1 | Rwanda: Blogger Invites President Through Twitter | Roandà: Bilaogera nanasa Filoha tamin'ny alalan'ny Tweeter |
2 | | Ity dia tantara milaza ny fanasana nataona bilaogera Kenyana iray mipetraka ao Roandà ny Filoha Roandey Paul Kagame tamin'ny alalan'ny Twitter mba hamangy ny ankizy ao amin'ny kianjan'ny Tennis Ibirunga ao an-tanànan'i Musanze. |
3 | This is a story of how a Kenyan blogger based in Rwanda invited Rwandan President Paul Kagame via Twitter to visit kids at The Ibirunga Tennis Court in Musanze Town. | Namaly ny antso ny Filoha Kagame ary dia niafara tamin'ny famangiana azy ireo izany. Miara miasa amin'ny Art de Conservation i Savy Kenia, fikambanana izay manatanteraka ny fiarovana sy fampianarana momba ny fahasalamana ho an'ny ankizy monina ao akaikin'ny Saha Nasionaly ny Volkano ao Rwanda. |
4 | President Kagame replied and ended up visiting them. | Ankizy avy amin'ny Tennis Club an-tanànan'i Musante ireto. |
5 | SavyKenya works with Art of Conservation, an organisation that carries out conservation and health education to kids living near the Volcanoes National Park in Rwanda. | Maniry hahita anao izahay eo amin'ny kianjan'ny tennis-nay Raha handalo ny tanànan'i Musanze ianao ity tolakandro ity dia hanofahofa tanana anao ny ankizy mpilalao tennis ary manana t-shirt ho anao. |
6 | SavyKenya explains how it all began: | Nanazava i SavyKenya nanao ahoana ny fiatombohany: |
7 | It all started with a tweet. | Nanomboka tao amin'ny tweet izany rehetra izany. |
8 | Rather, two tweets. | Eo amin'ny tweets roa eo. |
9 | Friday morning. | Ny zoma maraina. |
10 | My last day at work. | Ny andro niasako farany. |
11 | Fridays are easy days around here, we report to work at nine in the morning, which means I get up at 8, and on most days, I oversleep till 8.30 and I have to shower, dress, have breakfast and do the 10-min walk to work in 30min! | Andron'ny fahamorana ny andro zoma aty, mandeha miasa izahay amin'ny 9 ora maraina, ary amin'ny ankapobeny, dia be torimaso hatramin'ny 8.30 maraina aho, avy eo mandro, miakanjo, ary mihinana sakafo maraina ary mandeha tongotra 10 minitra rehefa ho any am-piasana hiasa mandritra ny 30minitra. |
12 | Today at around 4pm, there is a farewell party for me. | Androany teo amin'ny 4 ora hariva, nisy fety fanaovam-beloma ho ahy. |
13 | I don't really have that much work, so I spend most of the morning tweeting, Facebooking, blog reading and emailing. | Ka dia tsy nisy asa betsaka nataoko, koa dia nolaniako ny maraina nanaovana tweet, Facebok, namaky bolongana sy nandefa mailaka. |
14 | Back at the office, Julie told me about the president passing through today and I told her you know what? | Tafaverina ao amin'ny birao aho, nilaza ahy i Julie momba ny fandalovan'ny Filoha androany ary novaliako izy hoe fantatrao ve? |
15 | The president is on twitter, I could tweet him. | Ato amin'ny twitter ny Filoha, afaka mi-tweet miaraka aminy aho. |
16 | She was like, why not? | Ka hoy i Julie hoe, Ataovy ary? |
17 | So I tweeted him, and kept checking my replies every few minutes. | Ka dia ni-tweet taminy aho, ary nandinika ny valinteniko isaky ny minitra vitsy izy. |
18 | Finally, 30 minutes later I get a reply: | Farany, 30 minitra taty aoriana, dia nahazo valiny aho: |
19 | She tweeted: | Ni-tweet izy: |
20 | @PaulKagame if you'll be passing through Musanze town this afternoon, the tennis kids will be waving at you and they have a t-shirt for you. | @PaulKagame Raha handalo ny tanànan'i Musanze ianao ity tolakandro ity dia hanofahofa tanana anao ny ankizy mpilalao tennis ary manana t-shirt ho anao izy ireo. |
