1A Mauritanian Blogging Week Against Foreign MiningHerinandro Fitorahana Bilaogy Ao Maoritania Hanoherana Ny Fitrandrahana Harena An-kibon'ny Tany Ataon'ny Vahiny
2A group of Mauritanian bloggers launched a blogging campaign under the theme “Against foreign mining companies” at the beginning of October.Nanomboka hetsika fanentanana mifototra amin'ny “Fanoherana ny fitrandrahan'ireo orinasa vahiny ny harena an-kibon'ny tany” ny andianà mpitoraka bilaogy Maoritaniana tamin'ny voalohan'ny volana Oktobra.
3For the bloggers, this campaign was intended to share their opinions about the issue of foreign companies, accused of looting Mauritania's mineral wealth.Nataon'ireo mpitoraka bilaogy hizaràna ny heviny mikasika ny olana ateraky ny fitrandrahan'ireo orinasa vahiny, izay noendrikendrehina ho mandroba ny harena an-kibon'ny tany Maoritaniana, ity hetsika ity.
4This campaign was inaugurated by publishing a series of posts at the same time, and continued for a week.Nosantarina tamin'ny fiaraha-mamoaka lahatsoratra aminà fotoana mitovy ity hetsika ity, izay nitohy nandritry ny herinandro.
5The Mauritanian bloggers interacted very well with this campaign, and until the moment of writing this article, many bloggers wrote many entries that monitored violations committed by those companies.Nifandray tsara ireo mpitoraka bilaogy nandritra ilay hetsika fanentanana, hatramin'izao fotoana hanoratana ny lahatsoratra izao, dia maro ireo mpitoraka bilaogy nanoratra lisitranà fampahalalam-baovao izay manara-maso ireo fandikan-dalàna nataon'ireo orinasa ireo.
6In addition to blog posts, bloggers engaged on Twitter, under the hashtag #Against looting our minerals.Ho fanampin'ireo lahatsoratra anaty bilaogy, nanomboka nampiasa ny Twitter ireo mpitoraka bilaogy, teo ambanin'ny tenifototra #Against looting our minerals (#Manohitra ny fandrobana ny mineralintsika).
7The campaign's news, postings and logos were widely circulated among Mauritanian users of Facebook and Twitter.Niparitaka teo anivon'ireo Maoritaniana mpampiasa Facebook sy Twitter ny vaovao, ny lahatsoratra ary sary famantarana mikasika ilay hetsika fanentanana.
8The participating posts in the campaign focused on the detection of the foreign companies' violations of environmental laws, and destruction of the surrounding areas.Nirona nankany amin'ny famantarana ny fandikàn-dalàna mifehy ny tontolo iainana ataon'ireo orinasa, sy ny famotehany ny faritra manodidina ireo lahatsoratra mikasika ilay hetsika fanentanana.
9Moreover, they unveiled the low percentage of profit given by these companies to Mauritania, that reach at the best 4 per cent of the price of mined gold and copper.Ambonin'izany, nabaribarin'izy ireo ny hakelin'ny isan-jaton'ny tombontsoa omen'ireo orinasa an'i Maoritania, izay raha be indrindra dia 4 isan-jaton' ny vidin'ny volamena sy varahina notrandrahana.
10They also highlighted the discrimination policies pursued by the foreign companies against their Mauritanian employees.Nazavain'izy ireo ihany koa ny politika fanavakavahana ataon'ireo orinasa vahiny ireo amin'ireo mpiasa Maoritaniana.
11Many writers and journalists interacted with the idea of the bloggers, and in turn wrote many articles to support the campaign.Maro ny mpanoratra sy mpanao gazety niombon-kevitra tamin'ireo mpitoraka bilaogy, ka nanoratra lahatsoratra maro hanohanana ny hetsika fanentanana.
12Mauritanian blogger Sidi Weld Mohamed Lamine participated in this campaign publishing a post he entitled “I want my friend alive”, in which he talked about the death of his friend because of the toxins used by these companies.Nandray anjara tamin'ity hetsika ity ilay mpitoraka bilaogy Maoritaniana, Sidi Weld Mohamed Lamine ary nanoratra lahatsoratra iray mitondra ny lohateny hoe “Tiako ho velona ny namako”, izay niresahany ny nahafatesan'ny namany noho ireo poizina nampiasain'ireo orinasa ireo.
