1Libya: The African Mercenary Question (Videos)Libya: Ny mpikarama an'ady Afrikana (Lahatsary)
2This post is part of our special coverage Libya Uprising 2011.
3One of the more distressing sub-plots in the ongoing two-week uprising against Colonel Muammar Al Gaddafi in Libya has been reports of the Libyan leader's alleged use of “African mercenaries” to prop up his falling regime.Iray amin'ny zava-manahirana indrindra ny miresaka azy nandritra ny roa herinandro nanoherana ny Kolonely Muammar Al Gaddafi any Libya izay dia ny fitateram-baovao fisiana lazain'ny mpitondra Libyana “Mpikarama an'ady Afrikana” ampiasaina hampijoro ny fitondrany efa mihozongozona.
4Global Voices has covered stories of mercenaries from Serbia bombing civilians from airplanes.Efa nitantara ny fisiana mpikarama an'ady avy any Serbia midaroka baomba sivily hatreny amin'ny voromby ny Global Voices.
5But the majority of speculation regarding mercenaries portrays them as “foreign” or “African” - meaning from Sub-Sahara Africa and “Black”.Fa ny ankamaroan'ny tsahotsaho miresaka ny momba ity mpikarama an'ady ity dia mandoko azy ireo ho “vahiny” na “Afrikana” - midika hoe avy any Afrika atsimon'i Sahara sady “Mainty”.
6This storyline is echoed everywhere in international media, in Arabic media, and in online citizen media and videos.Manako na aiza na aiza any amin'ny haino aman-jery iraisam-pirenena, any amin'ny haino aman-jery arabo, ary any amin'ny fitaovan-tseraseran'olo-tsotra sy amin'ny lahatsary moa ity tantara ity.
7Why put a Black face on the mercenary story when people in Libya are both light and dark skinned?Maninona no mametraka endrika mainty amin'ity tantarana mpikarama an'ady ity nefa fantatra fa ny mponina any Libya dia sady misy mazava no misy matroka ny volo-kodiny?
8In an open letter to Al Jazeera posted on the blog Sky, Soil & Everything In Between, KonWomyn worries that the broadcaster's shorthand description simply has become “mercenaries from Africa”, instead of looking deeper into who these people actually are, and that this description is being copied in media around the world.Ao amin'ny taratasy misokatra ho an'ny Al Jazeera navoakany tao amin'ny bolongana Sky, Soil & Everything In Between, i KonWomyn no manahy ny fomba fanatsoran'ny mpitantara ny fanazavazavana ho “mpikarama am'ady avy any Afrika”, tsy mikaroka lalina kokoa hoe iza tokoa moa ireo olona ireo, ary iny fomba fanazavazavana iny no arahin'ny haino aman-jery manerantany.
9Fear is another reason these claims are widely perpetuated.Ny antony hafa mahatonga ity resaka ity miparitaka fatratra ihany koa dia noho ny tahotra.
10In a comment on a blog post on Arabist.net about mercenaries in Libya, “Benedict” writes:Ao amin'ny fanehoan-kevitra amin'izay voasoratra ao amin'ny bolongana Arabist.net no anoratan'i “Benedict” momba ity mpikarama an'ady vahiny ity:
11… in a climate of fear and scarce information, rumours that violence is being carried out by shadowy outsiders often spread widely (e.g. the rumours of ‘Arabs' beating protesters in Iran in 2009).Ao anatin'ny tontolo anjakan'ny tahotra sy ny tsy fahazoam-baovao loatra no miely ny tsaho fisiana olo-tsy fantatra loatra (ohatra ny tsaho momba ny ‘Arabo' midaroka ny mpanao fihetsiketsehana tany Iran tamin'ny 2009).
12Secondly, there are plenty of African migrants in Libya who may be seized as scapegoats by angry crowds, and there are also black Libyans, some of who may be members of the security forces.Faharoa, betsaka ny mpifindra monina Afrikana any Libya izay mety hataon'ny vahoaka tezitra [sorona] olona faniliham-pahadisoana, nefa misy koa ny Libyana mainty, ary ny sasany amin'ireny dia mety ho mpitandro ny filaminana.
