5 | The half a million leaked documents dubbed the Saudi Cables offer a peek into Saudi Arabia's obsession with media coverage of the 2011 Bahraini uprising and the role it played in shaping propaganda. | Manome topimaso amin'ny fisainan'i Arabia Saodita momba ireo fandrakofan'ny haino aman-jery ilay hetsi-panoherana tany Bahrain tamin'ny 2011 sy ny andraikitra nolalaoviny tamin'ny famolavolàna ny fanentanana ireo Saoudi Cables - tahirin-tsoratra tafaporitsaka miisa antsasaka tapitrisa antsoina hoe : . |
6 | It's no state secret that the neighboring kingdoms have a close relationship. | Tsy tsiambaratelom-panjakana intsony ny hoe misy fifandraisana akaiky dia akaiky eo amin'ireo fanjakana mpifanolo-bodirindrina. |
7 | The Saudi government sent the Peninsula Shield forces to crush the anti-government movement that swept through Bahrain, with protesters calling for democratic reforms and more freedoms. | Nandefa ny hery Fiarovan'ilay Saikinosy ny fitondrana Saodiana mba handrava ilay hetsika manohitra ny fitondrana izay nanerana an'i Bahrain, miaraka amin'ireo mpanohitra izay mitaky fanavaozana demokratika sy fahalalahana kokoa. |
8 | When entering the word “Bahrain” into the search tab of whistleblowing site WikiLeaks, 145 English and 790 Arabic documents appear as of now. | Rehefa soratana eo amin'ny faritra voatokana hanaovana fikarohana ao amin'ny tranonkala mpitsoka fanairana WikiLeaks ny teny hoe “Bahrain” dia tahirin-tsoratra 145 amin'ny teny anglisy sy 790 amin'ny fiteny Arabo no miseho eo amin'izao. |
9 | Saudi Foreign Ministry telegram showing Al Arabiya channel's correspondent in Bahrain kept officials up to date on interviews he conducted with government officials about the situation in Bahrain. | Telegraman'ny Ministeran'ny Raharaham-bahiny Saodiana mampiseho fa nampilaza ny manampahefana ny solontenan'ny fahitalavitra Arabiya any Bahrain, tao anaty tafatafa nifanaovany tamin'ny solontenam-panjakana momba ny toe-draharaha any Bahrain |
10 | A telegram issued by the Saudi Foreign Ministry showed Al Arabiya channel's correspondent in Bahrain Mohammed Al-Arab was in contact with the ministry to keep them informed of the interviews he conducted with government officials about the situation in Bahrain. | Nasehon'ilay telegrama nalefan'ny Ministeran'ny Raharaham-bahiny Saodiana fa nifandray tamin'ny ministera i Mohammed Al-Arab, solontenan'ny fahitalavitra Al Arabiya any Bahrain, mba hampahafantatra azy ireo ny vaovao momba ny resadresaka nifanaovany tamin'ireo solontenam-panjakana momba ny toe-draharaha any Bahrain. |
11 | He conducted an interview with the Pakistani president in which he discussed the situation in Bahrain and stressed his country's support of the Gulf Cooperation Council‘s (GCC) position on Bahrain's uprising, and that he shares the Saudi king's concern regarding that matter. | Nidinidinika tamin'ny Filoha Pakistane izy ka noresahana tamin'izany ny toe-draharaha any Bahrain ary nanasongadina ny fanohanan'ny fireneny ny fepetra noraisin'ny Gulf Cooperation Council‘s (GCC) - Filankevi-Piarahamiasan'ny Gôlfa - momba ny korontana any Bahrain sy ny fiarahany mitaintaina amin'ny mpanjaka Saodiana mikasika io toe-draharaha io. |
12 | It is not clear in the document what position the Pakistani president is referring to. | Tsy mazava tsara ny fipetraky ny filoha Pakistane ao amin'io rakitra io. |
13 | In another cable, the Saudi ambassador in London reported to the Saudi government that Bahraini opposition channel Lualua TV is funded by the US and the UK governments, after having suffered from financial problems. | Tao anaty telegrama iray, notaterin'ilay masoivoho Saodiana any Londona tamin'ny fitondrana Saodiana fa vatsian'ny governemanta Amerikana sy ny governemanta Anglisy vola ny fahitalavitra mpanohitra iray any Bahrain, ny Lualua TV, rehefa nandalo fahasahiranana ara-bola. |
14 | Um Ahmed tweeted a picture of it: | Nobitsihin'i Um Ahmed ny sarin'izany : |
15 | Lualua TV is funded on the condition of avoiding criticism of Bahrain's king | Vatsiana vola ny Lualua TV raha toa ka tsy mitsikera ny mpanjakan'i Bahrain |
16 | The cable also states the funding condition was to shift the pressure on King Hamad to criticism of the Prime Minister Khalifa bin Salman Al Khalifa, the king's uncle. | Ambaran'io hafatra io ihany koa fa fepetra takian'ilay famatsiana ny famadihana ny tsindry atao amin'ny mpanjaka Hamad ho fitsikerana ny Piraiministra Khalifa bin Salman Al Khalifa, dadatoan'ny mpanjaka. |
