1Lebanon: Bloggers Snub Hariri RallyLibanona: Tsy niresaka momba ny famoriam-bahoakan-dry Hariri ny Bilaogera
2Inspired by uprisings across the Arab world, former Prime Minister Saad al-Hariri held a rally in Beirut on Sunday calling for the disarming of the powerful Shi'ite Hezballah movement.Rehefa nahazo aingam-panahy avy tamin'ny fihetsiketsehana manerana n tontolo Arabo dia nanao famoriam-bahoaka tao Beirota ny praiminisitra teo aloha Saad al-Hariri tamin'ny Alahady teo mba hiantso amin'ny fanesorana fitaovam-piadina ny Hetsika tsitohaina Shi'ita Hezbollah.
3Hezballah - Lebanon's largest political party and only faction to have retained its weapons - ousted Hariri and his pro-Western March 14 coalition from government in January following the defection of Druze leader Walid Jumblatt to the Hezballah camp.Ny Hezbollah no antoko politika lehibe indrindra sady vondrona tokana mbola mitazona ny fitaovam-piadiany - no nanala an'i Hariri sy ny ankolafiny 14 Marsa avy amin'ny governemanta, tamin'ny Janoary, sady mirona amin'ny tandrefana taorian'ny fisintahan'ny mpitarika Druze (Atoa) Walid Jumblatt ho ao amin'ny tobin'ny Hezbollah.
4Despite attracting thousands of supporters to the rally, Hariri failed to make an impact online as the Lebanese blogosphere largely snubbed his demonstration.Na dia teo aza ny fahazoana mpanohana aman'arivony hamonjy ny famoriam-bahoaka dia tsy nisy fiantraikany tamin'ny tontolom-bolongana Libaney, izay tsy niteny na inona na inona momba ity fihetsiketsehana ity amin'ny ankapobeny izay nataon-dry Hariri.
5Scattered coverage of the Hariri rally can be found amongst Lebanese blogs, which is a significant contrast from the major role social media has played in the Arab uprisings in Egypt, Tunisia, Libya and Bahrain.Azo jerena any amin'ny bolongana Libaney vitsivitsy ny tatitra madinidinika momba ny famoriam-bahoakan-dry Hariri, izay mifanipaka tanteraka amin'ny anjara toeran'ny valan-tserasera (media sosialy) tany amin'ny tany Arabo nisiana fihetseham-bahoaka tany Ejipta, Tonizia, Libya ary Bahrain.
6In a time of increasing debate on the role of social media in popular unrest, one must wonder whether a revolution is possible without the assistance of social media.Ao anatin'ny firoboroboan'ny adihevitra momba ny andraikitry ny valan-tserasera amin'ny fitroaram-bahoaka, misy ny manontany raha mety tontosa ny revolisiona tsy misy ny fanampian'ny valan-tserasera.
7Such an argument appears to have merit in Lebanon at least.Mendrika ny horesahina indrindra ny fandresen-dahatra avy amin'izany ho an'i Libanona farafaharatsiny.
8Indeed, Lebanon's circumstances are unique in the Arab world, where the majority of the region continues to live under the iron fist of an autocratic ruler.Eny tokoa, miavaka ny toe-javatra mitranga ao Libanona ao amin'ny tontolo Arabo, izay miaina ao ambanin'ny fitondran'olo-tokana tsy refesi-mandidy ny ankamaroan'ny faritra.
9Lebanon, conversely, is a quasi-democracy constrained by the sectarian nature of its political system that pits the country's confessions against each other in a struggle for power.Ao Libanona kosa mifanohitra an'izany, fa efa saika manjaka ny demokrasia voafetran'ny endrika ara-pivavahana ny rafitra ara-politikany izay mahatonga ny antokom-pivavahana ho mifandrafy mba hahazoana ny fahefana.
10The Lebanese blogosphere has, however, largely moved beyond the sectarianism that defines Lebanon's politics, and thus offer an alternative voice on Lebanese affairs and life that is not subject to a factional allegiance.Efa tafahoatra lavitra izany fifandrafiana rafetin'ny rafitra politika izany kosa ny tontolom-bolongana Libaney, ka mametraka azy ho mahasolo feo ny raharaha Libaney tsy hiankina amina fironana iray.
