1Social Media in Tajikistan's Election: A “Milestone” or Just “Noise”?Ny Tambajotra Sosialy Eo Anatrehan'ny Fifidianana Tao Tadjikistan : “Dingana Lehibe ” Ve Sa “Tabataba” Fotsiny Ihany ?
2The recent presidential election in Tajikistan was unprecedented in terms of the amount of social media discussion it had stirred.Nahatonga adihevitra tsy mbola fahita mihitsy tanaty tambajotra sosialy ilay fifidianana Filoham-pirenena natao tao Tadjikistan iny, ary tena nanatsinkafona mihitsy.
3It is unclear, however, whether that discussion really made any difference as the outcome of the November 6 polls was not too much different from the previous elections held in the country.Tsy mazava, anefa raha nitndra fiovàna ilay izy satria tsy dia samihafa loatra famin'ny vokatr'ireo fifidianana natao teo aloha tao amn'ny firenena ny vokatry ny fifidianana ny 06 Novambra teo.
4A “milestone”“Dingana Iray Lehibe”
5On the BBC Media Action blog, journalist Esfandiar Adena asserts:Ao amin'ny bilaogy BBC Media Action, milaza i Esfandiar Adena, mpanao gazety, hoe :
6The run-up to the election has proved a milestone for social media networks in the country - with fierce political debate taking place online and opposition leaders using social networks to call for a boycott of the election.Dingana iray lehibe ho an'ny tambajotra sosialy ao amin'ny firenena ny fotoana talohan'ny fotoam-pifidianana - noho ny fisian'ny adihevitra politika mafonja tanaty aterineto sy ny nampiasàn'ireo mpitarika ny mpanohitra ny tambajotra hiantsoana fanaovana an-kivy ny fifidianana.
7He cites the criticism of the authorities' decision to deprive Tajikistani migrant workers in Russia of an opportunity to vote and the discussion of the idea of a boycott of the polls as examples of the election-related debate that did not happen anywhere except social media.Tanisainy ao ny fanapahan-kevitry ny manampahefana tsy hanome fahafaha-mifidy ho an'ireo Tadjikistan monina any Rosia ary ny adihevitra mikasika ny hevitra “hanaovana an-kivy ny fifidianana” ho ohatra amin'ireo resaka manodidina ny fifidianana, adihevitra izay tsy hita afa-tsy tao amin'ny tambajotra sosialy ihany.
8In a different blog, Adena suggests that in the months running up to the elections, social media became “the battlefield for the most savage skirmishes” between the government and its critics.Ao aminà blaogy iray hafa, milaza i Adena fa tao anatin'izay volana vitsivitsy nisesy talohan'ny fifidianana izay, ny tambajotra sosialy dia lasa “tany fiadiana ho an'ny ady faran'izay tsy misy indrafo” eo amin'ny governemanta sy ireo mpanakiana azy.
9Another BBC journalist, Khayrullo Fayz, claims that the growing internet penetration and the increasing amount of political debate in social media “changed the atmosphere of the elections” in Tajikistan.Mpanao gazety iray avy ao amin'ny BBC, Khayrullo Fayz, no manamafy fa ny fitomboan'ny fahafahana miditra aterineto sy ny fitomboan'ireo adihevitra ara-politika tanaty tambajotra sosialy “no nanova ny rivotry ny fifidianana ” tao Tadjikistan.
10Some netizens agree with these claims.Maro amin'ireo mpisera anaty aterneto no miombon-kevitra amin'izany.
11Temur Mengliev writes [ru] on Blogiston.tj:Manoratra [ru] tao amin'ny Blogiston.tj i Temur Mengliev hoe :
12You know what I will remember this elections for?Fantatrareo ve izay hotsarovako amin'iny fifidianana iny ?
13For the way it was actively discussed in social networks.Noho ilay firesahana azy matetika tao amin'ireny tambajotra sosialy ireny.
14On Odnokassniki, Facebook, and VKontakte, the election generated much more discussion than on television or in “expert” meetings.Tao amin'ny Odnokassniki , Facebook ary VKontakte , tao ny fifidianana no nampiady hevitra indrindra noho ny tany amin'ny fahitalavitra na tany amin'ny fivorian'ireo “manam-pahaizana manokana”.
15I have already written about how much freedom and an opportunity to be heard social networks and blogs give us.Efa nanoratra lahatsoratra aho mikasika ny haben'ny fahalalahana sy ny fahafahana ho heno omen'ny tambajotra sosialy sy ny bilaogy antsika.
16During this election, the internet gave us an opportunity to discuss, criticize, ridicule, offer suggestions, and to disclose electoral violations.Nandritra ity fifidianana ity, ny aterineto no nanome fahafahana ho antsika hanao adihevitra, hanakiana , hihomehy, hanome soso-kevitra, ary koa hamoaka am-pahibemaso ny fandikan-dalàna tamin'ireo fifidianana.