17 | The US and the UK are primary allies to the regime in Bahrain, and played a double standard role with the opposition there. | Ny Amerikana sy ny Anglisy no sady mpiara-miasa voalohany amin'ny fitondrana any Bahrain no mandray anjara fototra miaraka amin'ny mpanohitra any. |
18 | Bahrain, being home to the American naval base and the future home of a British one, it is not in the two countries' benefit to lay off the king. | Bahrain, amin'ny maha-mpampiantrano ny tafika an-dranomasina Amerikana sy hampiantrano ny an'ny Anglisy azy, tsy tombontsoan'ireo firenena roa ireo ny hanalàna ny mpanjaka. |
19 | However, not to tarnish their democratic image in the international community, shifting criticism to the prime minister at least reflects the West's belief in true democracy and freedoms. | Na izany aza, mba tsy hanaratsiana ny sariny manoloana ny fikambanana demokratika iraisam-pirenena dia ny fanisahana ny tsikera ho any amin'ny Praiminisitra, farafaharatsiny, no taratry ny finoan'ireo firenena Tandrefana ny demokrasia marina sy ny fahalalahana. |
20 | Another report, labeled “Secret and Urgent” signed by the former Saudi minister of communications and information technology Mohamed Jameel Mulla on June 1, 2012, states that the Saudi minister of information had a meeting with Bahrain's director of information affairs to discuss the Iranian state-owned TV channel Al-Alam. | Tatitra iray hafa, atao hoe “Tsiambaratelo sy Maika Be” nosoniavin'ny minisitry teo aloha nisahana ny serasera sy ny teknolojian'ny torohay Saodiana, Mohamed Jameel Mulla, tamin'ny 01 Jona 2012 dia milaza fa nihaona tamin'ny talen'ny filazàm-baovaon'i Bahrain ny minisitry ny filazàm-baovao Saodiana mba hiresaka momba ilay Fahitalavi-panjakana Iraniana Al-Alam. |
21 | Bahrain's representative had mentioned in the meeting he will present a memo at the Arab Satellite Communications Organization's (Arabsat) general assembly requesting they stop the broadcast of the Iran-based channel. | Nambaran'ilay solontenan'i Bahrain tamin'ilay fihaonana fa hasehony amin'ny Fivoriamben'ny Fikambanana Arabo ho an'ny Fifandraisana amin'ny Zanabolana (Arabsat) ny taratasy fampahatsiahivana mangataka ny hampiatoan-dry zareo ny fandefasana ilay fahitalavitra any Iran. |
22 | A report labeled “Secret and Urgent” states that the Saudi minister of information had a meeting with Bahrain's director of information affairs to discuss the Iranian state-owned TV channel Al-Alam. | Tatitra atao hoe “Tsiambaratelo sy Maika Be” manambara fa nihaona tamin'ny lehiben'ny filazàm-baovao any Bahrain ny ministry ny Filazam-baovao Saodiana mba hiresaka momba ny fahitalavi-panjakana Iraniana Al-Alam. |
23 | The Saudi minister wrote he attended the meeting, held in Beirut on May 26, 2012, and reported that Saudi Arabia, as well as other member states, supported Bahrain's request. | Notantarain'ny ministra Saodiana fa nanatrika ilay fivoriana tany Beyruth tamin'ny 26 May 2012 izy, ary notateriny fa amin'ny maha-fanjakana mpikambana azy, tahàka ireo firenena hafa mpikambana ihany koa, dia nanohana ny hatak'i Bahrain i Arabia Saodita. |
24 | Arabsat, whose headquarters is in the Saudi capital Riyadh, is the leading communications satellite operator in the Arab world. | Ny Arabsat izay manana ny foibeny any Ryad, renivohitra Saodiana, no lohany amin'ny fandraharahana amin'ny serasera an-janabolana any amin'ny tontolo Arabo. |
25 | Al-Alam, on the other hand, dedicated its coverage to supporting the opposition in Bahrain against the government, which the regime claimed fueled the unrest and played a role in the sectarian divide. | Etsy andanin'izany ny Al-Alam, nandefa ny fandrakofana nataony hanohanana ny mpanohitra ny fitondrana izay amafisin'ny fitondrana fa nanosika ny korontana ary nitàna andraikitra tamin'ny fampizarazaràna any Bahrain. |
26 | The document also states that Bahrain had also requested for Arabsat's executive body to be more active in monitoring all channels and their content. | Ambaran'ilay rakitra ihany koa fa takian'i Bahrain ny vovonana mpanatanteraky ny Arabsat mba havitrika kokoa amin'ny fifehezana ny fahitalavitra rehetra sy ny votoatiny. |
27 | But in the end, Bahrain's request was met with no response. | Fa tany amin'ny farany, tsy nisy valiny intsony ny fangatahan'i Bahrain. |