13Nonetheless, captured mercenaries in Libya have so far included people with identification papers from Tunisia, Nigeria and Guinea (Conakry) and Chad.Na izany aza, ireo mpikarama an'ady any Libya tratra rehefa alaina ny taratasy momba azy dia hita fa avy any Tonizia, Nigeria ary Ginea (Conakry) sy Tchad.
14In Ghana there are rumours that people in Accra had been offered as much as US$ 2,500 to fight for Gaddafi.Tany Ghana moa dia nisy ny tsaho fa hotolorana hatramin'ny 2500 dolara amerikana izay olona ao Accra vonona hiady ho an'i Gaddafi.
15And in Ethiopia local people have reportedly also been hired to fight.Ny any Ethiopia ihany koa dia nisy ny tatitra fa nisy nindramina hiady ny olona avy ao.
16Here is a video of an alleged mercenary captured by locals in AL Barqa, Libya.Indro misy lahatsari-na lazaina ho mpikarama an'ady nosamborin'ny mponina tao AL Barqa, Libya.
17Map of Libya and the Mediterranean SeaSaritanin i Libya sy ny ranomasina Mediterranee
18Destination LibyaMizotra ho any Libya
19For many in Sub-Saharan Africa, Libya has long been an employment magnet and also acted as a port of call for those wanting to migrate to Europe via the Mediterranean Sea.Ho an'ny maro any Afrika atsimon'i Sahara, efa hatry ny ela i Libya no nanintona eo amin'ny sehatry ny asa ary nitoetra ihany koa ho fitodian'ny fiantsoana ho an'ireo izay mitady ny hifindra monina ho any Eoropa manavatsavana ny ranomasina Mediterranee.
20An estimated 1.5 million people from south of the Sahara live in Libya, working mainly in the oil and construction industry.Hevitreverina ho 1,5 tapitrisa ny olona avy any atsimon'i Sahara no monina any Libya, miasa amin'ny sehatry ny solika sy ny orinasam-panorenana ny ankamaroany.
21Gaddafi is also financially and politically involved with governments south of the Sahara.Miasa miaraka ara-politika sy manampy ara-bola ny governemanta atsimon'i Sahara rahateo i Gaddafi.
22The Libyan military has trained several rebel groups in the past, and has also recruited mercenaries on previous occasions.Efa nanofana vondrona mpioko maro rahateo ny miaramila Libyana taloha, ary efa nanakarama mpikarama an'ady rehefa nisy nilana izany taloha.
23In the early years of his rule, Gaddafi, who was affectionately known as “the Guide,” attempted to unify and Arabize the swath of land just south of the Sahara desert by pressing young migrants everywhere from the Sahel to Pakistan to fight as a single unit in wars in Chad, Uganda, Palestine, Lebanon and Syria.Nandritra ny fotoana voalohany nanjakany ihany koa i Gaddafi izay fantatra sy notonony am-pitiavana ho ny “ Guide” no niezaka nanambatra sy nanao izay haha-Arabo ny ampaha-tany atsimo indrindra ny tanihain'i Sahara tamin'ny alalan'ny fanerena ny tanora mpifindra monina hatrany Sahel ka hatrany Pakistan hiady ho toy ny andia-tafika tokana tany amin'ny ady nitranga tany Tchad, Uganda, Palestina, Libanona ary Syria.
24Attacks on migrantsFanafihana mpifindra monina
25The immediate problem is that people in Libya from Sub-Saharan Africa have been attacked simply because people assume they are mercenaries.Ny olana hita avy hatrany dia tafihin'ny olona any Libya izay hita fa avy any Afrika atsimon'i Sahara satria raofiny ho mpikarama an'ady.
26On the Ethiopian Review blog, several people commented on a post about Ethiopian mercenaries with fears that innocent refugees would become targets of mobs.Ao amin'ny bolongana mpanao tamberina Ethiopiana , maro ny mamosa-kevitra ao amin'ny lahatsoratra iray miresaka mpikarama an'ady Ethiopiana ahitana ahiahy fandrao asaritaky ny mpanao fihetsiketsehana ny mpifindra monina tsy manantsiny.
