4 | To avoid a no-confidence vote, Guyanese President Donald Ramotar has prorogued the country's parliament for six months (discontinuing the body, without dissolving it). | Mba hisorohana ny latsabato fitsipaham-pitokisana, nohalavain'ny filoha Goyaney Donald Ramotar enim-bolana (ny fitsaharan'ny depiote, tsy misy fanafoanana azy) ny antenimiera ao amin'ny firenena. |
5 | Guyana has a history of particularly radical political instability, leading to concerns that Ramotar's move will undermine the country's democracy. | Malaza amin'ny tsy fahatombenana ara-politika ifotony indrindra i Goyana, izay miteraka ahiahy fa hanohintohina ny demaokrasia ao amin'ny firenena ny fihetsik'i Ramotar. |
6 | More than 800 people have already signed an online petition calling for President Ramotar to reverse his decision. | Maherin'ny 800 ireo olona efa nandray anjara tamin'ny fanangonan-tsonia antserasera miantso ny filoha Ramotar mba hiverina amin'ny fanapaha-keviny. |
7 | Dr. David Hinds, a political activist and social commentator, wrote on Facebook that the government has lost its legitimacy: | Dr. David Hinds, mpikatroka politika sady mpaneho hevitra ara-tsosialy nanoratra tao amin'ny Facebook fa very ny maha-ara-dalàna ny governemanta: |
8 | Now that Parliament has been suspended, the people's representatives have in effect been dismissed by the President. | Amin'izao fotoana nampiatona ny antenimiera izao, noroahin'ny filoha ireo solontenam-bahoaka raha ny tena izy. |
9 | They have no formal forum to represent the interests of their constituencies. | Tsy afaka manao dinidinika ofisialy izy ireo mba hitondra ny tombotsoan'ny faritra misy ireo mpifidy azy ireo. |
10 | They have been put out on the streets-the very streets that for three years they avoided like the plague. | Nalefa eny an-dalambe izy ireo - lalana izay idifian'izy ireo tahaka ny pesta nandritra ny telo taona. |
11 | The President and his cabinet and party are the sole rulers of Guyana. | Ny filoha sy ny kabinetrany ary ny antoko no hany tokana mpitondra an'i Goyana. |
12 | They have crowned themselves the dictators of the country; that is what they have always wanted. | Nanendry tena ho mpanao didy jadon'ny firenena izy ireo; izany no nirian'izy ireo hatramin'izay. |
13 | They have subverted the constitution. | Nanova ny lalàmpanorenana izy ireo. |
14 | They can no longer hold on to the mantle of democracy; it's an illusion. | Tsy afaka hiantoka intsony ny demaokrasia; alonalona izany. |
15 | The Roman Catholic Church, which prominently opposed the Burnham regime‘s racial politics, released a statement: | Namoaka fanambarana ny Fiangonana Katolika Romana, izay nanohitra tanteraka politika radikalin'ny eitondrana Burnham: |
16 | The […] suspension of Parliament on Monday November 10, 2014 puts Guyana into uncharted territory. | Mametraka an'i Goyana ho anatin'ny sisintany tsy fantatra ny […] fampiatoana ny Antenimiera tamin'ny Alatsinainy 10 Novambra 2014. |
17 | There are expectations that the ‘Church' would give a guiding word or pronounce on issues. | Misy ny fanantenana fa hanome teny fitarihana na hanambara momba ireo olana ny “Fiangonana”. |
18 | But the Church is the entire people of faith and not just its leaders. | Saingy ny vahoaka manontolon'ny finoana no Fiangonana fa tsy ireo mpitarika azy ihany. |
19 | When believers from any faith tradition live their faith teachings in everyday life then truly the Church is speaking eloquently. | Raha miaina amin'ny fampianaram-pinoana isan'andro ireo mpino avy amin'ny finoana rehetra dia hiteny amim-pahendrena tokoa ny Fiangonana. |
20 | When […] in daily life we hold our heads high in the face of intimidation and corruption it is then that the Church speaks in volumes. | Raha eo amin'ny […] andavan'androm-piainana, mitsangana manoloana ireo fandrahonana sy kolikoly isika, dia hiteny amim-peo mafy indray ny Fiangonana. |
21 | […] In times of flux and transition we are all called to examine our convictions and bring them to the process of renewal. | […] Amin'ny fotoanan'ny firosoana sy ny tetezamita dia antsoina isika rehetra handinika ny faharesen-dahatra ao amintsika ary hitondra izany amin'ny fihavaozana. |
22 | It is true that in former times the Catholic Church was at the forefront of efforts to promote justice and peace in Guyana […] We have worked on many national issues, from elections to domestic violence to trafficking in persons. | Marina tokoa fa taloha, ny Fiangonana Katolika no loha-laharana amin'ireo ezaka fampiroboroboana ny rariny sy ny filaminana ao Goyana […] Niasa tamin'ireo olana marobe ao amin'ny firenena isika, manomboka amin'ny fifidianana hatramin'ny herisetra an-tokantrano, hatramin'ny fakàna an-keriny ny olona. |
23 | It is true that efforts in this area have not been consistent. | Marina fa tsy mafonja ireo ezaka amin'izany sehatra izany. |
24 | In humility, I suggest that Guyana - like my Church - needs both institutional and relational strengthening. | Am-panetre-tena, manoro hevitra aho fa i Goyana - tahaka ny Fiangonako - dia mila manamafy ny andrim-panjakana sy ny fifandraisana. |
