1 | No Exit Visa: The Cuban Diaspora Speaks | Tsy Misy Fahazoan-dàlana Hivoaka: Miteny Ireo Kiobàna Any Am-pielezana |
2 | After much anticipation, it has finally happened. | Taorian'ireo vinavina, nitranga ihany ilay izy nony farany. |
3 | The Cuban government has done away with the need for an exit visa - essentially state permission - to leave the country. | Nofoanan'ny governemanta Kiobàna ny filàna fahazoan-dàlana hivoaka - indrindra fa ny fanomezan-dàlan'ny fanjakana - handao ny firenena. |
4 | Bloggers, many of them from the Cuban diaspora, have been sharing their thoughts on this new development. | Ireo bilaogera, avy amin'ny Kiobàna any am-pielezana no ankamaroan'izy ireny, dia nizara ny fomba fisainany mikasika ity fivoaran-draharaha vaovao ity. |
5 | Havana Times (an on-island blog) provided a bit of context to the situation: | Havana Times (bilaogy iray ao amin'ilay nosy) dia nanolotra vitsivitsy momba izay manodidina ity toe-draharaha ity: |
6 | Cubans will no longer need an exit permit and an invitation from their intended destination to be allowed to travel. | Tsy hila fahazoan-dàlana hivoaka intsony, sy fanasàna avy amin'izay fitodiana tokony halehany vao ho afaka hivoaka. |
7 | The government of Cuban President Raul Castro had announced in mid-February plans to lift travel restrictions, which were among the reforms most longed-for among citizens of the Communist country. | Nanambara drafitra ho fanesorana ireo fitsipika fameperana ny fahafaha-mivezivezy ny governemantan'ny Filoha Kiobàna Raul Castro tamin'ny tapaky ny Febroary, izay ao anatin'ireo fanavaozana tena nirian'ny olom-pirenena fatratra avy amin'ny firenena Kaomionista. |
8 | From Monday, Cubans need only a valid passport and a visa from their destination country to be able to temporarily travel abroad. | Hatramin'ny Alatsinainy, pasipaoro manan-kery sy fanomezan-dàlana avy amin'ny firenena hotsidihany ihany no ilain'ny Kiobàna mba hahafahan-dry zareo mivahiny amin'ny fotoana voafetra any ivelany. |
9 | Under the new legislation, Cubans will also be allowed to stay abroad for up to 24 months, compared with 11 months until now. | Eo ambanin'ilay lalàna vaovao, ho afaka ihany koa ry zareo Kiobàna hijanona any ivelany mandritra ny 24 volana, miohatra amin'ilay 11 volana nihatra hatramin'izao. |
10 | Further, migrants who have illegally left Cuba since 1994 will also be allowed to return. | Ankoatra izany, ireo niala an-tsokosoko an'i Kiobà tamin'ny fomba tsy ara-dalàna nanomboka tamin'ny 1994 koa dia ho afaka hiverina. |
11 | It remained uncertain whether qualified professionals, such as Cuba's doctors and its most prestigious athletes, would be allowed to travel abroad without restrictions. | Mbola tsy azo antoka kosa na mety hahazo alàlana hivoaka tsy misy faneriterena ho any ivelany ireo olona manana fahaizana asa manokana, toy ireo Kiobàna dokotera sy ireo atletany faran'izay manan-daza. |
12 | The same doubts applied to the country's dissidents. | Mipetraka koa ny fisalasalàna tahaka izany ho an'ireo mpanohitra ao amin'ny firenena. |
13 | Such caveats have been drawing criticism from some diaspora bloggers, even though the move could mean easier visits between family members who have been separated by migration or exile. | Nisarika kiana avy amin'ireo bilaogera any am-pielezana ny fampitandremana tahaka izany, na dia midika fahamoràna kokoa amin'ny fifampitsidihan'ny mpianakavy, ireo mpianakavy izay nosarahan'ny fifindra-monina na ny fanaovana sesitany aza ilay hetsika. |
14 | Babalu, for instance, was sceptical: | Kely finoana ihany, ohatra, i Babalu : |
