadiana mahomby tahaka ny ahoana no tsy maintsy raisina ankehitriny.
28World Health Organisation (WHO) reports should be treated with caution.Izay indrindra, mety misy fahataràna ny fampitàna ireo angon-drakitra.
29They take into account a number of parameters, sometimes giving surprising results (showing an increase/decrease in the number of deaths without actual deaths on the ground in a given period).
30It means that the data may be retroactive if it is later found that unaccounted for deaths in the community were due to Ebola (due to test delays, etc.).
31In the fight against the disease, it is clear that the approach taken by the authorities has been haphazard and there has been a lack of communication from the beginning.
32After more than a year, we are left wondering which effective plan of action should now be adopted. Delays have occurred in the transmission of data.Saingy tsy manazava ny zavatra rehetra izany satria isaky ny tsirairay amin'ireny tondrozotran'ny OMS navoakany ireny, voasoratra ao ny herinandro nanaovany ny fanangonana azy.
33The lag might be explained by issue with data transmission from an IT standpoint (a common issue in Guinea).
34But IT issues are not the only causes of concern when it comes to the lag in Ebola progress reports.
35Other issues such as data collection and uncertainty of cause of deaths have also come into play.Angamba mety hoe elanelana tsotra fotsiny teo amin'ny fampitàna ireo angon-drakitra ve ?
36In order to prevent any undue panic by unsubstantiated sources, the government has threatened to jail any bloggers who reports any Ebola-caused deaths that are not validated. Still, it is astonishing that the government through the words of a minister threatens anyone who dares to put up a fight aimed at creating obstacles in the battle against the national scourge, and says nothing when another of its members succeeds in denying its existence.Etsy ankilany, mahagaga raha ny governemanta, miainga avy amin'ny teninà minisitra iray, no ndeha handrahona olona mety ho sahy hanao fanoherana ikendrena ny hanasiana sakantsakana amin'ny ady atao amin'ity valanaretina eto amin'ity firenena ity ary tsy miteny na inona na inona rehefa injay ka mpikambana iray hafa ao anatiny no tonga hatramin'ny fandàvana ny fisiany.
37Sally Bilaly Sow responded:Izay novalian'i Sally Bilaly Sow:
38We are living in the ICT era; this cannot be explained by a delay.Ao anatin'ny fotoanan'ny Teknolojia isika izao ka tsy ny fahataràna no ho entina manazava izany.
39It is an indication of their lack of experience, which has influenced their decision.Midika tsy fahampiana fahaiza-manao izany, izay naka toerana be tamin'ny safidiny.
40Kouyah Kouyate, who founded Ablogui and the Guinée 50 blog, opined:Kouyah Kouyate, ilay bilaogera tompon-kevitra tamin'ny fananganana ary nanokatra ny “ablogui” :
41I think the discrepancy in the figures is due to a number of reasons, as explained above.Heveriko fa ny fifanoheran'ireo tarehimarika dia vokatry ny antony samihafa voatanisa ery ambony.
42It must also be stressed that it is very rare for accurate figures to be obtained in our country.Tsy maintsy tsipihana ihany koa fa tena tsy fahita firy aty amintsika izany hoe hahazo angon-drakitra miaraka aminà tarehimarika ary tena marina izany.
43Is this due to incompetence or an intention to mislead?Tsy fahaizana ve sa finiavana handiso zavatra..?
44As to the words of denial from a high-ranking individual, that doesn't really surprise me.Mikasika ny teny tsy manjary avy aminà olona mitàna toerana ambony indray, tsy zavatra mahagaga ahy intsony izany.
45Since the beginning of the epidemic, this kind of evil idea first began to form in the minds of certain ignorant “intellectuals”.Hatramin'ny niandohan'ilay valanaretina, nitsiry ny hevitra devoly tahaka izany, voalohany indrindra, tao an-dohan'ireo “avarapianarana” sasantsasany tsy mahalala na inona na inona.
46They were the ones who peddled these misconceptions.Ry zareo no niketrika ireny hevi-diso ireny.
47It is likely that they are the hidden instigators of the acts of violence that have cost people fighting against Ebola their lives.Tsy isalasalàna fa ry zareo no nisaron-tava nanosika ireo herisetra niteraka ny fahafatesan'ireo mpiady tamin'ny Ebola.
48Thierno Diallo, creator of the blog Rivières du sud: Un œil sur la Guinée on the Mondoblog network, added:Thierno Diallo, mpamorona ny bilaogy Rivières du sud, Un œil sur la Guinée, ao amin'ny tambajotra mondoblog manampy hoe :
49I believe that some of this country's “VIPs” are responsible for this situation.Inoako fa ny sasany amin'ireo olo-“maventin” ity firenena ity dia tomponandraikitra amin'izao toe-draharaha izao.
