4 | Cameroon's national football team, the Indomitable Lions, have finally arrived in Brazil some 24 hours later than scheduled after a last-minute bonus row, which threatened to scuttle the team's participation in this year's World Cup, was resolved. | Tonga tao Brezila, tara 24 ora tsy araka ny ora voatondro mialoha ihany ny ekipam-pirenena Kameroney ny baolina kitra, Lions Indomptables (Liona tsy voafolaka) rehefa avy nahazo tambin-karama tamin'ny minitra farany, fa nandrahona ny mety ho tsy handraisan'ny ekipa anjara amin'ny Fiadiana ho Tompondaka Manerantany.. |
5 | On Sunday June 8, the Indomitable Lions refused to leave their hotel unless they were paid their share of the World Cup prize money that FIFA gives to each participating country. | Tamin'ny Alahady 8 Jiona, nandà tsy hiala tao amin'ny hotely misy azy ireo ny ekipa “Lions Indomptables” raha tsy naloa tamin'izy ireo ny Anjara tambin-karama amin'ny Fiadiana ho Tompondaka Manerantany izay nomen'ny FIFA hoan'ny mpandray anjara tsirairay ao amin'ny firenena. |
6 | FECAFOOT, Cameroon's football federation, eventually yielded [fr] to the players' demands, giving each player 5,800,000 CFA francs (about 12,000 US dollars) in addition to the 50 million CFA francs (104,000 US dollars) already promised by the Cameroon government. | Nilavo-lefona [fr] ihany ny FECAFOOT, federasionan'ny baolina kitra Kameroney tamin'ireo fitakian'ny mpilalao, ka nanolotra vola 5,8 tapitrisa CFA (eo amin'ny 12.000 dolara) isaky ny mpilaolao iray, miampy ny 50 tapitrisa CFA (104 000 dolara) efa nampanantenain'ny governemantan'i Kamerona. |
7 | The dispute over bonuses is an old one that has bedeviled Cameroon's participation in practically every international tournament since the 1980s. | Zavatra efa fahita hatrany amin'ny fandraisan'anjaran'i Kamerona isaky ny fifaninanana iraisam-pirenena ny disadisan-tambinkarama hatramin'ny taona 1980 . |
8 | As Patrick Suffo, a former Cameroon international who was part of the 2002 World Cup campaign that was also marred by disagreements over bonuses, tweeted: | Patrick Suffo, ekipa iraisam-pirenena Kameroney teo aloha, nandray anjara tamin'ny fiadiana ny Tompondaka Manerantany 2012, izay efa nifanditra tambi-karama ihany koa, nisioka hoe: |
9 | Different Era and same old problems for the #cameroon Team . | Vanim-potoana samihafa ary olana mitovy ihany ny an'ny Ekipa Kameroney. |
10 | No Bonus No travel to #Brazil2014 . | Raha tsy misy tambin-karama, tsy misy dia mankany Brezila |
11 | #Team237 #LionsIndomptables - patrick suffo (@patsuffo) June 8, 2014 | Niteraka adihevitra mafana sy fizarazarana tao anatiny sy ivelan'i Kamerona ny toetran'ireo mpilalao. |
12 | The player revolt generated very passionate and divisive debates in and outside of Cameroon. | Maro ireo nilaza fa tia tena sy tsy tia tanindrazana ireo mpilalao. |
13 | Many argued that the players were selfish and unpatriotic. Self-described football fan Bouba Kaélé was unequivocal on that point: | Mazava tsara ny voalazan'ity milaza tena fa mpankafy baolina kitra iray antsoina hoe Bouba Kaélé ity mikasika izany olana izany: |
14 | Let's agree that this is the fault of the government which tolerates blackmail by the players associated with permanent hostage taking | Andao hifanekena fa fahadisoan'ny governemanta ity tantara ity izay mandefitra amin'ny fandrahonana ataon'ireo mpilalao tsy mitsahatra ny manao kendaroroka |
15 | Another user, Peter Khoo, shared a similar view: | Mpisera hafa, Peter Khoo, nizara hevitra mitovy amin'izany ihany koa: |
16 | The Cameroon players should be ashamed, getting paid £61,000 to play for your country at the World Cup isn't enough for you? - Peter Khoo (@PeterKhoo_) June 8, 2014 | Tokony ho menatra ireo Kameroney mpilalao, tsy ampy anao ve ny handoavana vola £ 61 000 anao mba hilalao hoan'ny firenenao amin'ny fiadiana Tompondaka Manerantany? |
17 | An article, which appeared in the online journal NdjanguiPress, accused [fr] the players of “high treason”, insisting that: | Lahatsoratra nivoaka tamin'ny gazety antserasera NdjanguiPress, niampanga [fr] ireo mpilalao ho “mpamadika bevava”, ary nikiry nilaza fa: |
18 | A player who goes to the World Cup is a soldier on the front lines. | Miaramila loha-laharana ny mpilalao handeha handray amin'ny Fiadiana Tompondaka Manerantany. |
