2 | As the people of Mali were preparing for elections, they were caught unawares by a military coup on March 21, 2012, and the threat of partition of north Mali. | Hiatrika fifidianana ny Maliana atsy ho atsy. Samy mikarakara ny kaonty twitter-ny, ny facebook sy ny google + avokoa ireo kandidà matanjaka. |
3 | At the time of the coup the principal candidates were readying their Twitter and Google+ accounts along with their Facebook pages, while citizens were updating their blogs and honing their tweets. | Ny olom-pirenena kosa miomana amin'ny lahatsoratra bilaogy sy ny fandefasana bitsika. Sahira-tsaina noho ny fanonganam-panjakana sy ny mety ho fivakisan'i Mali Avaratra avokoa ny rehetra . |
4 | While news from the north, cut off and deprived of electricity, comes through sparingly, in the South, the internet allows mobilisation. | Raha tonga tsikelikely ny vaovao avy any Avaratra, izay mitoka-monina sy tsy manana herinaratra, afaka manao fanentanana amin'ny alalan'ny aterineto kosa ny ao Atsimo. |

6 | The ‘Collectif des Ressortissants du Nord' (The Northern Citizens' Collective) or COREN has 303 members of its Facebook group at the time of writing. | Ahitana mpikambana 303 ao amin'ny pejy Facebook-ny ny Collectif des Ressortissants du Nord (COREN) ( Ny Fitambaramben' ny Olom-pirenena ao Avaratra). |
7 | For the last few weeks, COREN have mobilised the people of Mali throughout the entire territory, with the page notably being used to announce upcoming events as well as to demonstrate solidarity as shown in the following status update from group member Oumar Maigar: | Tao anatin'ny herinandro vitsivitsy, nanentana ireo maliana ny COREN ny amin'ny fitandroana ny mahairay ny firenena Mali. Natao indrindra ny pejy Facebook mba hamoahana ireo tranga maroloha hiseho mandritra ny herinandro maro hoavy na koa hanehoana ny firaisankinany: |

9 | While the internet is inundated with blogs, tweets and videos from other countries, Malian internet users remain silent. | Tototry ny bilaogy, tweet, sy lahatsary avy any ivelany ny tontolon'ny aterineto, somary mangingina kosa ny mpiserasera maliana. |
10 | The capital, Bamako, is still affected by serious power cuts as the fuel required for power stations runs out. | Satria iharan'ny fahatapahan-jiro lava matetika ny renivohitra Bamako kanefa tsy misy ny lasantsy tokony hampadehanana ny tobim-pamatsiana herinaratra. |
11 | Under these circumstances, the priority is not sending messages, but finding information about the new leaders of the north. | Tsy ny fandefasana lahatsoratra araka izany no vaindohan-draharaha fa ny ahitana vaovao momba ny zava-mitranga ao Avaratra. |
12 | The website of the Tuareg run National Movement for the Liberation of Azawad, known as the MNLA, has been offline for a week. | Tao anatin'ny herinandro, tsy mandeha ny tranokalan'ny du Mouvement National de Libération de l'Azawad ( MNLA) (Hetsika Nasionaly ho Fanahafahana an'i Azawad). |
13 | (Note: As of 10/04/2012 the site is once more accessible). | Na izany aza, manohy mamoaka lahatsary ao amin'ny kaonty Youtube-ny, Azawad17janoary2012 ny hetsika. |
14 | Nevertheless the movement continues to post videos on its youtube account, Azawad17janv2012 [fr]. | Nisafidy nanao fanambarana tao amin'ny onjam-peo frantsay France 24 ny MNLA fa mahaleo-tena izy. |
15 | The MNLA chose to make its declaration of independence on French TV channel France 24. The declaration shocked Malians who spread anger and mocking remarks on the internet, like the following on Twitter: | Nanafintohina ny maliana izany fanambarana izany ka nampitombo ny hatezerana sy ny vazivazy tao amin'ny aterineto, tahaka ity hita tao amin'ny twitter ity: |
16 | MNLA propaganda, the media should in that case invite all the separatists of the world to their TV channels. | “@Skante2: Fampielezan-kevitry MNLA, tokony hasain'ireo haino aman-jery avokoa ny mpisaratsaraka rehetra manerantany ho vahininy amin'ny fampahalalam-baovao. |
17 | There would be a traffic jam. | Ho hita eo ny fitohanana.” |
18 | But what stole the show were images from the Islamist movement Ansar Dine which has taken the city of Timbuktu. | Saingy ny tena malaza, dia ireo endriky ny hetsika islamista Ansar Dine izay tonga tao an-tanànan'i Timbouctou. |
19 | The images taken by AFP-Télé have so far reached 7,200 views and have been widely discussed in the streets of Bamako. | Nahatratra mpitsidika 7,200 ny sary nalain'ny Fahitalavitra AFP-Télé. Niadian-kevitra be teny an-dalana ao Bamako izany. |
20 | [fr] While chaos reigns over the situation in North Mali, some people have nevertheless managed to find a way to profit from it, as shown by this tweet from user @flagsonline: | Azo lazaina araka izany fa mbola manjaka ao avaratr'i Mali ny korontana, misy ireo sasany mahita fomba hitadiavana tombotsoa amin'izany: |
