3 | Madame Manigat, as her fans and legions of former students call her, tweeted the attack shortly thereafter: | Ramatoa Manigat, tahaka ny fiantsoan'ireo mpanohana azy sy ireo mpianany marobe taloha, nitoraka tweet ny fifanafihana taoriana kelin'ny nitrangany: |

10 | Manigat, a centrist and author of a volume on the history of Haitian women's rights since 1804, had to be removed from the scene [fr] and the rally disbanded before its start. | Manigat, antoko afovoany sy mpanoratra ireo boky mirakitra ny tantaran'ireo zon'ny vehivavy Haisiana hatramin'ny 1804, dia tsy maintsy nesorina teny amin'ny sehatra [fr] ary dia noravana raha tsy mbola nanomboka akory ny fivoriana. |
11 | A technician for popular rap band Barikad Crew was injured (see right). | Nisy teknisianin'ny vondrona mpiangaly rap malaza Barikad Crew iray naratra (jereo eto an-kavanana). |
12 | Barikad Crew is touring the country with Manigat to help her woo younger Haitians who make up the majority of the electorate. | Mitety ny firenena miaraka amin'i Manigat ny Barikad Crew mba hanampy azy hisarika ny tanora Haisiana izay maro amin'ny fifidianana. |
13 | Shortly after the incident, Mirlande Manigat spoke live [fr] to Haitian capital Port-au-Prince based Radio Kiskeya: | Fotoana fohy taorian'ny zava-nitranga, niresaka mivantana tao amin'ny Radio Kiskeya any Port-au-Prince, renivohitr'i Haity i Mirlande Manigat [fr]: |
14 | Mirlande Manigat denounced the “systematic attacks” of her rival's partisans during her various campaign stops. | Manameloka ireo “fanafihana misesisesy” nataon'ireo mpanohana ny mpifaninana aminy nandritra ny fijanonany hanao fanentanana samy hafa i Mirlande Manigat. |
15 | She deems the developments unacceptable while highlighting that the Mirebalais assailants caused unbearable noise during 45 minutes. | Milaza ireo zava-nitranga ho tsy azo ekena izy ary nanindry fa nikotaba amin'ny tsy zakan'ny sofina nandritra ny 45 minitra ireo mpitabataba tany Mirebalais. |
16 | She also complained of the passivity of the police which did nothing against aggressors. | Nitaraina ihany koa izy amin'ny fandalovan'ny mpitandro filaminana izay tsy nanao na inona na inona akory manoloana ireo mpanafika. |
17 | The candidate intends to see her campaign through to the end. | Mikasa ny hanohy ny fanentanany hatramin'ny farany ity mpifaninana ity. |
18 | She is satisfied with her campaign in the Central region overall and visited [several other cities there in addition to Mirebalais]. | Afa-po amin'ny fanentanany tany amin'ny Faritra Afovoany manontolo sy ireo notsidihany [tanàna maro mbola miampy an'i Mirebalais] izy. |
19 | On Twitter, Manigat [fr] revisited all of the attacks incurred by her supporters since campaigning against second round opponent Michel Martelly, beginning on February 17, 2011: a young man was killed in Cité Soleil shortly before she arrived there for a rally, three people responsible for posting her bills were tortured and killed, stones were thrown on a rally in Bel-Air, and two supporters were hospitalized after being beaten at a large Cap-Haïtien rally last Thursday. | Ao amin'ny Twitter, nandinika ireo fanafihana rehetra nahazo ireo mpanohana azy i Manigat [fr] hatramin'ny fanentanany manohitra ny mpifaninana aminy Michel Martelly, nanomboka ny 17 Febroary 2011: nisy lehilahy tanora iray maty tany Cité Soleil fotoana fohy alohan'ny nahatongavany teny amin'ny fivoriana, olona telo mpametaka ny peta-drindriny no nampijaliana sy novonoina, nisy ireo tora-bato nandrintra ny fivoriana tany Bel-Air, ary mpanohana roa no nahiditra hopitaly taorian'ny fidarohana azy ireo nandritra ny fivoriana tany Cap-Haïtien ny Alakamisy lasa teo. |
20 | But as if the toll of casualties was not intidimidating enough to potential voters, Haitians woke up this morning to news that politician Michel St-Obin from the OPL platform who had endorsed Manigat was shot and killed last night. | Kanefa toa tahaka ny tsy mampitahotra ny mpifidy ireo fahasimbana, nifoha ireo Haisiana androany maraina ary nahalala fa maty voatifitra omaly alina ilay mpanao politika Michel St-Obin avy ao amin'ny sehatra OPL nanohana an'i Manigat. |