13He writes:Hoy izy manoratra :
14In any self-respecting government that sanctifies the lives of its citizens, does give up playing its natural role in protecting the country, her sons, animals, trees and wealth.Anatinà firenena iray manaja tena izay manome hasina ny ain'ireo mponiny, dia tsy miverin-dàlana amin'ny anjara asany momba ny fiarovana ny firenena, ny zanany, ireo biby, hazo sy harena.
15And if it has to waive our wealth let it be.Ary raha tsy maintsy hampidina ny toekareny aza izany tsy maninona.
16But it has to protect the human lives that work amid an inert volcano that can explode at anytime to reap lives without mercy - just as what had happened with my deceased friend.Fa tsy maintsy miaro ny olombelona izay miasa eo afovoan'ny volkano matory izay mety hipoaka amin'ny fotoana tsy ampoizina ka handripaka aina tsy misy antra - tahaka ny nitranga tamin'ilay namako maty.
17Prohibiting cyanide so that the only child of my deceased friend grows up, and who was born after his death, and that he will be threatened while playing or if he touches or inhales this damned material and dies immediately does not console me.Tsy mampionona ahy ny fandraràna ny cyanide mba hahafahan'ilay zaza tokana navelan'ny namako maty hitombo, izay teraka taorian'ny nahafatesany, ary ho voarahona raha sanatria milalao na mikasika na mifoka ity fitaovan-doza ity izy ka maty tsy tra-drano.
18Revealing the truth behind the death of my friend by the company does not console me.Tsy mampihonona ahy ny famborahako ny marina ambadiky ny fahafatesan'ny namako noho ilay orinasa.
19And Mauritania's taking of greater revenues of copper and gold does not console me.Ary tsy mampionona ahy ny fitomboan'ny vola miditra amin'i Maoritania avy amin'ny varahina sy volamena.
20Also the Mauritanian author Abed Arhman Widadi participated in the campaign launched by the bloggers, talking in his blog “Raja Elsada” (Echo) about the proportion given by the foreign companies to Mauritania:Nirotsaka tao anatin'ilay hetsika fanentanana nataon'ireo mpitoraka bilaogy ihany koa ilay Maoritaniana mpanoratra, Abed Arhman Widadi, ka nanoratra tao anatin'ny bilaoginy “Raja Elsada” (Ako) mikasika ny vahana nomena ireo orinasa vahiny any Maoritania:
21The mines of Taziazat and Akjojet are a blatant testimony to the gravity of the catastrophe as only 4% of copper and 3% of gold revenues are given by these foreign companies [to Mauritania].Ny tobim-pitrandrahana any Taziazat sy Akjojet dia vavolombelona mazava ny amin'ny mahasaro-pady ilay loza satria ny 4% n'ny vola azo avy amin'ny varahina sy ny 3% ny volamena ihany no alohan'ireo orinasa ireo [amin'i Maoritania].
22Yet those two firms deny the employees' rights and shamefully use toxins.Nefa ireo ozinina roa ireo dia mandà ny zon'ireo mpiasany ary mampiasa poizina izay mampitsanga-menatra.
23It is shameful that all this happening after nearly four decades of the nationalization of Miverma company that was providing the best ratio.Mahamenatra mihitsy raha efa ho 40 taona taorian'ny nakan'ny fanjakana ny orinasa Miverma izay nanome ny salan'isa tsara indrindra no mitranga izao rehetra izao.
24The decision of nationalizing this company was taken by Mokhtar Weld Dadah, God's mercy on him, despite the harsh conditions that Mauritania went through during the seventies and the absence of national competencies, and the impact of French domination that was angered to the extent of threatening of military intervention.Noraisin'i Mokhtar Weld Dadah izany fanapahan-kevitra izany, Andriamanitra anie hamindra fo aminy, na dia mafy aza ny làlana nolalovan'i Maoritania tamin'ny taona fitopolo niampy ny tsy fisian'ny fahaiza-manaon'ny firenena, ary ny fiantraikan'ny fibodoan'ny Frantsay izay nahatezitra nihitatra hatrany amin'ny mety hilàna ny firotsahan'ny miaramila an-tsehatra.