21 | Kagame replied: | Namaly i Kagame: |
22 | @savvykenya. | @savvykenya. |
23 | O K sure,…I stop by …thank u! | Eny,…hijanona aho …misaotra anao! |
24 | The waiting started: | Nanomboka ny fiandrasana: |
25 | Apart from his tweet, and the excitement in the air as the tennis kids were told to come in their best club t-shirts, there was little to show the president was going to stop by. | Ankoatra ny tweet nalefany, mientanentana ny ankizy mpilalao tennis izay nilazana mba hiakanjo ny t-shirt-n'ny klioba tsara indrindra, kely ny herijika hoe hijanona eo tokoa ny Filoha. |
26 | But at around 5pm, the commissioner of police in this area (I think) called and started asking all sorts of questions about the club. | Fa manodidina ny amin'ny 5 ora hariva, niantso sy nanomboka nanadihady momba ny klioba ny kaomisera tao an-tanàna. |
27 | Then we knew things were getting thick! | Araka izany, fantatray fa miha-mazava ny raharaha. |
28 | Later, a few security guys (a part of the presidential guards perhaps) arrive and also start asking questions. We're called from the office. | Fotoana fohy aty aoriana, mpiambina lehilahy vitsivitsy (angamba sasantsasany amin'ireo mpiambina ny Filoha) no tonga ary nametraka fanontaniana ihany koa. |
29 | We (AoC staff) have to leave the party for the tennis court. | Tsy maintsy nandao ny lanonana izahay (mpitantana ny AoC) hamonjy ny kianja filalaovana tennis. |
30 | We tell the guests not to worry, we'll be back to continue it but for now, well… | Nilaza ny vahiny izahay mba tsy hitebiteby, fa mbola hiverina izahay hanohy ny fety fa amin'izao fotoana izao, dia… |
31 | More army guys arrive. | Miaramila maromaro indray no tonga. |
32 | They surround the tennis court and melt into the shadows. | Mihodidina ny kianjan'ny tennis ary mifangaro ao anaty aloka . |
33 | They go into the houses neighbouring the court and command the residents to stay indoors. | Nankao amin'ny trano mifanakaiky ny kianja izy ireo ary nangataka ny mponina mba hijanona ao anaty trano. |
34 | It's all very movie-like. | Toy ny lahatsary avokoa no miseho. |
35 | They are asking questions. | Mametraka fanontaniana izy ireo. |
36 | They are polite, because they ask me, “may we please speak to you” and then pull me aside and ask me all sorts of things. | Mahalala fomba, satria nanontany ahy hoe: “afaka miresaka aminao ve izahay azafady” ary nampakany sisiny aho ka nanontaniany karazan-javatra maro. |
37 | Then they call Julie aside and do the same. | Avy eo, niantso an'i Julie indray izy teo akaiky teo ihany ary nanontaniany toy izay ihany koa. |
38 | Then they call me back. | Avy eo mbola nantsoiny indray aho. |
39 | Then they call Valerie (another staff member) and do the same. | Avy eo niantso an'i Valerie indray (anisan'ny mpikambana) ary mbola nanontaniany toy izay ihany koa. |
40 | Then back to Julie. | Ary niverina tany amin'i Julie indray avy eo. |
41 | It is just so very exciting. | Mahavariana tokoa izany. |
42 | And finally…. : | Ary ny farany…. : |
43 | Finally, a car travelling at high speed blazes through, flashing lights and hooting horns. Or maybe a siren. | Farany, fiara mandeha mafy no manjelanjelatra, misy jiro mipipika sy feon'anjombona, na angamba feon'anjomara. |
44 | In our excited state, we see and hear things. | Tanatin'ny fientanentananay, mahita sy maheno zavatra izahay. |