11That the blogosphere has snubbed the Hariri rally is an important indication of the failure of Hariri to woo neutral Lebanese to his cause.Toromarika manandanja ho an-dry Hariri hisintona ny Libaney tsy naka fironana hiara-dia aminy noho izany ny tsy nilazan'ny tontolom-bolongana ny fihetsiketsehana nataony.
12Nevertheless, one prominent Lebanese blogger - Beirut Spring - offered his views on the Sunday protest:Na dia izany aza, nilaza ny heviny momba ity fihetsiketseham-panoherana ity ny mpamaham-bolongana Libaney malaza iray - Beirut Spring - :
13Right before Mr. Hariri spoke, a large poster of King Abduallah of Saudi Arabia was erected on one of the walls of Virgin and became a backdrop for Mr. Hariri's speech.Nialoha indrindra ny hikabarian'Atoa Hariri dia nisy sary vaventin'ny Mpanjaka Abdallah avy any Arabia Saodita napetaka tamin'ny rindrin'ny Virijiny ary lasa haingo an-damosin'ny kabarin'Atoa Hariri.
14I was very dismayed when I saw it, as it contradicts much of what March 14 stands for.Nitolagaga tanteraka aho raha nahita izany satria mifanohitra amin'izay ijoroan'ny 14 Marsa izany.
15To mention only two things: The rejection of foreign intervention in Lebanon and the embracing of liberal values like freedom, democracy and multiculturalism (all of which are absent in Saudi Arabia).Zavatra roa monja no homarihako: Ny fandavana ny fitsofohan'ny vahiny ao Libanona sy ny fiakanjoana ny sanda liberaly tahaka ny fahafahana, demokrasia ary ny fahamaroan'ny antoko (ary tsy misy any Arabia Saodita avokoa ireo rehetra ireo).
16It's telling that the king's poster was erected right before Mr. Hariri's speech.Lazaina fa novelarina ny sary vaventin'ny mpanjaka mialoha ny kabarin'Atoa Hariri.
17This means that those handling the logistics know that such a backdrop would have been political suicide for Christian speakers like Mr. Samir Geagea and Amin el Gemayel.Izany dia midika fa mahalala ny misahana ny fitantanana ny fitaovana fa famonoantena politika ho an'ny mpikabary kristiana tahaka an'Atoa Samir Geagea sy Amin el Gemayel ny fisiana haingo an-damosina sahala amin'itony.
18But why even erect that poster in the first place?Fa nahoana no itony sary vaventy itony no novelarina voalohany?
19The best answer I could think of is this: This is a loud message to Mr. Najib Mikati and to the rest of the world that whatever Mr. Hariri is about to say is approved by the Saudi King.Ny valinteny tsara indrindra dia izao: Hafatra mivandravandra ho an'Atoa Najib Mikati sy ny hafa rehetra io fa izay rehetra lazain'Atoa Hariri eo dia ankatoavin'ny Mpanjaka Saodiana.
20In other words, Mr. Mikati has received “official” Sunni ostracism.Amin'ny teny hafa, nahazo amin'ny fomba “ofisialy” fanilihana (fanaon'ny) sonita Atoa Mikati.
21A mocking video of Hariri removing his jacket was circulated on YouTube:Mandeha any amin'ny YouTube moa ny lahatsary fanesoana an'i Hariri manala ny palitaony:
22A supporter, Elie Fares, gave his reasons for attending the rally on his blog A Separate State of Mind:Mpanohana iray, Elie Fares, no nanome ny antony nanatrehany ity famoriam-bahoaka ity ao amin'ny bolongany A Separate State of Mind:

36Although Hariri may own a large number of Lebanese mainstream media outlets, he appears to have little sway over a major independent voice in the country: social media.Na dia mety ho nahazo ny maro anisan'ny gazety Libanezy aza i Hariri, dia kely ihany ny heriny amin'ny ankamaroan'ny feo tsy miankina eto amin'ny firenena: valan-tserasera.
