1 | Egypt: Disappointment at First Presidential Debate This post is part of our special coverage Egypt Elections 2011/12. | Ejipta: Fahadisoam-panantenana tamin'ny adihevitra voalohany nifanaovan'ireo kandidà filoham-pirenena |
2 | On May 10, 2012, people around the region and beyond were pinned to their screens following Egypt's first ever presidential debate, which was between the top two presidential candidates, Amr Moussa and Abdel Moneim Aboul Fotouh. | Tamin'ny 10 may 2012, nifantoka nanoloana ny fahitalavitra ny Ejiptiana nanaraka ny adi-hevitra voalohany nifanaovan'ireo mpilatsaka hofidiana filoham-pirenena anankiroa matanjaka indrindra , Amr Moussa sy Abdel Moneim Aboul Fotouh. |
3 | However, this was not the first presidential debate in the Arab world, as in Mauritania in 2007 a televised presidential debate took place between Sidi Ould Cheikh Abdallahi and Ahmed Ould Daddah. | Na izany aza anefa, tsy io akory no adihevitra voalohany tany amin'ny tany Arabo, fa efa nisy ohatra tany Maoritania tamin'ny 2007 nifanaovan'i Sidi Ould Cheikh Abdallahi syAhmed Ould Daddah. |
4 | The debate was three hours long, moderated by TV anchors Yosri Fouda and Mona El Shazly and aired on Egyptian private channels ONTV and Dream TV - ironically not on Egypt's state TV. | Naharitra adin'ny 3 ny ady hevitra ary notarihan'ireo mpiasan'ny fahitalavitra Yorsi sy Mona El Shazy sady nalefa koa tao amin'ny fahitalavitra tsy miankina ONTV sy Dream TV tany an-toerana - ny mampihomehy dia tsy nandeha tamin'ny fahitalavi-panjakana izy ity. |
5 | Twitters users tweeted about the debate under the hashtag #monazarat. | Nilaza ny heviny mikasika ny ady hevitra ireo mpiserasera twitter ary nampiasa ny #monazarat. |

8 | The start of the debate was delayed due to traffic. | Sary nalefan'i @SultanAlQassemi Tara ny fanombohana vokatry ny fitohanan'ny fifamoivoizana. |
9 | Ben Wedeman, CNN anchor and reporter, tweeted sarcastically: | Ben Wedeman, mpanao gazety ao amin'ny CNN niserasera tamin'ny twitter: |
10 | @bencnn: Aboulfotouh arrival at debate delayed by #cairotraffic? | @bencnn: Tara fahatongavana i Aboulfotouh vokatry ny #fitohan'ny fifamoivoizana? |
11 | No matter who is running, #cairotraffic always wins. | Tsy misy resaka izay rehetra mifaninana aminy eo, #mandresy foana ny fitohanan'ny fifamoivoizana. |
12 | #monazarat #Egypt | #monazarat #Egypt |
13 | Many commented on the long series of commercials which were shown before the debate and during the breaks. | Nomarihan'ny maro koa ny andiana dokambarotra lava dia lava nalefa alohan'ny adihevitra sy nandritra ny fialan-tsasatra kely. |
14 | Robert Mackey reporter and editor of the New York Times tweeted: | Niserasera tamin'ny twitter koa ilay mpanao gazety ao amin'ny New York Times, Robert Mackey: |
15 | @RobertMackey: Don't know if this #monazarat has inspired Egypt to buy into democracy, but the barrage of ads did just motivate me to buy a Twix. | @RobertMackey: Tsy fantatro ny nisintona an'i Ejipta ny #monazarat hividy ao anatin'ny demokrasia, fa ny fandehanan'ny filazana sy dokambarotra no nanintona ahy hividy Twix. |
16 | The candidates were asked questions on various topics such as human rights, health plans, the economy, foreign relations, sharia law, and the role of the military. | Nametrahana fanontaniana maro ireo mpilatsaka ho fidiana toy ny mikasika ny zon'olombelona, ny fahasalamana, ekonomia, ny fifandraisana amin'ny any ivelany, ny lalàna silamo ary ny anjara asan'ny tafika. |
17 | They were even asked about their financial status and health. | Nanontaniana azy ireo na dia ny fananany sy ny toe-pahasalamany aza. |
18 | Both Egyptians and Arabs around the region were tweeting the candidates' replies. | Nalefan'ny Ejipsiana sy ny mponina eo amin'ny faritra manodidina tamin'ny twitter ny valintenin'ireo mpilatsaka hofidiana. |
19 | The first question was regarding their vision for Egypt; their replies were tweeted by Emirati commentator Sultan Al Qassemi, and Egyptian Dalia Ezzat: | Ny fanontaniana voalohany dia mikasika ny nofinofiny amin'ny ho avin'i Ejipta; nalefan'i Sultan Al Qassemi avy any Emirat, sy ilay Ejipsiana Dalia Ezzat ny valiny: |
20 | @SultanAlQassemi: On vision for Egypt - Amr Moussa: A constitutional state that leads the region & serves expectations of its people + Sharia #monazarat | @SultanAlQassemi: Ny ho avin'i Ejipta- Amr Moussa: fanjakana tan-dalàna ary mamaly ny hetahetan'ny mponina ao aminy#monazarat |
21 | @DaliaEzzat_: Abuel Fottouh : bread, freedom, dignity and social justice. | @DaliaEzzat_: Abuel Fottouh : sakafo, fahafahana, fiandrianana ary fahamarinana. |
22 | He's basically repeating the slogans of the revolution #Monazarat | Naverimberiny ny teny nampiasaina ho tarigetran'ny fanoherana tany an-toerana#Monazarat |
23 | Blogger Iyad El-Baghdadi summarized their priorities: | Ilay blaogera Iyad El-Baghdadi mamintina ny maika amin'izy ireo: |
24 | @iyad_elbaghdadi: Abulfutouh vs. Mousa: The first puts democracy, sharia and then security; Mousa puts security, democracy, Islam. | @iyad_elbaghdadi: Abulfutouh vs. Mousa: ny voalohany mametraka ny demokrasia, lalàna silamo ary fandriampahalemana ; ny faharoa mametraka ny fandriampahalemana, demokrasia, ary Islamo. |

