7 | In 1993, Ahmed Hussen arrived in Canada alone, a 16-year-old refugee from Somalia. | Tamin'ny 1993 i Ahmed Hussen, mpitsoaponenana 16 taona avy any Somalia, no tonga irery tao Canada. |
8 | This week, the lawyer and father of two was elected to Canada's parliament, the first-ever member ever of Somali descent. | Tamin'ity herinandro ity, voafidy ho ao amin'ny parlemantan'i Canada, mpikambana voalohany indrindra avy amin'ny taranaka Somali ity mpahay lalàna mananjanaka roa ity. |

10 | “I think it really breaks new ground,” he says. | “Mieritreritra aho fa tena mamaky tany vaovao izy ity,” hoy izy. |
11 | “It shows that Canada is one of the greatest countries in world where you can integrate quickly into the mainstream and be all you can be.” | “Mampiseho izao fa iray amin'ny firenena mahafinaritra indrindra manerantany i Canada fa mora tafiditra ao anatin'ny sarambabembahoaka haingana ianao ary mety ho tonga any amin'izay irinao rehetra.” |
12 | Hussen will represent the York South-Weston, a heavily immigrant district of Toronto. | Hisolo tena ny York South-Weston, disitrika iray betsaka mpifindramonina ao Toronto i Hussen. |
13 | Canada is home to an estimated 150,000 Somali Canadians. | Heverina ho mampiatrano Somali Kanadiana eo ho eo amin'ny 150.000 i Canada. |
14 | “For a community that's relatively new and relatively insular, I think a lot of Canadians of Somali background and a lot of young people who I've worked with see this victory as something that inspires them to achieve more.” | “Somary zava-baovao sy tsy fahita firy izao ho an'ny fiarahamonina, Heveriko fa maro amin'ireo Kanadiana fiaviana Somali sy ny maro amin'ireo tanora niasa niaraka tamiko no mahita ity fandresena ity ho zavatra mampisy aingam-panahy azy ireo hamita zavatra bebe kokoa.” |
15 | Hussen's road to Parliament is a kind of Horatio Alger-in-Canada story (Alger was an American novelist famous for his stories about boys who escape poverty through honesty and hard work). | Ny lalan'i Hussen nankany amin'ny Parlemanta dia mitovitovy amin'ny tantaran'i Horatio Alger ao Canada (I Alger dia Amerikana mpanao tantara foronina malaza amin'ny tantarany miresaka ireo zatovolahy mandositra ny fahantrana amin'ny alalan'ny asa mafy sy madio). |
16 | After he arrived from Somalia as a teenager, Hussen finished high school, lived with family members in public housing and worked at low-paid jobs to save money for college. | Rehefa tonga mbola tanora avy any Somalia i Hussen dia namita ny lisea, niaraka niaina tamin'ny fianakaviana tao amin'ny fampiatranoan'ny fanjakana ary nanao ireo asa kely karama hanangonam-bola hianarana any amin'ny Kolejy [oniversite]. |
17 | He also volunteered for local politicians. | Nanao asa maimaimpoana ho an'ireo politisiana tao an-toerana ihany koa izy. |
18 | That led to recommendations for paid work and eventually Hussen got a job working for a Liberal Party candidate who eventually became Premier of Ontario. | Izay no nitarika ny fahazoany taratasy fandrisihana handraisana azy hiasa mahazo karama sy nahazoany asa ho fanohanana kandidàn'ny Antoko Liberaly izay lasa lehiben'i Ontario avy eo. |
19 | He left that to become president of the Canadian Somali Congress and community organizing. | Nilaozany izany hahatonga azy ho filohan'ny Kongresy Somali Kanadiana sy mpandrindra ny fikambanana. |
20 | But Hussen is adamant: “I'm Canadian first, and Somali second.” | Saingy tsy nilefitra i Hussen: “Kanadiana aho aloha vao Somali faharoa.” |
21 | If America is famously a melting pot, Canada holds to a different metaphor: a mosaic. | Raha maIaza amin'ny melting pot [fangaro am-bilany] i Etazonia, dia mitazona ny fanoharana hafa kosa i Canada : a mosaic. [ Kivakivakim-bato natambatambatra] |
