30The crowd was diverse; academics, theater and arts, media, civil society, corporate, intellectual and just young people concerned with the state of affairs.Maro karazana ireo mpandray anjara : ireo mpampianatra, ireo artista, ireo mpiasa mpampita vaovao, ny fiaraha-monin'ny olon-tsotra, ireo vondron'orinasa, ireo manam-pahaizana ary raha tsorina koa dia ireo tanora voakasiky ny toe-draharaha.
31The blogger asks:Manontany ilay mpiblaogy:
32How do you mobilize ‘the rest' to participate? how do you turn this into a ‘people's movement'?Ahoana no ataonao mba hanetsehana “ny hafa” handray anjara? ahoana no ataonao hamadihana ny hetsika ho fihetseham-bahoaka ?

34She explained:Nanazava ny antony izy :
35The print-outs that the attendees had with them were not, in fact, a new National Anthem, but a Buddhist prayer that they had planned to chant at the vigil.Raha ny marina, ny taratasy vita printy notazonin'ireo mpandray anjara nandritra ny fiaretan-tory dia tsy ny tonony vaova ho an'ny hiram-pirenena fa vavaka bodista izay saika ho vakiana mandritra ny fiaretan-tory.

45Blogger Kath Noble has some hope:Manana fanantenana ilay bilaogera Kath Noble :
46The monks of the Bodu Bala Sena have inadvertently done Sri Lanka a favour.Nanampy tsy nahy an'i Sri Lanka ireo Moana-n'i Bodu Bala Sena.
47Their speeches are so crass and their actions so crude that they have provoked a backlash - the media is full of criticism of their anti-Muslim campaign, much of it coming from Sinhala Buddhists themselves.Tena ambany ny kabariny ary kitoatoa ny asany ka niteraka valin-kafatra henjana - feno tsikera momba ny fampielezan-kevitr'izy ireo manohitra ny Silamo ny vaovao, ny ankamaroan'ireo tsikera dia avy amin'ireo bodista Sinhala ihany.

51Subha Wijesiriwardena, a dancer and blogger writes:Subha Wijesiriwardena, mpandihy sady blaogera manoratra hoe :
52The Bodu Bala Sena and Sinhala Ravaya and other similar groups obviously have a clear agenda - we are done with the Tamils, so let's make the Muslims our new enemy.Ny Bodu Bala Sena, ny Ravaya Sinhala sy ireo vondrona miralenta hafa dia manana fandaharam-potoana mazava - resin'ny Tamouls isika, noho izany ‘ndeha ataontsika fahavalo vaovao ny silamo.
53This suits the agenda of our current regime, in fact they were just done with a civil war and wondering how to keep the masses further mesmerised, hypnotised - fear of a common enemy, naturally, is just the way they'd like to do it.Mitfanaraka amin'ny fandaharanasan'ny governemantantsika amin'izao fotoana ihany izany, izay raha ny marina dia vizan'ny ady an-trano ry zareo ka manontany tena ny amin'ny fomba atao hampivanàka, hampatoriana am-pitsanganana ny vahoaka - ny tahotra ny fahavalo iraisana izay indrindra no tena kendreny anaova azy io.
54She asks:Manontany izy :
55The battle lines are being drawn.Voasoritra ny tsipiky ny ady.
56The fundamentalists are always quick to do so.Haingana be hatrany ireo fondamantalista fatra-pifikitra amin'izay voasoratra raha haka toerana.
57Where do you stand?Ary ianao, aiza no misy anao ?