15 | The Cuba news feed this morning was overflowing with reports on the supposed migratory reforms of the Castro dictatorship that went into effect yesterday on the island. | Ny fàham-baovao ao Kiobà tamin'ity maraina ity dia tondraky ny tatitra mikasika ireo ambara ho fanavaozana ny resa-pifindramonina nataon'ny fitondràna jadon'i Castro izay niditra ho manankery nanomboka omaly tao amin'ilay nosy. |
16 | For the most part, journalists are treating this event as a watershed moment in Cuba's 50+ year history of tyranny. | Amin'ny ampahany betsaka, nataon'ireo mpanao gazety ho toy ny kihon-dàlana goavana amin'ny tantaran'i Kioba tato anatin'ny 50 taona mahery nisian'ny tsy refesi-mandidy ity tranga ity. |
17 | This in spite of the fact the Castro regime still completely controls who can and cannot leave Cuba and there are no real indications the ‘reforms' will reform much of anything. | Io dia na dia eo aza ny hoe mbola mifehy tanteraka hatrany ny ‘iza no ho afaka handao na tsia an'i Kiobà' ny fitondràn'i Castro, sady tsy misy fambara na kely aza hoe ilay ‘fanavaozana' dia tena hanavao zavatra betsaka tokoa. |
18 | Nevertheless, the media does not need much prodding when it comes to touting the magnanimity of Raul Castro's dictatorship, and this questionable story is as good as any other questionable story on the Cuban dictatorship as an excuse to throw a party. | Na izany aza, tsy ilain'ny fampahalalam-baovao ny manindry be manampy tosika rehefa fideraderana ny hatsaran-toetra sy fitseran'ny fitondrana jadon'i Raul Castro no resahana, ary ity tantara mampiahiahy ity dia fialàna bàla fotsiny toy ireo tantara hafa mampiahiahy momba ny fitondràna jadona Kiobàna ho famelomana indray ny antoko iray. |
19 | However, the proof, as they say, will be in the pudding. | Kanefa, araka ny ambaran'izy ireo, dia ho ao anatin'ny ‘pudding' ny porofo. |
20 | Notes from the Cuban Exile Quarter took issue with a press statement by John McAuliff (of the Fund for Reconciliation and Development, whom the blogger describes as lobbying “for engagement between the United States government and the dictatorship in Cuba”), in which he stated that “Cuba now provides greater freedom of travel to virtually all of its citizens than does the U.S.”: | Ny taratasy avy amin'ny “Cuban Exile Quarter” (isan-Telovolan'ireo Kiobàna an-tSesitany) dia nanohitra ny fanambarana an-gazety iray nataon'i John McAuliff (avy ao amin'ny Tahiry ho an'ny Fampihavanana sy Fampandrosoana, izay tondroin'ilay bilaogera ho mpandōlo “mba hisian'ny fifanarahana eo amin'ny governemanta Amerikana sy ny mpanao jadona ao Kiobà”), izay nilazàny fa “manome fahafahana midadasika saika ho an'ireo olom-pireneny rehetra mihitsy i Kiobà mba ho afa-mivezivezy, mitaha amin'ny ataon'i Etazonia. ”: |
21 | With all due respect to Mr. McAuliff but the above statement is not borne out by the facts and would earn him the laughter of many Cubans. | Miaraka amin'ny fanajàna rehetra tokony hatolotro an'Ing McAuliff, tsy mifanaraka amin'ny zava-misy marina ka mety hahatonga azy hihomehezan'ny Kiobàna marobe ilay fanambaràna etsy ambony. |
22 | For example, Rosa María Payá was not allowed by the Cuban government to travel to Chile between January 8 through the 15th in Santiago, Chile. | Ohatra, i Rosa María Payá tsy navelan'ny governemanta Kiobana hivahiny tany Santiago, Shily teo anelanelan'ny 8 sy 15 Janoary. |
23 | Its not only the Cubans that contradict his claim. | Tsy ny Kiobàna irery no handiso ny fitakiany. |