25 | We must find new ways of relating to each other, and better structures to support and encourage those improved relations. | Tsy maintsy mitady fomba vaovao mifandraika amin'ny hafa isika, ary rafitra tsara kokoa hanohanana sy handrisihana ireo fifandraisana nihatsara. |
26 | The Organization of America States also called on Ramotar to reverse his decision: | Niantso an'i Ramotar mba hiala amin'ny fanapaha-keviny ihany koa ny Fikambanan'ny Firenena Amerika: |
27 | The head of the hemispheric Organization said, ‘in a democracy, an efficient functioning of the Parliament allows for checks and balances and for the voice of the people to be heard.' | Nilaza ny mpitarika ny Fikambanan'ny Ila bolantany fa «ao amin'ny demaokrasia, ny fahombiazana mahombin'ny Antenimiera no mamela ny fanamarinana sy fifandanjana hampandrenesana ny feon'ny vahoaka. » |
28 | He recalled that ‘since the last elections in November 2011, Guyana has had a split governance system with the executive controlled by one party and the combined opposition having the majority in Parliament.' […] | Nampahatsiahy izy fa «hatramin'ny fifidianana tamin'ny volana Novambra 2011, nanana rafi-pitantanana nozaraina amin'ny mpanatanteraka fehezin'ny antoko iray sy ny mpanohitra manana maro an'isa ao amin'ny Antenimiera i Goyana. » |
29 | In light of this reality the Secretary General of the OAS urges both the governing and opposition political parties ‘to redouble their efforts to reach an understanding and compromise on the major political and socio-economic issues facing the country.' | […] Ho fanazavana ity zavamisy ity dia mandrisika ny antoko mitondra sy antoko manohitra ny Sekretera Jeneralin'ny OAS mba “hanamafy ny ezaka hahatongavana amin'ny fifankahazoana sy marimaritra iraisana amin'ireo olana ara-politika sy olana ara-tsosialy ary ara-toekarena goavana atrehin'ny firenena. » |
30 | On Twitter, one user compared Ramotar's actions to the suspension of the constitution in then-British Guiana by the colonial authorities: | Tao amin'ny Twitter, nampitaha ny fihetsik'i Ramotar amin'ny fampiatoana lalàmpanorenana tao Goyana Britanika nataon'ny manampahefana mpanjanaka ny mpisera iray: |
31 | “@1DancingCrane: Guyana president suspends parliament http://t.co/DKEkGTlDRt”: Well, we're back to 1953. | Nahanton'ny filohan'i Guyana ny antenimiera. |
32 | Thats when Britain did nearly same. | Eny, miverina amin'ny 1953 isika. |
33 | - Leyland (@KINGLeyland) November 13, 2014 | Raha nanao toy izany ihany koa ny Britanika |
34 | Professor Maya Trotz, meanwhile, wondered why other regional leaders have said nothing about the political impasse: Guyana: A 60-year schism http://t.co/46IUtR1H5C via @TheEconomist good stuff. | Profesora Maya Trotz, nandritra izany fotoana izany, nanontany tena ny antony mahatonga ireo lehiben'ny faritra tsy nilaza na inona na inona eo amin'ny kizo ara-politika: |
35 | No Caribbean leaders speak out yet. | Goyana: 60 taona, zavatra tsara. |
36 | - Maya Trotz (@matrotz) November 14, 2014 | Tsy mbola nisy mpitondra Karaiba naneho ny heviny hatreto. |
37 | Iana Seales seemed to hold out hope that Ramotar might still be persuaded to call new elections: | Toa manana fanantenana i Iana Seales fa mety mbola resy lahatra hikarakara fifidianana vaovao i Ramotar : |
38 | Dear President Ramotar, the opposition is adamant there will be no talks outside of Parliament. | Ry filoha Ramotar hajaina, tsotra ny an'ny mpanohitra: tsy hisy ny fifampiraharahana ivelan'ny Antenimiera. |
39 | Do the right thing & call elections #Guyana | Ataovy ny zavatra tokony atao ary manaova fifidianana |
40 | - Iana Seales (@ianaseales) November 15, 2014 Writer and activist Ruel Johnson posted a picture from a protest outside of the parliament building in Georgetown: | Mpanoratra sady mpikatroka Ruel Johnson nandefa sary nandritra ny fihetsiketsehana teo ivelan'ny tranoben'ny antenimiera tao Georgetown : |

42 | Just weeks ago, in an ongoing case that has excited many in an already polarized society, Guyana's Attorney General was accused of threatening a journalist. | Herinandro lasa izay, tamina raharaha mandeha amin'izao fotoana izao izay nanaitra ny maro tao anatin'ny fiarahamonina efa misara-kevitra tanteraka, voampanga ho nandrahona mpanoratra gazety ny mpampanoa lalàna tao Goyana. |
43 | Recently, a popular radio conglomerate in Guyana circulated a memo asking hosts to avoid the discussion of politics during broadcasts. | Vao haingana, nanaparitaka fampahafantarana mangataka amin'ireo mpanolotra fandaharana ny vondron'orinasa radio malaza ao Goyana mba tsy hiresaka politika mandritra ny fandaharana. |
44 | Opposition parties, meanwhile, say they refuse to negotiate with the President while the parliament is still discontinued. | Ny antokon'ny mpanohitra kosa nilaza fa mandà tsy hifampiraharaha amin'ny filoha raha mbola miantona ny antenimiera. |
45 | The stalemate, in other words, promises to continue for some time. | Raha lazaina amin'ny teny hafa dia mbola tsy ho tafala amin'ny kizo ny raharaha. |