21 | Jean-Junior Joseph, Mirlande Manigat press attaché, confirmed the news on Twitter: | Jean-Junior Joseph, mpanao gazety miandraikitra an'i Mirlande, nanamarina ireo vaovao ireo ao amin'ny Twitter: |
22 | @jeanjuniorj: Michel Saint-Obin, a Mirlande MANIGAT's supporter shot dead in Port-de-Paix yesterday. | @jeanjuniorj: Michel Saint-Obin, mpanohana an'i Mirlande MANIGAT' dia maty voatifitra tany Port-de-Paix omaly. |
23 | Despite this unsettling development, Manigat received an endorsement from former Lavalas Senator Rudy Herivaux, who called on Lavalas supporters to vote for her en masse. | Na eo aza ity fivoaran'ny toe-javatra mampiahiahy ity, nahazo fanohanana avy amin'ny loholona taloha Lavalas Senator Rudy Herivaux i Manigat, izay niantso ireo mpanara-dia an'i Lavalas mba hifidy azy araka izay tratra. |
24 | (Lavalas is Aristide's party.) | (Ao amin'ny ankolafy Aristide i Lavalas.) |
25 | Policemen linked to the violence | Voarohirohy amin'ity herisetra ity ny mpitandro filaminana |
26 | In her interview to Radio Kiskeya, Madame Manigat specifically mentioned police inaction in Mirebalais. | Tao anatin'ny fanadihadiana azy tao amin'ny Radio Kiskeya, nanonona manokana ny tsy fandraisan'ireo mpitandro filaminana andraikitra tany Mirebalais Ramatoa Manigat. |
27 | She may have been trying to highlight the elephant in the room: the role of policemen in the violence so far. | Mety ho nanazava ny zava-dehibe tamin'ity raharaha ity izy: ny anjara asan'ireo mpitandro filaminana amin'ny herisetra hatramin'izao. |
28 | Indeed, the seven men arrested and detained for the killing of the three Manigat billposters last week were all police officers, as confirmed by the Miami Herald's Jacquie Charles: | Satria tokoa, mpitandro filaminana daholo ireo fito lahy voasambotra noho ny famonoana ireo telo lahy mpametaka ny peta-drindrin'i Manigat tamin'ny herinandro lasa, araka ny fanamarinan'i Jacquie Charles ao amin'ny Miami Herald: |
29 | @jacquiecharles: 7 police officers have been arrested in the deaths of three #Manigatsupporters found dead w/bullet wounds after arrest. | @jacquiecharles: mpitandro filaminana 7 no voasambotra noho ny fahafatesan'ireo mpanohana telo an'i #Manigat izay hita maty voatifitra taorian'ny fisamborana azy ireo. |

31 | Last Saturday, pundits on popular radio talk show Ranmase [fr] linked policemen to each incident, noting that the head of Martelly's campaign in the North East is a member of the national police and that police allegedly instigated the troubles at the Thursday rally in Le Cap where several Manigat supporters were wounded [fr]. | Ny Sabotsy lasa teo, namatotra ireo mpitandro filaminana amin'ity raharaha ity ireo manam-pahaizana ao amin'ny adihevitra ao amin'ny radio Ranmase [fr], manamarika fa ny lehiben'ny ankolafin'i Martelly tany Avaratra Atsinanana dia mpikambana ao amin'ny polisy nasionaly ary namporisika ny fanakorontanana ny fivoriana tany Le Cap ny Alakamisy teo ihany koa ny polisy izay namparatra ny maro amin'ny mpanohana an'i Manigat [fr]. |
32 | Tweeps react | Ny fihetsik'ireo mpitoraka Tweets |
33 | Though not much has been said about police infiltration in the written media and on twitter, Haitian tweepshad plenty to say about Tuesday's Mirebalais attack. | Na dia tsy dia betsaka aza no voalaza momba ny fitsabatsabahan'ny mpitandro filaminana ao anatin'ny gazety an-tsoratra sy tao amin'ny twitter, manana zavatra maro ambara ireo”mpitoraka tweets” mikasika ny fanafihana tany Mirebalais ny Talata. |
34 | TwitJako, a popular tweet-comedian with 28,000 followers who has made fun of both candidates so far, eventually broke his neutrality: | TwitJako, mpanao hatsikana-tweet iray malaza izay manana mpanaraka 28,000, naneso ireo mpifaninara roa ireo hatramin'izao, dia nanapaka ny tsy fiandaniany: |
35 | @twitjako: I would like to ask Martelly's staff to give him a good massage… Too much violence going on. | @twitjako: Te-hangataka ny mpiara-miasa amin'i Martelly aho hanotra azy tsara… Tena marobe ny herisetra mitranga ry zalahy. |
36 | People ripping pictures, disbanding meetings. | Manendaka ireo sary ny olona, mandrava fivoriana. |
37 | Be COOL! | Mba COOL! |
38 | @Sonoude, who dons the signature pink Martelly Twibbon, seemed incredulous: | @Sonoude, izay manaingo ny sariny amin'ilay Twibbon'i Martelly dia toa tsy mino: |