24 | The United States government does not restrict doctors and athletes from traveling outside of the country. | Etazonia tsy manisy sakantsakana mihitsy amin'ny fivezivezezin'ireo mpitsabo sy mpanao fanatanjahantena mankany ivelan'ny fireneny. |
25 | This is not the first time that the press and ‘Cuba experts' have jumped on a Castro regime announcement while ignoring news that contradicts their optimistic assessment. | Tsy vao voalohany izao no nitsoraka tamin'ny fanambaràna iray nataon'ny fitondràna Castro ireo mpanao gazety sy ny ‘manampahaizana manokana momba an'i Kiobà' sady ninia tsy hahalala ny vaovao izay mandiso ireny vinavina feno fanantenana nataon'izy ireny. |
26 | The post concluded: | Namàrana ilay lahatsoratra hoe: |
27 | Whether it is the issue of censorship or freedom to travel the regime in Cuba has made lots of noise but the underlying policies of control and repression remain intact. | Na io resaka sivana na fahalalahana hivezivezy, dia nanao izay hiresahana betsaka ny aminy tokoa ny fitondrana ao Kiobà, saingy mitoetra tsy misy tomika ny politika mifanandrify amin'izany mametraka ny fanarahamaso sy ny famoretana. |
28 | The changes carried out by the Cuban dictatorship are new rules for the same old game: hanging on to power. | Ireo fiovàna nentin'ny fitondrana jadona Kiobàna dia ireo fepetra vaovao hifehy ny lalao taloha efa fanao hatrizay ihany: fifikirana amin'ny fahefana. |
29 | Capitol Hill Cubans, meanwhile, linked to a mainstream media article which suggested that there were unforeseen - and in all likelihood prohibitive - costs associated with the new migration law. | Capitol Hill Cubans, mandritra izany, dia nandrohy nankany aminà lahatsoratra iray nivoaka tamin'ny fampahalalam-baovao mahazatra izay nanosoka ny hoe nisy fandaniana tsy nampoizina - ary araka ny fahita azy rehetra dia toa midangana - nifandray amin'ilay lalàna vaovao momba ny fifindrà-monina. |
30 | Along the Malecon, however, was hopeful, and used a tweet by grounded dissident Yoani Sanchez (who has repeatedly been denied a travel visa) as justification for his optimism: | Ny Malecon, anefa, feno fanantenana, ary nampiasa bitsika iray avy amin'ilay mpanohitra Yoani Sanchez (izay efa imbetsaka no nolavina tsy nomena fahazoan-dàlana hivoaka) ho fanamarinana ny fitokisany: |
31 | Cuba is evolving ever so slowly - certainly not fast enough for some - but it is changing. | Mivoatra faran'izay miadana i Kiobà - ary angamba tsy haingana araka izay nantenain'ny sasany - saingy miova izy. |
32 | The latest evidence: Famed Cuban blogger Yoani Sánchez says she will be allowed to leave the country and return, under new immigration rules that went into effect on Jan. 14. Sánchez tweeted her delight: Will this be our Berlin Wall that falls? | Ny porofo farany indrindra: Yoani Sánchez, vehivavy Kiobàna bilaogera, miteny fa ho avela hivoaka ny firenena izy ary hiverina, eo ambanin'ity lalàna vaovao mifehy ny fifindra-monina ity, izay niditra nanan-kery tamin'ny 14 Jan. Nibitsika ny fientanentanany i Sánchez: Ity ve no ho fianjeran'ny rindrin'i Berlin aty amintsika? |
33 | I do not know! | Tsy fantatro! |
34 | One of the tweets the blogger was referring to is no doubt this update: | Ny iray amin'ireo bitsika tian'ilay bilaogera holazaina dia tsy isalasalàna fa ity fanavaozam-baovao ity : |
35 | @yoanisanchez: #Cuba Calculate that by the 1st week of February I will have my passport be able to travel… fingers crossed. | @yoanisanchez: #Cuba Manao kajikajy hoe amin'ny herinandro voalohany amin'ny volana Febroary aho no hahazo ny pasipaoro hahafahako mivezivezy… mivavaka mafy. |
36 | I'll believe it when I am in the plane! | Rehefa any anaty fiaramanidina aho vao hino azy ity! |