26 | Regarding how they would have managed the Abbassiya events, Amr Moussa's reply was tweeted by Sultan Al Qassemi: | Raha ny mikasika ny fomba nitantanan-dry zareo ny hetsika Abbassiya, dia ao amin'ny twitter nampitain'i Sultan Al Qassemi ny valintenin'i Moussa: |
27 | @SultanAlQassemi: On Abbaseya events - Amr Moussa: I didn't wait until I become president, I made calls & demanded police intervene #monazarat | @SultanAlQassemi: Raha ny hetsika Abbassiya - Amr Moussa: Tsy hiandry ny maha filoham-pirenena ahy aho, fa avy hatrany dia miantso ny mpitandro ny filaminana hihetsika#monazarat |
28 | Yet Aboul Fotouh had a more powerful reply, tweeted by Egyptian blogger Bassem Sabry: | Tonga dia namaly tamin-kery kosa i Aboul Fotouh , nalefan'ilay Ejiptiana Bassem Sabry: |
29 | @Bassem_Sabry: Fotouh: If I were president, the Abbasiyya events would not have happened at all, would protect right to protests and sit ins - #Monazarat | @Bassem_Sabry: Fotouh: Raha toa ka izaho no efa filoha mpintantana dia tsy nisy akory izany hetsika izany, tsy maintsy arovana ny zon'ny mpanao fanoherana sy mitokona - #Monazarat |
30 | Regarding Israel, AboulFotouh had a clear and straightforward reply, tweeted by Egyptian professor Rasha Abdullah: | Raha ny momba an'i Israely indray, AboulFotouh nanome valinteny mazava sy mahitsy i Aboul Fotouh, nalefan'ilay mpampianatra Ejiptiana Rasha Abdullah: |
31 | @RashaAbdulla Aboul Fotouh: Israel is an enemy, with 200 nuclear heads and history of occupation and violations #monazarat | @RashaAbdulla Aboul Fotouh: Fahavalo i Israely, miaraka amin'ny fitaovam-piadiana nokleary 200 sy ny tantarany malaza amin'ny fanjanahana sy fanaovana herisetra #monazarat |
32 | Moussa on the other hand had a less confrontational and more diplomatic reply, refusing to answer whether he considered Israel an enemy: | Moussa kosa etsy ankilany, nanome valinteny tsy dia mihantsy ady loatra ary diplaomatika kokoa, nolaviny ny hamaly ny fanontaniana mikasika ny hoe fahavalo i Israely: |
33 | @iyad_elbaghdadi: Mousa: I call for reviewing our treaty with Israel, but insist on a two-state solution. | @iyad_elbaghdadi: Mousa: Miangavy aho ny hijerentsika ny fifanarahana nifanaovantsika tamin'i Isiraely, ary tsindriako manokana ny fitadiavana vahaolana eo amin'ny firenena roa tonta. |
34 | #Monazarat | #Monazarat |
35 | Finally when asked why voters should elect them, their replies were as follows: | Farany, mikasika ny antony hifidianan'ny mpifidy azy ireo, dia toy izao ny valinteniny: |
36 | @SultanAlQassemi: AF: elect me because: I bring people from all backgrounds together. | @SultanAlQassemi: AF: Fidio aho satria havondroko daholo ny mponina amin'ny faritra rehetra. |
37 | Don't elect Moussa because: he didn't stand by the revolution #Monazarat | Aza mifidy an'i Moussa satria tsy nanohana ny fanoherana izy#Monazarat |