27One commenter, “Ganamo” wrote:Hoy ny nosoratan'ny mpamosa-kevitra iray “Ganamo” :
28Some of those could be innocent refugees.Mety ho mpifindra monina tsy manantsiny ny sasany amin'ireo.
29During uprising in a mob mentality people most often do not differentiate well between criminals and innocent foreigners.Mandritra ny fitroarana moa tsy ao an-tsain'ny olona loatra matetika ny manavaka ny vahiny mahavita heloka sy ny vahiny tsy manantsiny.
30I have to say this because I believe it from learning it through an experience.Tsy maintsy milaza iany aho satria nianarako avy tamin'ny zavatra efa niainana.
31While revolution must go on we must be carefully to stand for refugees.Tokony hitandrina mafy isika rehefa mandeha ny revolisiona hiaro ny mpifindra monina.
32Specially Ethiopians in Diaspora since their government cares only for their money and abandons them on their times of need, while other countries are evacuating their citizens.Indrindra moa ny Ethiopiana am-pielezana noho ny mpitondra ao tsy miraharaha afa-tsy ny volany ihany ary mandao ireo mpifindra monina ireo ao anatin'ny fotoan-tsarotra, raha manavotra ny olom-pireneny kosa ny firenen-kafa.
33Where will Ethiopian Refugees in Libya go?Aiza no handehanan'ny mpifindra monina Ethiopiana eto Libya?
34Some bloggers and activists from Sub-Saharan Africa see the mercenary issue as opening a window into the chauvinistic attitudes of those from North Africa.Hitan'ny mpamaham-bolongana sy ny mpazoto an-tserasera sasany avy any Afrika atsimon'i Sahara ho varavarana misokatra ho amin'ny fitiavan-tanindrazana [diso toerana?] avy amin'ireo avy any Afrika Avaratra ity resaka mpikarama an'ady ity.
35In the pan-African Myweku blog, N Thompson writes:Ao amin'ny bolongana pan-Afrikana i N Thompson no manoratra:
36Africans in the main have been sympathetic and supportive of the desires of Tunisians and Egyptians in their protests.Nanohana sy niray fo tamin'ny fanirian'ny Ejipsiana sy ny Toniziana nandritra ny fihetsiketsehana ny Afrikana tamin'ny ankapobeny.
37However, the African media and forums are beginning to ask if the prominence and publicity given to so called African mercenaries running amok amongst Libyan protesters pillaging and raping is beginning to tell a rather interesting story about the motives of some Libyan protesters.Na izany aza dia manomboka manontany tena ny haino aman-jery Afrikana sy ny any amin'ny fanaovana dinika an-tserasera any amin'ity fanasongadinana izay lazaina ho mpikarama an'ady Afrikana mandroba sy manao an-keriny ny mpanao fihetsiketsehana ity ka manomboka mahaliana izay tena ao an-dohan'ny mpanao fihetsiketsehana Libyana sasantsasany.
38On Sudan.net a question posted by a member of the forum - Is Libya racist? - has generated many emotional responses.Ao amin'ny Sudan.net dia niteraka valinteny nampihetsi-po ny fanontaniana natrangan'ny mpikambana iray manao hoe - Mpanavakavana ve i Libya?
39Surely, isn't the first rule of any revolution to garner as much international support from all quarters as possible?Moa ve tsy lalàna voalohan'ny revolisiona ny maka fanohanana iraisam-pirenena araka izay tratra?
40That thought is echoed by Tommy Miles in New York, writing in the West-Africa focused, Tomathan blog:Nataon'i Tommy Miles any New York nanako izany eritreritra izany, tamin'ny nanoratany resaka niompana amin'i Afrika Andrefana, Tomathan blog:
41In all honesty, I support the people of Libya's righteous anger against the brutal Gaddafi regime.Amin'ny fahatsoratra rehetra no ilazako fa manohana ny zon'ny vahoaka ho tezitra amin'ny fitondran'i Gaddafi aho.
42It will not be going out on a limb at this point to say they will succeed, and that the entire region (including Tchad, Mali, & Niger) will be better off without Gaddafi's almost constant destabilization of his African neighbors.Tsy dia sarotra loatra ny haminavina amin'izany fa hahomby ry zareo, ary ho mari-toerana kokoa iny faritra iray manontolo (ahitana an'i Tchad, Mali ary Niger) iny tsy misy an'i Gaddafi izay manakorontana matetika ny Afrikana mpifanolo-bodi-rindrina aminy.