50From the start, the issue has been handled with a certain intention to conceal reality.Voalohany indrindra, niaraka tamin'ny eritreritra hanafina ny tena zava-misy no fomba nentina nitantanana ny raharaha.
51It will be recalled that at the beginning of the epidemic, the health authorities described deaths from Ebola as “natural deaths”, even though all the people who touched dead bodies or sick people rapidly developed symptoms of the disease.Tsaroana tsara ny tany ampiandohan'ilay valanaretina, nambaran'ireo manampahefàna ara-pahasalamana ho “fahafatesana natoraly” ny fahafatesana nateraky ny Ebola, kanefa ireo olona rehetra izay nikitika ny razana na ny marary dia vetivety monja dia samy nahitàna ny soritr'aretina avokoa.
52If today we hear one of them saying that Ebola does not exist, we shouldn't be too surprised - even if the preferred approach would be to penalise them severely, so that this dangerous idea does not take hold in the minds of people who, until now, have believed in its existence.Raha androany no handrenesana avy amin'ny vavan'ny iray amin-dry zareo fa hoe tsy misy ny Ebola, tsy tokony hahagaga antsika izany. Na ohatra aza ny lojika ka tokony ho any amin'ny famaizana henjana azy, mba tsy hampiroboroboana an'io hevitra mampidi-doza io ao an-tsain'ireo izay mino ny fisiany, hatreto aloha.
53The discrepancy between the WHO figures and those provided by the citizens on the ground are merely a reflection of the sensitive issue of figures in Guinea.Ny fifanipahan'ny tarehimarika nomen'ny OMS sy ny an'ireo olon-tsotra eny an-kianja dia tsy inona fa taratry ny olana saropadin'ny resaka tarehimarika ao Guinée.
54It is said that “in Guinea, the best liar is the person who claims to give accurate figures on a given subject”.Ambara fa ao “Guinée, ny mpandainga voalohany indrindra dia izay milaza fa manana ny isa tena izy amin-javatra iray voafaritra”.
55In our current state of development, Ebola is not the only issue on which it is difficult, or even impossible to get accurate figures.Tsy amin'ny resaka Ebola irery ihany, fa raha ny fivoarantsika ankehitriny, sarotra ny hahazo ary mety tsy hisy mihitsy aza, tarehimarika tena izy.
56Other sources of information that cast doubt on these data include the website International SOS. International SOS is an organization that focuses on health protection worldwide.Ao anatin'ireo loharanom-baovao hafa izay mametraka fisalalàna momba ireny tarehimarika ireny no misy ny tranonkala “internationalsos.com/ebola” ihany koa.
57It reviews data from WHO Ebola situation reports and puts the emphasize on the area of concerns.
58Analyzing the World Health Organisation's (WHO) report covering the period from 21 to 28 January, one can see that the report suggest clues that the Ebola threat is still very real.Amin'ny fandalinana ny tatitry ny Fikambanana Iraisampirenena momba ny fahasalamàna (OMS) mandrakotra ny fe-potoana 21 hatramin'ny 28 Janoary, dia manome famintinana izy, izay tokony ho saintsainina: Hitantsika tao anatin'ny herinandro farany (21 - 28 Janoary) . . .
59The report points to an increase in new cases in Guinea for the first time in 2015 and the problem of “undetected chains of transmission.”
60Unless there is transparency in the fight against this epidemic in Guinea and other affected countries, the battle could be a long one, and the damage caused even more devastating.Raha tsy misy mangarahara amin'ny ady atao amin'ity valanaretina ity avy amin'i Guinée sy ireo firenena hafa voakasik'izany, dia mbola ho lavitr'ezaka ny tolona ary indrisy fa mbola handravarava.
61Wouldn't it be better to follow the example of Sierra Leone, the country that has demonstrated the most transparency?Tsy tsara ve ny miaina manaraka ny ohatra nomen'i Sierra Leone, ilay firenena nampiseho mangarahara betsaka tokoa.
62It has quarantined the entire population of the country or certain regions, with a ban on leaving residences for several days, to allow medical teams to carry out a complete screening to detect new cases and to explain health measures.Nataony ho tanaty faritra mihidy daholo ny mponin'ny firenena iray manontoolo na ny faritra sasantsasany, niaraka tamin'ny fandraràna tsy hivoaka ny trano nandritry ny andro maro mba hahafahan'ireo andiam-pitsabo manao fitiliana tanteraka ka hitsirihana sao misy tranga vaovao, sy hanazavàna ireo fepetram-pahadiovana.
63At one time, Sierra Leone recorded the largest number of Ebola cases, but today it has seen a large decrease in the number of new cases since the peak reached in December.Izy no nànana ny isan'ny marary be indrindra, saingy ankehitriny dia mihena be mihitsy ny fahitàny tranga vaovao hatramin'ny nahatratrarany ny fetra ambony indrindra tamin'ny Desambra.