39 | #Egypt is in crisis & it needs an experienced statesman. | Ao anatin'ny krizy i Ejipta ary mila olona manana traikefa hitantana azy. |

41 | Both candidates focused on each other's controversial points. | Nifantoka tamin'ny lesoka hitany amin'ny ankilany avy izy roalahy. |

45 | #Monazarat | #Monazarat |
46 | @DaliaEzzat_: The debate in a nutshell : you're Ikhwani! | @DaliaEzzat_: Ny adihevitra amin'ny teny fohy: Tena Ikhwani ianareo! |
47 | [member of the Muslim Brotherhood] Is that right? | [Mpikambana ao amin'ny Mpirahalahy Miozolomana] Sa tsy izany? |
48 | Well you're felool [a remnant of the former regime] and part of the regime that the people revolted against. | Tena felool [olon'ny fitondrana teo aloha] ary mbola mpikambana ao amin'ny fitondrana aloan'ny vahoaka ihany koa. |
49 | #Fail | #Fail |
50 | Amr Moussa's answers were vague and came across as arrogant and hostile while Aboul El Fotouh's answers were more transparent, and he was more calm and collected. | Tsy dia mazava loatra ny valintenin'i Moussa sady ohatry ny mirehareha sy manambony tena izy, fa ny an'i Abolu Fotouh kosa mazava tsara, sady tony tsara izy no azo tsara izay ambarany. |
51 | Jenan Moussa, a reporter for Al Aan TV, tweeted: | Jenana Moussa, mpanao gazety ao amin'ny Al Aan TV, niserasera tao amin'ny twitter: |
52 | @jenanmoussa: Moussa is very dismissive of Abu El Fotouh. | @jenanmoussa: nanambany an'i Abdul El Fotouh i Moussa. |
53 | He feels he is better or sth. | Heveriny fa ambony sy tena zavatra izy. |
54 | I dont like the attitude. | Tsy tiako ny toetrany #Monazarat |
55 | #Monazarat Twitter user The Ess summarized their performance: | Ilay mpiserasera amin'ny twitter The Ess mamintina ny zava-bitan'izy roalahy: |
56 | @Nadesque: #Moussa : weak answers, strong attacks. | @Nadesque: #Moussa : valinteny tsy dia manao ahoana, fihantsiana mahery vaika. |
57 | #AbulFutouh : good answers, weak attacks. | #AbulFutouh : valinteny tsara, fihantsiana malemy. |
58 | #Monazarat | #Monazarat |
59 | Many voters had hoped that this debate would help them learn more about their candidates and their plans and vision. | Mpifidy maro no manantena fa ampy hahalalan'izy ireo bebe kokoa momba ireo mpifaninana hofidiana sy ny tetikasany amin'ny ho avy iny adihevitra iny. |
60 | Menatallah Essam tweeted her disappointment, and that of many, of how the debate turned out: | Menatallah Essam nandefa tao amin'ny twitter ny fahadisoam-panantenany, sy ny an'ireo olona marobe, ny amin'ny vokatry ny adihevitra: |
61 | @mentos_391: what i really hoped is that each one says his positive plans for the future not mentioning each one's negative points. | @mentos_391: ny zavatra tena niriako dia ny hilazan'ny mpifaninana tsirairay ny tetikasany hampandroso amin'ny ho avy fa tsy ny hitsikera ny fahalemen'ny anankiray. |
62 | #monazarat | #monazarat |
63 | Some voters changed their opinion regarding the candidate they might have voted for before viewing the debate, and some even considered other candidates. | Niova hevitra kosa ireo mpifidy hafa amin'izay mpifaninana hofidiany rehefa vita ny adihevitra, ary ny sasany aza mihevitra ny hifidy mpifaninana hafa mihitsy. |