39 | @Sonoude: Haitians are very good at throwing stones. | @Sonoude: Tena mahay mitora-bato mihitsy ireo Haisiana. |
40 | I think if they really wanted to throw Mrs. Manigat to the ground, they would have done it. | Raha tena te-hampitrosona amin'ny tany an-dRtoa Manigat marina ry zareo, dia efa ela no nanao izany. |
41 | Puh-leeze. | Za-Faady. |
42 | @SeTawTaw, a Manigat supporter, was (kr) not surprised about the virulence of the Mirebalais blockade against Manigat because, said the tweeter, “the area is a Duvalierist stronghold” and “they feel threatened”: @SeTawTaw: Mibalais se zone makout! | @SeTawTaw, mpanohana an'i Manigat, tsy taitra (kr) tamin'ny herin'ny sakana tany Mirebalais enti-manohitra an'i Manigat satria, hoy ilay mpitoraka tweet, “faritry ny mpanohana an'i Duvalier ny Mibalais ” ary “mahatsiaro ho voarahona izy ireo”: |
43 | Sa pa etonem ke yap sipote #martelly et ke yap fe vyolans sou #manigat! Yo santi yo menace! | Tsy mahagaga raha tsy mahazaka an'i Martelly ry zareo ary maherisetra amin'i Manigat! |
44 | #election #haiti Others, such as @ZoGrann, wondered about the connections between the violence and recent Martelly allegations that the election will be won “in the streets”: | Ny hafa, tahaka an'i @ZoGrann, manontany tena mikasika ireo fifandraisana misy eo amin'ny herisetra sy ny filazan'i Martelly tsy ela akory izay fa “eny an-dalambe” no hahazoana ny fandresena: |
45 | @ZoGrann: Put 2+2 2gether: Michel François Martelly camp unraveling/ talking abt streets more imp't than ballots/ 3 Manigat supporters dead. | @ZoGrann: Mari-pototra ny zava-drehetra: mivahavaha ny vondron'i Michel François Martelly/ miteny fa ny arabe no manan-danja noho ny vatom-pifidianana/ mpanohana 3- an'i Manigat no maty. |

47 | Meanwhile, echoing the sentiments of Mirlande Manigat and of many Haitians, Radio France International (RFI) correspondent Amelie Baron tweeted: | Mandritra izay, manako ny fihetseham-pon'i Mirlande Manigat sy ireo Haisiana maro, ny masoivohon'ny Radio France International (RFI) Amelie Barondiz ni-tweet: |
48 | @ameliebaron: @mirlandemanigat warning ” a pink milice (Martelly's color) is in formation & that's how a dictatorship starts, with a youth brigade” #haiti | @ameliebaron: @mirlandemanigat dia mampitandrina fa ” misy milisy mavokely (lokon'i Martelly) miofana & izany no fiandohan'ny didy jadona, miaraka amin'ny antoko-miaramilan'ny tanora” #haiti |
49 | Martelly failed to show up at what was supposed to be a second debate yesterday, after having threatened two members of the press who had asked about his unpaid Miami debts at the first one held March 9, 2011. | Tsy nahasahy nipoitra i Martelly tamin'ilay adihevitra faharoa tokony natao omaly, taorian'ny nandrahonany mpanao gazety roa izay nanontany momba ireo trosa tsy voaloany tany Miami nandritra ilay andiany voaloha natao ny 9 Martsa 2011. |
50 | The threats were condemned by Haitian journalist associations. | Melohan'ireo fikambanan'ny mpanao gazety Haisiana io fandrahonana io. |
51 | Many are wondering whether a novelist could have come up with a better plot for Haiti's election, scheduled for Sunday. | Maro no manontany tena raha mety hisy mpanoratra tantara iray afaka hitondra vokatra tsara momba ny fifidianana ao Haiti, nokasaina natao ny Alahady. |
52 | Former dictator Jean-Claude “Baby Doc” Duvalier returned to Haiti earlier this year for the first time since 1986. | Ny mpitondra tsy refesi-mandidy teo aloha Jean-Claude “Baby Doc” Duvalier dia niverina tany Haiti tamin'ny voalohandohan'ity taona ity, izay fiverenany voalohany hatramin'ny 1986. |
53 | Former President Jean-Bertrand Aristide, a left-wing populist, is reportedly on a plane back to Haiti after seven years of exile in South Africa, following a coup in which Martelly, a cross-dressing popular singer associated with Duvalier and the right, is widely believed to have played a role. | Ny filoha teo aloha Jean-Bertrand Aristide, ankafizin'olona avy ao amin'ny antoko ankavia, dia anatina fiaramanidina hiverina any Haiti raha araka ny tatitra taorian'ny 7 taona nahasesitany azy tany Afrika Atsimo, taorian'ny fanonganam-panjakana izay heverina ho nandraisan'i Martelly, mpihira malaza manao sarimbavy sy i Duvalier ary ny antoko ankavanana anjara mavitrika. |
