1 | Sri Lanka: Price Hike and Police Brutality in Enforcing Public Order | Sri Lanka : Famoretana Ny Hetsi-panoherana Noho Ny Fidangan'ny Vidim-piainana Amin'ny Anaran'ny Filaminam-Bahoaka |
2 | Sri Lanka is currently facing a turbulent economy with price hike and imposition of surcharges, which are provoking widespread protests. | Mikorosofahana ny toekaren'i Sri Lanka ankehitriny, miakatra ny vidim-piainana sy ny hetra ka miteraka hetsi-panoherana marobe izany. |
3 | The police and the military are taking brutal measures on protesters and a number of people have been killed in the past few months. | Nandray fepetra feno herisetra ny polisy sy ny tafika hamoretana ireo mpanao fihetsiketsehana, ka marobe ireo namoy ny ainy tao anatin'izay volana maromaro lasa izay. |
4 | Ratmale at Serendipity explains: | Ratmale tao amin'ny bilaogy Serendipity nanazava hoe : |
5 | We are in for a difficult time in managing our personal finances as the spate of price increases does not have a limit or a time frame, as long as the threat of further devaluation of the Rupee remains. | Ao anatin'ny fotoan-tsarotra izahay ankehitriny amin'ny fitantanam-bolanay manokana ary tsy hisy fiovana izany raha tsy misy farany na fe-potoana farany izao fiakaran'ny vidim-piainana izao, ary raha mbola eo koa ny fampihenana ny sandam-bola roupie. |
6 | The pundits are now saying this was inevitable as the Government was living on borrowed time, but why were they so silent all this time? | Nilaza ireo manam-pahaizana fa tsy azo iàlana izany, mbola mandia fotoan-tsarotra ny governemanta, fa nahoana no tsy niloa-bava mihitsy izy ireo nandritra izany fotoana izany? |
7 | It was because the Government carried out a very successful campaign of misinformation, about the state of the Country's finances. | Satria nahavita namoaka vaovao tsy marina ny governemanta mikasika ny toe-bolan'ny firenena. |

10 | Sayanthan, a student of IT and Business Strategy, shares his experience: Last few days oil crisis has been biting all of us really hard. | Tamin'ny Alatsinainy, raha nivoaka handeha hiasa aho, tsy nahita fiara fitaterana mihitsy ka voatery nandray fiarakaretsaka kodiaran-telo handeha hamonjy birao. |
11 | Monday when I stepped out to go to work I couldn't find a bus so had to find a three wheeler to get to office. | Avy eo ny ampitson'iny, raha nanome 20 roupie tamin'ny diako mianga ao Bambalapitiya hatrany Galle aho, dia nilaza ny saofera fa efa niakatra ny saran-dalana. |
12 | Then the next day, when I gave 20 Rs for my journey from Bambalapitiya to Galle face the conductor said that's the revised price. | Tsy fantatro mihitsy ny fisian'izany fiakaran'ny saran-dalana izany ka noheveriko fa tena misy, avy eo tsapako fa very ny vola roupies keliko. |
13 | I had no clue about the price revision so I assumed that it was right, then I found out that I had been cheated a few rupees. | |
14 | In the fishing town of Chilaw thousands of fishermen joined in a protest march demanding a reduction in fuel prices. | Ao an-tanànam-panjonoana ao Chilaw, mpanjono an'arivony no namonjy ny diabe fihetsiketsehana mitaky ny fampihenana ny vidin-tsolika. |
15 | They clashed with police, who later opened fire at them. | Nifampitana tamin'ny polisy izy ireo, izay nitifitra azy ireo avy eo. |
16 | One person was dead and many were wounded. | Olona iray no namoy ny ainy ary marobe ireo naratra. |

18 | Nugawela writes in Groundviews: | Nugawela nanoratra tao amin'ny Groundviews : |
19 | The government is, after all, quite fond of the “you're either with us or against us” line of thinking, which has - over the last few years - translated into action on the streets and the old practice of vituperative verbal attacks against civil society activists. | Hita tokoa ny governemanta fa tena mankafy ilay “na ianareo miaraka aminay na manohitra anay”, izay midika -tao anatin'izay taona maro lasa izay - fa fanafihan'ny be sandry no miseho eny an-dalana, miaraka amin'ny ompa variraraka manoloana ireo mpitolon'ny fiarahamonim-pirenena. |
20 | So, is public security really a concern for this government? | Arak'izany, mijery akaiky ny fandriampahaleman'ny vahoaka ve ny governemanta? |
21 | If public security is a concern, why are protesters killed on the streets by the military and police? | Raha ny fandriampahaleman'ny vahoaka no anisan'ny vaindohan-draharahany, nahoana no novonoin'ny tafika sy ny polisy ny mpanao fihetsiketsehana teny an-dalana ? |
22 | Or is it about repression in order to impede the upstart of larger dissenting movements? | Sa ve famaizana mba hanakanana ny fiterahan'ny hetsi-panoherana lehibe izany? |
23 | If public order is a goal, is it not inevitable that the insidious killing of protesters by the police and military will increase the likelihood of violent confrontations in the future? | Raha ny filaminam-bahoaka no tanjona, tsy azo nialana ve fa ny famonoana mahatsiravina natao tamin'ireo mpanao fihetsiketsehana nataon'ny polisy sy ny tafika, dia mety hampitombo ny tahan'ny fifandonana mahery vaika any aoriana any? |
24 | Nigel writes further: | Nigel nanazava bebe kokoa : |
25 | It is precisely because of the precedent set with the failure to ensure proper conduct in the response of the security forces and police to civilian protests - in Navanthurai, Pottuvil, Kinniya, Puttalam, Katunayake and elsewhere - and to institute proper reforms following violations that we have to contend with brutal incidents such as the one in Chilaw. | Noho ny tsy fahombiazana fanao teo aloha amin'ny fanerena amin'ny fitondrantenan'ny mpitandro ny filaminana sy ny polisy mifandona amin'ny mpanao fihetsiketsehana- tao Navanthurai, Pottuvil, Kinniya, Puttalam, Katunayake ary tany an-kafa - sy ny tokony handraisana fepetra sahaza noho izany olana izany, no tokony hiatrehantsika ny loza mahatsiravina toy ny tao Chilaw. |
26 | The government seems to have no qualms about the continued use of the military in enforcing public order despite the fact that its interventions have been an unmitigated disaster. | Toa hita fa tsy menatra mihitsy ny governemanta mampiasa foana ireo tafika mba hanajana ny filaminam-bahoaka na dia efa fikorontanana tanteraka aza no afitsok'izany. |