28 | An article on Middle East Online published on the day that the general assembly was held said Bahrain will stop broadcasting its channels on Arabsat starting June 1 in a move to boycott its inaction over Iran's “hostile” media campaign against the regime. | Nisy lahatsoratra navoaka tao amin'ny Middle East Online (Aterineton'ny Afovoany Atsinanana), tamin'ny andro nanaovana ilay fivoriambe, nilaza fa tsy maintsy hatsahatr'i Bahrain ny fandefasany ny fahitalaviny amin'ny Arabsat manomboka ny 1 Jona ho fanaovana ankivy noho ny tsy fihetsehan'ny Arabsat manoloana ny fampielezankevitra “mamelively” ataon'i Iràna amin'ny fitondrana any amin'ny haino aman-jery. |
29 | Zain Benjamin, a journalist for Radio Sawa based in Washington DC, tweeted a two-page letter written and signed by the Saudi minister of culture and information in which he says that Bahrain had become the hub for media criticism of both the Bahraini and Saudi government. | Nobitsihan'i Zain Benjamin, mpanao gazetin'ny Radio Sawa any Washington DC, ny taratasy roa pejy voasoratra sy nosoniavin'ny minisitry ny Kolontsaina sy ny fampahalalam-baovao Saodiana izay ilazany fa i Bahrain no ivon'ny fitsikerana amin'ny haino aman-jery manjo ny fitondrana Bahraini sy Saodiana. |

31 | There was a specific mention of Reuters correspondent in Bahrain, Andrew Hammond, who the Saudi government claims to have kicked out of the country previously when he was based in Riyadh for allegedly writing biased articles. | Nisy fanamarihana manokan'ny solontenan'ny Reuters any Bahrain, Andrew Hammod, izay nambaran'ny fitondrana Saodiana fa efa noroahana tany Arabia Saodita tamin'ny fotoana nipetrahany tany Riyadh, noho ny tsy fitanilàn'ny lahatsorany. |
32 | The minister continues to say Hammond had now moved to Bahrain to continue his attack against both governments, to the point that it went beyond only reporting but also using his personal Twitter account to publish “insulting phrases.” | Ambaran'ilay minisitra fa miasa any Bahrain i Hammond amin'izao fotoana izao ary mbola manenjika ireo governemanta roa tonta, tena mihoatra ny tokony ho izy izany satria tsy vitan'ny mitantara fotsiny ihany fa mampiasa ny kaonty Twitter-ny ihany koa mba hizaràna ” fehezanteny manivaiva.” |
33 | In the letter addressed to the Saudi king, the minister had asked to be allowed to meet the Bahraini Director of Information Affairs Fawaz Al-Khalifa to discuss collective media policies and strategies in order to counter campaigns of foreign media coverage on the uprising. | Nangataka fahazoan-dàlana hihaona amin'ny Lehiben'ny Fampahalalam-baovao Bahraini, Fawaz Al-Khalifa, ny minisitra tamin'ny taratasy nosoratany ho an'ny mpanjaka Saodiana mba hiresahana ny momba ny politika sy ny paikady iombonana momba ny haino aman-jery mba hanoherana ny fanentanan'ny fandrakofan'ny haino aman-jery vahiny momba ny fikomiana. |
34 | Saudi Arabia did not stop there, but also adopted a strategy to push news that emphasizes regional rival Iran's interference in Gulf states, especially Bahrain and Kuwait, as well as in Iraq. | Tsy nijanona teo Arabia Saodita, fa nanangana paikady hanosehana ireo vaovao izay manamafy ny fitsabahan'i Iràna mpifaninana aminy any amin'ireo firenena ao Gôlfa, indrindra fa i Bahrain, Koety ary Iràka. |
35 | This appeared in another document, which states that there needs to be a focus on countering Iranian media by taking advantage of and supporting religious channels, particularly ones that prescribe to the Salafist Islamic movement. | Hita any anaty rakitra iray hafa izany, izay milaza fa ilaina ny fifantohana amin'ny fanoherana ny haino aman-jery Iraniana amin'ny fakàna tombony avy aminy sy fanohanana ireo fahitalavitry ny antokom-pivavahana, indrindra ireo izay manohana ny hetsika Silamo Salafist. |
36 | It also promoted guiding preachers to Iran so that they could deliver the message inside that country. | Mamporisika ihany koa ireo mpitari-pivavahana any Iràna izy mba hitory ilay hafatra ao anatin'io firenena io. |
37 | A leaked document that shows Saudi Arabia's desire to combat Iranian media by taking advantage of and supporting religious channels. | Rakitra iray tafaporitsaka mampiseho ny fanirian'i Arabia Saodita hiady amin'ny haino aman-jery Iraniana amin'ny fakàna tombony avy aminy sy ny fanohanana ireo fahitalavitry ny antokom-pivavahana. |