17While only seven years ago, in the 2006 [presidential] polls, we did not have anything of the sort.Raha toa ka fito taona lasa izay, tamin'ilay fitsapankevitra [ fifidianana filoham-pirenena ] ny taona 2006, dia mbola tsy nahita zavatra toy izao mihitsy isika.
18A comparison of these two elections makes it clear how much our society benefits from internet access.Fampitahana tokana an'ireo fifidianana roa ireo dia efa afaka mampahazava ny tombotsoa azon'ny fiarahamonintsika amin'ny fidirana amin'ny aterineto.
19The blogger believes [ru] that the increasing penetration of the internet in Tajikistan's society is having a transformative effect:Mino [ru] ilay bilaogera fa ny firoboroboan'ny fidirana aterineto eo amin'ny fiarahamonina Tadjikistan dia nampisy fiovàna goavana :
20Our people increasingly use the opportunities afforded by the internet.Tsy mitsaha-mitombo mampiasa ireo tolotra omen'ny aterneto hatrany hatrany ny mponina.
21The number of [Tajikistani] blogs and social media profiles is rising.Mitombo be ihany koa ny isan'ireo blaogy sy tambajotra sosialy [tadjik ].
22People no longer access internet only to check their emails and download music.Tsy mijanona fotsiny ho fijerena mailaka sy fangalàna hira intsony no ampiasàn'ny olona ny aterineto.
23They read, think, and most importantly express their opinions.Mamaky, mandinika, ary indrindra indrindra maneho ny heviny ihany koa izy ireo.
24Any article generates dozens of comments within several hours after being published.Saika ahitàna fanehoan-kevitra am-polony avokoa ny lahatsoratra rehetra mivoakaaaorian'ny ora maromaro nivoahany.
25What is it all about?Ahoana izany?
26I believe that the internet gives us an opportunity to improve our lives albeit slowly.Inoako fa manome vahana antsika hampivoatra hatrany ny fiainantsika ny aterineto, eny na dia mandeha miadana aza.
27Our political system will surely change in the not very distant future, and I am sure that young people armed with internet access will play a major role in this change.Hinoana fa tsy maintsy hisy fiovàna ny rafitra ara-politikantsika atsy ho atsy, ary tena resy lahatra aho fa hanana anjara andraikitra lehibe amin'io fiovàna io ireo tanora manana fahafahana mampiasa aterneto.
28Several readers agreed with the blogger.Maro tamin'ireo mpamaky no niombon-kevitra tamin'ilay blaogera.
29Rustam Gulov commented [ru]: Great!Hoy i Rustam Gulov naneho ny heviny [ru] :
30I full agree with your point of view.Tena marina ! miombon-kevitra tanteraka amin'ny fomba fijerinao aho.
31It is very important to recognize the great potential of the internet in helping resolve socio-political issues…Zava-dehibe tokoa ny fanekena ny tanjaka goavan'ny aterineto amin'ny fitadiavana vahaolana amin'ny olana sosialy sy politika…
32Digital Tajikistan shared a link to the blog on Twitter, suggesting [ru] that the way the government dealt with online criticism demonstrated that social media mattered:Digital Tajikistan dia nizara rohy avy amin'ilay bloagy nankany amin'ny Twitter , nilaza [ru] fa ny fomba namalian'ny governemanta ireny kiana anaty aterineto ireny dia nampiseho fa manan-daja ny tambajotra sosialy :
33The fact that the authorities cut access to websites and social networks so often also shows that they are afraid of the internet.Ny fanapahan'ny manampahefana ny fidiràna anaty vohikala maro sy tambajota sosialy maro ihany koa dia maneho fa matahotra ny aterineto izy ireo.
34“Just noise”“Tabataba fotsiny ihany”
35Yet some netizens think that social media debate mattered little as it did not have any influence on the result of the polls.Kanefa, misy ireo sasany mpisera anaty aterneto no mihevitra fa tsy dia nisy fiantraikany firy ilay adihevitra tanaty aterineto, satria tsy nipaka tany amin'ny valim-pifidianana akory.
36Commenting under Mengliev's blog, Izbiratel' [Voter] wrote [ru]:Tamin'ny fanehoan-keviny tao amin'ilay blaogin'ny Mengliev, Izbiratel' [mpifidy] no nanoratra fa [ru] :
37On the internet it seemed as if there was a real election, real struggle.Tao amin'ny aterineto, toy ny hoe tena nisy fifidianana mihitsy, tena ady.
38In [real] life, however, everything remained the way it had been before.Kanefa tamin'ny fiainana [ tena izy ] kosa, nijanona toy ny teo aloha ihany ny zavatra rehetra.
39Another user, Alexey Somin, chipped in [ru]:Iray hafa mpampiasa aterineto , Alexey Somin, no nanisy sira toy izao [ru] :
40Don't exaggerate.Aza dia mampitombo resaka.
41Well, yes, there was some noise and buzz on the internet. But noise is just noise.Eny e, marina fa nisy adihevitra kely sy resabe tanaty aterineto. kanefa ilay tabataba dia nijanona ho tabataba fotsiny ihany.