45 | Off it goes past us. | Mandalo eo anoloanay izany. |
46 | It must be the decoy car, I think. | Mety fiara fandrika angamba izany, hoy ny eritreritro. |
47 | The presidential motorcade finally weaves its way and at the tennis court where we wait by the roadside, a small sleek car stops. | Indro ny kortezin'ny Filoha no mandalo amin'ny lalana eo amin'ny kianjan'ny tennis izay misy anay miandry eo amin'ny sisin-dalana, fiara kely mahafatifaty no mijanona. |
48 | Someone opens the door. And Kagame steps out. | Misy olona manokatra ny varavarana, ary indro nivoaka i Kagame. |

51 | She tells him that she is the one who tweeted: | Nilaza taminy izy fa izy ilay ni-tweet taminy: |
52 | Julie is the first to greet him and to introduce herself. | Julie no voalohany niarahaba azy sy nampahafantatra ny tenany. |
53 | I shake his hand next. | Avy eo noraisiko ny tanany. |
54 | He then greets everyone by hand, paying special attention to the smallest kid here. | Taorian'izany dia nandray tanana ny tsirairay koa izy, ary nijery manokana ireo ankizy kely tao. |
55 | He speaks with Coach Tony. | Miresaka amin'ny Mpanazatra Tony izy. |
56 | He says he has a gift for us and hands us an envelope. | |
57 | We thank him and clap for him. | Milaza izy fa manana fanomezana ho anay ka nanolotra valopy. |
58 | We remember the t-shirt we promised him. | Nisaotra azy izahay ary nitehaka ho azy. |
59 | We give it to him. He holds it up, saying “thank you, it's my size.” | Tsaroanay ilay t-shirt nampanantenainay azy, nomenay azy izany, ka noraisiny ary niteny izy hoe “misaotra anareo, antonona ahy ity.” |
60 | We couldn't be happier at this moment! | Tsy mbola faly toy izany izahay tamin'io fotoana io! |
61 | There is a pause in conversation and activity, and I seize the chance to tell him I'm the one who tweeted him. | Nisy fijanona kely nandritra ny resaka sy ny zavatra natao, ary nanararaotra nanambara azy aho fa izaho no ni-tweet taminy. |
62 | He turns back to some of his entourage and says, “she's the one who invited me.” | Nitodika tamin'ireo olona sasany manodidina azy izy ary niteny hoe, “izy no nanasa ahy.” |
63 | Then I tell him am going back to Kenya soon, and he said no, you should stay. | Avy eo, nilaza taminy aho fa tsy ho ela dia handeha hiverina an'i Kenia, ary namaly izy hoe tsia, tokony mijanona ianao. |
64 | I tell him I want to be the president of the EA Republic when it's formed in 2032. | Niteny taminy aho fa maniry ny ho lasa Filohan'ny Repoblika EA raha miforona amin'ny taona 2032 izany. |
65 | He donated money to Ibirunga Tennis Club: | Nanolotra vola ho an'ny Ibirunga Tennis Club izy: |
66 | We count the money the president gifted the Ibirunga Tennis and Running Club. | Nanisa ny vola nomen'ny Filoha ho an'ny Ibirunga Tennis sy ny Running Club izahay. |
67 | One million Rwandese Francs (about 2000 USD). | Iray tapitrisa vola Roandey (eo amin'ny 2000 USD). |
68 | SavyKenya's impression of Paul Kagame: | Ny fomba fijerin”i SavyKenya an'i Paul Kagame: |
69 | My impression of him is that he's a very nice guy. | Ny fahitako azy dia olona mahatehotia izy. |
70 | There, I don't have glowing descriptions. | Amin'izany, tsy manana fanoritsoritana mazava aho. |
71 | It was humbling for me, for all of us. | Nanetry tena tamiko izy, tamintsika rehetra. |
72 | He's generous and polite. | Malala-tanana sy mahalala fomba. |
73 | A great man. | Lehilahy mahafinaritra . |