25The blog “Alrai El Hor” [Arabic for Free Opinion] discussed the danger poised by these foreign mining companies on the Mauritanian environment, and the discriminatory policies against Mauritanian employees working there:Niresaka momba ny loza napetrak'ireo orinasa mpitrandraka harena an-kibon'ny tany ao amin'ny tontolo iainana Maoritaniana sy ny fanavakavahana mihatra amin'ireo Maoritaniana miasa ao aminy ny bilaogy “Alrai El Hor” [Arabo ho an'ny fanehoan-kevitra malalaka]:
26Voices are rising day after day to demand the reduction of the environmental pollution caused by these companies, whether by workers found on site - one of whom one told me about the segregation practiced there.Miakatra isan'andro ny feo mangataka ny hanenàna ny fandotoana ny tontolo iainana ataon'ireo orinasa ireo, na ny an'ny mpiasa izay hita eny an-toerana - nisy iray tamin'izy ireo nilaza tamiko ny fanavakavahana atao any.
27He said some Western employees isolate themselves in well-protected areas while they distribute local workers in cantons that lack the lowest level of protection - or by some experts in this field such as the former engineer and director of environmental supervision Mr.Khalil Weld Ahmed Khlaifa who was sacked from his job as result of unveiling the tremendous risks that effect the Mauritanian environment.Nilaza izy fa ny mpiasa tandrefana sasany dia manava-tena anaty toerana voaaro tsara raha ny mpiasa teratany kosa alefa anaty kantao (cantons) fotsiny, izay tsy mba misy fiarovana na dia ny kely indrindra aza - na ny an'ireo manam-pahaizana ao amin'io sehatra io, sahala amin'ilay enjeniera teo aloha sady talen'ny fanaraha-maso ny tontolo iainana, Mr.Khalil Weld Ahmed Khlaifa, izay voaroaka rehefa nanambara ireo mety ho voka-dratsy ho an'ny tontolo iainana Maoritaniana.
28Sidi Al Tayeb Weld Almujtaba adds:Nanampy i Sidi Al Tayeb Weld Almujtaba:
29Can our minds believe that 500 Mauritanian citizens died in the northern region in the last five years as a result of radiological activities carried out by these mining companies…However these companies continue to kill and assault without any supervision or punishment.Mino ve ny sain-tsika fa olom-pirenena Maoritaniana 500 no maty tany amin'ny faritra avaratra tato anatin'ny dimy taona lasa teo, vokatry ny fisian'ny taratra radiolojika avy amin'ny ataon'ireny orinasa mpitrandraka harena an-kibon'ny tany ireny …Kanefa mbola manohy manitsakitsaka sy mamono tsy misy fanaraha-maso na fanamaizana ihany ireny orinasa ireny.
30Any arrogant person today cannot ignore the spread of these malicious diseases and fatal cancers in the northern cities as result to the spread of toxins that move through natural elements (wind, air, sediment, and even reach down to the groundwater table).Na iza na iza olona miangiangy amin'izao dia tsy afaka mijery fotsiny ny fiparitahan'ireo aretina sy homamiadana mahafaty any amin'ireo tanàna avaratra vokatry ny fiparitahan'ireo poizina vy amin'ny singa vaojanahary (rivotra, dilatra, ary mety hahatratra ny tahirin-drano ambanin'ny tany).
31The Mauritanian state recognizes this tragedy very well, which is acknowledged by all the names of the victims, living and dead, and the details of their injury circumstances, and even the beds they died on.Fantatry ny fanjakana Maoritaniana tsara ireo loza mitranga ireo, izay fantatra avy amin'ny anaran'ireo niharan-doza, na maty na velona, hatramin'ny antsipirihan'ny nahatonga ny aretiny, hatramin'ny fandriana nialan'ny ainy.
32Despite all this, it turns a blind eye and abides to silence.Na eo izany rehetra izany aza dia minia tsy mahita ary mihazona hatrany ny fahanginana izy.
33Below are some reactions from Twitter.Fihetseham-pon'ny olona ao amin'i Twitter ireto manaraka ireto.
34Blogger Abdallah Weld Jeilany accused some politicians of receiving bribes from these foreign companies:Miampanga ny mpanao politika ho mandray kolikoly avy amin'ireo orinasa vahiny ireo ny mpitoraka bilaogy Abdallah Weld Jeilany:
35@AbdallahJeilany: Some politicians reacted with the crime of looting Mauritania's wealth and defended it.@AbdallahJeilany: Naneho hevitra momba ny fandroban'ny sasany ny harena Maoritaniana ireo mpanao politika sasany ka niaro azy ity.