22 | “Melting pot means you come and everyone just assimilates into one giant hole,” says Hussen. | “Ny Melting pot dia midika fa tonga ianao dia mandrapaka ao anatin'ny lavaka lehibe iray avokoa ny rehetra,” hoy i Hussen. |
23 | “In Canada, we encourage folks to cherish their heritage and their culture but also try to embrace common Canadian values, such as the respect for human rights, the respect for minorities.” | “Ao Canada, mandrisika ny olona izahay hankafy ny lovan-kolontsainy sy ny kolontsainy saingy hamihina ihany koa ny soatoavina Kanadiana iraisana, toy ny fanajana ny zon'olombelona, ny fanajana ireo vitsy an'isa isan-karazany.” |
24 | Like the United States, Canada is made up of people from all over the world and Hussen says the country's strength comes from that diversity. | Tahaka an'i Etazonia dia rafetin'ny olona avy amin'ny vazantany efatr'izao tontolo izao i Canada ary lazain'i Hussen fa avy amin'izany fimaroana izany no misy ny tanjaky ny firenena. |
25 | “Unlike other countries that have been pulled apart because of differences of religion and ethnicity. Canada has somehow managed to a large extent to remain strong and united despite all these differences.” | “Tsy tahaka ireo firenena hafa izany mivakivaky noho ny fahasamihafam-pivavahana sy foko, dia niezala i Canada handrindra ireo fiitarana midadasika hijanonana ho matanjaka sy hiray hina na dia eo aza izany fahasamihafana rehetra izany.” |
26 | Ahmed Hussen says the Canadian-Somali community brings with it certain natural strengths. | Nilaza i Ahmed Hussen fa entin'ny vondrom-piarahamonina Kanadiana-Somaliana ireo tanjany natioraly. |
27 | “There's a very rich history way back from Somalia of entrepreneurship, a willingness to take business risks in places that have been written off. They've brought this to Canada as well.” | “Manana tantara betsaka i Somalia amin'ny resaka fandraisana an-tanana, amin'ny fahasahiana manandrana mandraharaha ankianjoanjo amin'ireo toerana efa nahafaty antoka. Nentiny tany Canada ihany koa izany.” |
28 | Hussen says In Edmonton, Alberta, Canadian Somalis have revitalized entire neighborhoods, opening small businesses, restaurants and shops. | Hoy i Hussen tao Edmonton, Alberta, namelona indray ny mpiaramonina iray manontolo tamin'ny fanokafana fandraharahana madinidinika, efitra fihinanana ary tranombarotra ireo Kanadiana Somaliana. |
29 | The Canadian-Somali community is not without its struggles. | Tsy tonga amin'izao toerana misy azy izao ny fiarahamonina Kanadiana-Somali raha tsy nisy ireo tolona isankarazany. |
30 | There's unemployment, poverty and youth violence. | Nisy ny tsy fananan'asa, fahantrana ary herisetran'ny tanora. |
31 | And Canadian officials say they've intercepted or intervened in a number of cases involving Canadian youths set to join the Somalia-based militant organization al-Shabaab. | Ary nilaza ireo manampahefana Kanadiana fa nahatratra na nirotsaka an-tsehatra tamin'ireo raharahan'ny tanora kanadiana nivonona na niomana hamonjy ireo fikambanana mitam-piadiana al-Shabaab miorina any Somalia ry zareo. |
32 | But Hussen says the numbers are very small. | Saingy nolazain'i Hussen fa vitsy dia vitsy ny isan'ireo tanora ireo. |
33 | “The vast majority of the community is moving forward. | “Mandeha mandroso ny ankamaroan'ireo ao amin'ny vondrom-piarahamonina. |
34 | They're integrating. | Miditra sy miaraka amin'ny fokonolona. |
35 | The young people are graduating from colleges and universities. | Mahazo diplaoma avy amin'ny kolejy sy ny oniversite ny tanora. |
36 | They are increasingly able to access jobs and professions.” | Efa mihamaro ry zareo no mahazo asa sy andraikitra.” |