19 | If he knows that he doesn't have ammunition or that he's been poorly fed, then he should withdraw before heading to the battle. | Raha mahafantatra izy fa tsy manana basy hoentina miady, na tsy ampy sakafo, dia tokony hiala na hilaza-tena fa tsy afaka mandray anjara alohan'ny hiaingana. |
20 | A player who does not give his best against the backdrop of [unreasonable] demands deserves to be punished! | Famadihana bevava ary mendrika hosaziana ny tsy fahazotoana hilalao noho ny fanaovana fitakiana! |
21 | Equally passionate were those who felt that the players' demands and actions were justified. | Nisy kosa ireo mpankafy baolina kitra nilaza fa rariny ny fitakiana sy ny fihetsik'ireo mpilalao. |

23 | @onuhjohno @BBCFarayi my heart bleeds when i think of those boys who toil for nothing and greedy adminstrators | maratra ny foko raha mieritreritra ireo lehilahy miezaka mafy tsy amin'ny antony sy ireo mpitantana tenda an-kanina |
24 | - anxiousmpini (@ankiecool) June 6, 2014 The theme about greedy administrators was echoed by an article [fr] on the Cameroon-footbuzz website which argued that: | Naverin'ny lahatsoratra [fr] tao amin'ny habaka Cameroun-footbuzz ny lohahevitra mikasika ireo mpitantana tenda an-kanina izay nilaza fa: |
25 | In the current dispensation, it is only fair that the players who are the main actors in football benefit from the fruits of their labor instead of the mediocre individuals who gravitate around the national team with the aim of enriching themselves… | Amin'ny toe-javatra ankehitriny, toa rariny raha mahazo ny valin-katsembohany ireo mpilalao baolina kitra, mpilalao baolina kitra fototra fa tsy ireo tsy hanino-tsy haninona manodidina ireo voafantina mikendry ny hampanankarena ny tenany |
26 | Shouldn't we be proud of these players instead of punishing them? | Tsy tokony hirehareha amin'ireo mpilalao ve isika toy izay hitrerotrerona amin'izy ireo? |
27 | Proud of these young men who are showing us the way. | Mirehareha amin'ireo tovolahy mampiseho antsika ny lalana. |
28 | These kids who, in this peculiar and repressive republic, did not miss the unique opportunity to say “Stop!!”. | Ireo ankizy izay, ao anatin'ny repoblika miavaka sy manafay, nahay manararaotra tsara ny fotoana miteny hoe “Ajanony!!”. |
29 | In the same vein, blogger Ngimbis explained [fr] why in Cameroon the call for patriotism is always a one-way street: | Mitovy hevitra amin'izany, bilaogera Ngimbis nanazava [fr] ny antony mahatonga ny ao Kamerona milaza ny fitiavan-tanindrazana ho lalan-tokana handehanana: |
30 | Why is it that when we talk of patriotism, we always ask more from athletes, musicians and other artists, than from regular civil servants or those in power? | Maninona isaky ny miresaka fitiavan-tanindrazana isika, dia mitaky betsaka hatrany amin'ireo mpanao fanatanjahatena, mpitendry mozika sy mpanakanto hafa, fa tsy amin'ireo mpiasam-panjakana na ireo eo amin'ny fahefana? |
31 | The reason is simple: the aura and talent of these athletes and artists provide cover for theft by high-ranking government officials in the shadows who use them as puppets to shore up their cupidity, greed, and dishonesty. | Tsotra ny antony: ny laza sy ny talentan'izy ireo no natao hiarovana ny halatra ataon'ireo olona ambony eo amin'ny fitondrana miafina ao ambadika ireo sy mampiasa azy ireo (mpilalao, mpanakanto…) ho toy ny saribakoly hiantoka ny fitiavam-bolan'izy ireo sy ny fitiavan-karenan'izy ireo. |
32 | The “duty” of the players and artists is be creators of wealth who do not share in that wealth. | Mpamorona harena nefa tsy mihinana, izay no “adidiny”. |
33 | National team captain Samuel Eto'o summed up the debate with a brief message which he posted [fr] on his Facebook page as the national team finally prepared to leave Cameroon: | Namehy ny adihevitra tamin'ny hafatra fohy izay nalefany [fr] tao amin'ny pejy Facebook-ny ny kapitenin'ny ekipam-pirenena, Samuel Eto'o fa efa vonona handao an'i Kamerona ny ekipam-pirenena: |
34 | It is a pity that our beautiful country, Cameroon, has some very amateurish leaders… Despite everything, we keep smiling, and we are indeed very proud to be Cameroonian and representing our country in a dignified and genuine manner. | Mampalahelo fa manana mpitondra sasany tsy mahay loatra ity firenentsika mahafinaritra ity, dia i Kamerona… Na dia izany aza, mitsiky foana isika, ary mirehareha tanteraka amin'ny maha-Kameroney sy misolo-tena ny firenentsika amin'ny fomba mendrika sy marina. |