43But like much of northern Africa, in Libya there is a long history of fear, hatred, and oppression based on skin color.Saingy mihoatra noho ny any Afrika Avaratra dia efa voarakitry ny tantara hatry ny ela ny tahotra, fankahalana ary ny fanaovana tsindrio fa lavo miankina amin'ny volon-koditra.
44There is a distinct minority of “black” Libyans whose slave origins mean they are still regarded with contempt by some, as there is a large number of political and economic refugees in what is a relatively prosperous state.Miavaka tsara, any, ny “mainty” vitsy an'isa izay taranaka andevo izany hoe ambanimbanian'ny sasany hatrany izy ireny, raha misy ny mpialokaloka noho ny antony ara-politika sy ara-toekarena ao amin'ity firenena azo lazaina fa manankarena ity ihany.
45One commenter on this post, going by the name “Arab”, disagrees:Hoy ny mpamosa-kevitra iray amin'ity lahatsoratra ity, mitondra ny anarana hoe “Arabo”, tsy mitovy hevitra amin'izay voasoratra:
46A purely manufactured controversy.Fampiadian-kevitra noforonina fotsiny.
47Libyans have also reported that there are European mercenaries and you conveniently forget that because it doesn't suit your racism agenda.Nitatitra ihany koa ny Libyana fa misy mpikarama an'ady Eoropeana ary toa mifanaraka ny hanadino izany ianareo satria tsy mifanaraka amin'ny fanavakavahana tianareo avoitra.
48The point of making it known that they are African is identification, it has nothing to do with skin color (a classic case of projection of Western biases), but with identifying a threat (based on language, since “African” denotes a non-Arabic speaking person from the continent rather than a black person as you seem to think).Ny teboka hahalalana azy ireo fa Afrikana izy ireo dia amin'ny alalan'ny famantarana, tsy misy idiran'ny volon-koditra mihitsy ( avy amin'ny fomba fijery mitongilana Tandrefana) fa amin'ny alalan'ny loza mitatao (miankina amin'ny fiteny, “Afrikana” rehefa voamarika fa tsy miteny arabo ilay olona avy eto amin'ny kaontinanta fa tsy ilay olona mainty izay eritreretinao).
49Libyans are more than aware that there are Libyans killing them, after all fighter jets are not being flown by mercenaries nor is the elite army corps that is headed by Gaddafi's son a foreign one.Ny Libyana no mahafantatra kokoa fa misy Libyana mamono azy, rehefa fantatra fa tsy ny mpikarama an'ady no manamory ny voromby mpiady, ary tsy vahiny ihany koa ny vondro-tafika tarihan'ny zanak'i Gaddafi io.
50You would have served yourself better if at this time of great distress for the Libyan people, you remained silent until all the events are known, rather than push an agenda to insult people fighting and dying for their liberty based on nothing but speculation.Manampy ny tenanao kosa ianao amin'izao fotoan-tsarotra andalovan'ny vahoaka Libyana izao, ny mangina mandrapahafantatrao ny tranga rehetra, fa tsy manery ny fandaharam-potoana hanompa ny vahoaka miady sy maty ho amin'ny fahafahany izay miorina amin'ny eritreritra mandalo fotsiny ihany.
51People in Libya have also shown compassion to some captured mercenaries.Mamindra fo amin'ny mpikarama an'ady sasany voasambotra ihany koa ny vahoaka any Libya.
52This video shows more than one man protecting an alleged fighter from an angry crowd (Warning: These are disturbing images).Ity lahatsary manaraka dia mampiseho olona mihoatra ny iray miaro ny lazaina ho mpiady amin'ny hatezeram-bahoaka (Fampitandremana: sary mety hanohina).
53One young mercenary from Chad, claimed in an interview with UK newspaper The Telegraph, that he had met men who said they would fly him to Tripoli in Libya for work.Mpikarama an'ady tanora iray avy any Tchad no milaza ao anaty resadresaka nifanaovana tamina gazety anglisy The Telegraph fa nisy olona nihaona taminy nilaza fa tian'izy ireo halefany hiasa any Libya izy.