42Did it have any influence of the elections?Moa ve nisy fiantraikany tamin'ny fifidianana izy iny ?
43But Blog Avestiyca suggests [ru] that even if active social media discussion did not have a major impact on the outcome of the polls, the very fact that the discussion took place should be applauded:Kanefa ny bilaogy Avestiyca dia manoso-kevitra [ru] fa na dia tsy nisy fiantraikany lehibe tamin'ny valim-pifidianana aza ireny adihevitra navitrika tanaty aterneto ireny, ny fisian'iny adihevitra ihany dia efa tokony hahafaly/hotehafana :
44I would like to admit that it was the first time when I found it actually interesting to observe the buzz on the internet.Te-hiaiky aho fa izay sambany izao no nahatsapako azy ity ho nahaliana, ny fandinihana/fanarahana ny tabataba tety tanaty aterneto.
45[It took place] only on the internet, while in [real] life everything was quiet and peaceful.Tao amin'ny aterineto ihany [ io no nitranga ], raha toa ka amin'ny fiainana [tena izy], nilamina sy nizotra tsara avokoa ny zava-drehetra.
46Whenever I talked to my friends, they all said, “You won't believe it: when I log in a social network, it feels like I am somewhere in France rather than in Tajikistan.Isaky ny miresaka amin'ny namako aho, toy izao avokoa ny valin-tenin'izy ireo “tsy hino an'ity hianareo : fa isaky ny miditra anaty tambajotra sosialy aho dia mahatsapa ny tenako ho toy ny any Frantsa izany fa tsy eto Tadjikistan.
47There is so much passionate discussion, although in real life things remain quiet”…Misy adihevitra tena mamaivay mihitsy, kanefa milamina ihany ny zavatra rehetra aty amin'ny fiainana tena izy”…
48On the other hand, it makes me happy to realize that people are raising their heads and trying to voice their opinions.Amin'ny lafiny iray, mahafaly ahy ihany ny mahita fa mitraka ny olona ary miezaka milaza ny heviny.
49[They do so] awkwardly, stupidly, sometimes in an ugly way, but they are trying.[ Amin'ny fomba ] mikaviavia, adaladala, indraindray amin'ny fomba mahatsiravina, kanefa efa manandrana izy ireo.
50This is a big plus.Izay ihany dia efa zava-dehibe.
51[This is] a sign that people are sick and tired of the situation in which they are seen as not mattering, like when you look around and realize that your name is nothing and you are a nobody.Famantarana [ izany ] fa efa marary sy reraka noho ny teo-draharaha ijerena an-dry zareo ho toy ny tsy misy dikany izy ireo, toy ny hoe mijery ny manodidina ianao ary tonga saina fa tsinontsinona ny anaranao ary tsy olombelona ianao.
52Netizens have described the November 6 polls as an “imitation” of elections.Noresahin'ireo mpisera anaty aterineto ho toy ny “Hala-tahàka” amin'ny fifidianana” ilay fifidianana natao ny 06 Novambra .
53The only genuine opposition candidate that had a slight chance of taking votes from the veteran president Emomali Rahmon pulled out of the contest early after not being able to collect the required number of signatures.Ny kandidà hany tena avy amin'ny mpanohitra izay noheverina fa afaka ny hisolo toerana ny Filoha Emomali Rahmon dia noesorina tsy ho kandidà raha taorian'ny tsy nahafenoany ny isan'ny sonia notakiana taminy.
54After it became clear that the incumbent was facing five virtual unknowns in the polls, social media users reveled in mocking the president and his “challengers”.Taorian'izay dia efa nazava fa kandidà dimy hafa tsy fantatra no hifanandrina amin'ilay tompon-daka raha araky ny fitsapankevitra natao, dia nanararaotra nihomehy ilay Filoha sy ireo “mpifaninana” aminy ny mpampiasa tambajotra sosialy.
55Some netizens contemplated a boycott of the election, although the idea never became very popular.Ny sasany tamin'ireo mpisera anaty aterineto no nisaintsaina fanaovana ankivy ilay fifidianana, na dia tsy dia nalaza firy aza ilay hevitra.
56At the same time, some Tajikistanis used social media to voice support for the incumbent (occasionally plagiarizing Putin's speeches and warning of near-apocalyptic scenarios in case of Rahmon's defeat at the polls).Tao anatin'izany, nisy ireo mponina tao Tadjikistan no nampiasa ny tambajotra sosialy hanehoany ny fanohanany ilay mpifaninana tsy fantatra (indraindray naka tàhaka ny lahatenin'i Poutine ary nampitandrina ny mety hisian'ny endri-javatra manakaiky ny apokaliptika raha toa ka resy min'ny fifidianana i Rahmon).
57The official results gave Rahmon 84% of the vote, extending his two-decade-long hold on power in the country for another seven years.Nanome salan'isa 84 % an'i Rahmon ny valim-pifidianana ofisialy, manitatra ny efa nijanonany teo amin'ny fitondrana ny firenena mandritry ny roampolo taona lavabe hiampy fito taona hafa indray.