54Instead, the plane was diverted to Al-Bayda, where he and his fellow travelers were handed weapons and told to kill protesters.Nefa naodina ho any Al-Bayda ny voromby, tao izy sy ny niara-dia taminy no nomena fitaovam-piadiana ary nobaikoana hamono ny mpanao fihetsiketsehana.
55The Ridja blog from the island nation Comoros in Africa, takes up that theme [Fr]:Ny bolongan'i Ridja avy amin'ny nosy Komoro eto Afrika no nandray ity , nandray ity lohahevitra ity [Fr]:
56In a video posted on YouTube, a black man, described as a mercenary, acknowledges having been recruited by Khamis, a son of the Guide, to massacre the people.Tanaty lahatsary nivoaka tao amin'ny YouTube, lehilahy mainty iray, nambara ho mpikaram an'ady, nanaiky ka nalain'i Khamis, zanaka lahin'ny Guide, handripaka ny olona.
57True confession or a desperate attempt to save the poor devil from a mob threatening to lynch him?Tena fiaken-keloka ve sa fitadiavan'ilay olona hamonjy ny tenany tsy hosaritahan'ny olona?
58Other films on the Internet show the bodies of alleged soldiers of fortune who died in battle.Sarimihetsika hafa hita amin'ny aterineto mampiseho ny sisan'ny lazaina ho zary lasa miaramila maty an'ady.
59The sites of exiled Libyans also speak of these foreign soldiers, referring to the wildest rumors, such as salaries of $30,000 US.Ny vohikalan'ny Libyana an-tsesintany ihany koa dia milaza ireo miaramila vahiny, mampahatsihy ny tsaho miely indrindra, fa mikarama $30.000 Amerikana.
60Vincent Harris in the blog Colored Opinions, a blog exploring African migration politics, says European leaders share some of the blame:Vincent Harris ao amin'ny bolongana Colored Opinions, bolongana misahana ny politikam-pifindra-monina Afrikana, mitantara fa manana ny fahadisoany ihany koa ny mpitondra Eoropeana:
61Europe has a heavy responsibility for the well-being of refugees in Libya.Manana andraikitra mavesatra amin'ny fikarakarana ny mpialokaloka any Libya i Eoropa.
62The reason I say this is obvious, European governments, like the Netherlands, helped Libya to create a buffer against subsaharan African immigrants to Europe.Mivandravandra ny antony lazaiko, nanao izay hananganana an'i Libya ho faritra fanakanna ny mpifindra monina Afrikana tsy ho tonga any Eoropa ny fitondrana eoropeana, tahaka an'i holandy.
63Who does not remember Gaddafi's recent visit to Italy?Iza no tsy mahatsiaro ny fitsidihana nataon'i Gaddafi tany Italia?
64It seemed funny to see [Berlusconi] one of the most xenophobic presidents receive Gaddafi, but in reality the visit of Libyan president Gaddafi was in line with European policy to use Libya as buffer to counter immigration.Mampihomehy ihany no mahita [an'i Berlusconi] iray amin'ireo filoha mpanavakavaka indrindra mandray an'i Gaddafi, sainy ny tena marina ny fitsidihan'ny filoha Libyana Gaddafi dia ao anatin'ny politika eoropeana indrindra ny fampiasana an'i Libya ho faritra fanalefahana hanoherana ny fifindra-monina.
65Of great concern to many, is that the mercenary problem may have only just begun.Iray amin'ny ahiahian'ny maro indrindra, dia ny olana momba ny mpikarama an'ady ity mbola vao eo amin'ny sehatra fanombohana fotsiny.
66From the Arabist blog:Avy amin'ny bolongana the Arabist :
67… if the regime suddenly collapses, how will the successors of the regime deal with several thousand heavily armed and unpaid mercenaries in Libya's major cities?Raha mirodana tampoka ny fitondrana, ahoana indray ny hataon'ny mpandimby eo amin'ny fitondrana amin'ireto mpikarama an'ady an'arivony ary fitaovam-piadiana sady tsy voaloa ny karamany mameno ny tanàn-dehiben'i Libya ireto?