36They legitimized it through laws, which they passed for a handful of bribes.Manamarina izany amin'ny alalan'ny lalàna izy ireo, izay nolaniany tao ambadiky ny kolikoly maro.
37And Saifuddin Alchankity criticized the complicity of media with these companies:Manakiana ny firaisan'ny haino aman-jery tsikombakomba amin'ireo orinasa ireo i Saifuddin Alchankity:
38@Saifuddin: Our Media solicit the looting of our wealth by (our partners in development) who are in fact (devils residing in development).@Saifuddin: Miandrandra ny fivarotana ny harentsika (amin'ireo mpiara-miombon'antoka amin'ny fampandrosoana), izay azo lazaina hoe (devoly miafina ao amin'ny resaka fampandrosoana) ny haino aman-jerintsika.
39Blogger Taha Alhafedh warned from the exhaustion of the country's mineral wealth:Mampitandrina ny amin'ny mety hahalanian'ny harena an-kibon'ny tanin'ny firenena i Taha Alhafedh, mpitoraka bilaogy:
40@TahaAlhafedh: The problem in Mauritania is that when the people wake up, our wealth will be exhausted due to the systematic looting, and till the people wake up, I hope we have a homeland left.@TahaAlhafedh: Ny olana aty Maoritania dia rehefa hifoha amin'izay ireo mponina dia mety efa ho lany ny harentsika, rehefa niharan'ny fandrobàna diso tafahoatra, ary mandra-pifohan'ny olona, dia manantena aho fa mbola hisy tany ho tavela ho antsika.
41And Alhoussain Weld Amor as well talked about the lack of benefits to the Mauritanian people from its mineral wealth:Niresaka mikasika ny hakelin'ny tombony azon'ny mponina Maoritaniana avy amin'ny harena an-kibon'ny taniny ihany koa i Alhoussain Weld Amor:
42@houmar83: From the very beginning we understood what is said in the radio, and we heard about the validation of projects to extract minerals and licenses, but our luck from all this is death.@houmar83: Efa hatramin'ny voalohany no takatsika ny zavatra nambara tamin'ny radio, henontsika ny fankatoavana ilay tetikasa hitrandraka ny harena an-kibon'ny tany sy ny fahazoan-dàlana, fa hany vintana azontsika avy amin'izany dia ny fahafatesana.
43Activist Sheikh Sharif accused the Mauritanian president of taking commissions from these companies:Niampanga ny filoham-pirenena Maoritaniana ho mandray vola avy amin'ireo orinasa ireo ilay mafàna fo Sheikh Sharif:
44@cheikhchrif: Of course these companies are not able to loot our mineral wealth without permission from the general, and for sure, this deal is not for free.@cheikhchrif: Mazava fa ireo orinasa ireo dia tsy afaka mivarotra ireo harena mineraly ireo raha tsy mahazo alàlana avy amin'ny jeneraly, ary mino aho fa tsy maimaimpoana izany fifanarahana izany
45Blogger Badereddine Eldari wrote:Nanoratra i Badereddine Eldari, mpitoraka bilaogy :
46@baderdine1: Mauritania: a country that has the second biggest gold mine in the world.@baderdine1: Maoritania: firenena izay manana ny tobim-pitrandrahana volamena faharoa lehibe indrindra eran-tany.
47However, its people live in dire poverty where only the corrupt have rights.Na izany aza, ny mponina eo aminy dia miaina ao anatin'ny fahantrana tanteraka ary any dia ny kolikoly no manjaka.
48And activist Nasser El Hashem interacted with the campaign saying:Nilaza i Nasser El Hashem, mafàna fo iray nifandray tamin'ny hetsika fanentanana:
49@n_nasser56: What's happening is theft.@n_nasser56: Halatra ny zava-mitranga izao.
50You might buy the silence of some pens, but the crime's traces condemn you.Afaka vidinao ny fahanginan'ny penina sasany, fa ny dian'ny heloka bevava dia manameloka anao.
51The hills out there are nearly talking about your crimes.Ny havoana ety dia vavolombelona miresaka ny heloka nataonareo.
52A full report on what Mauritanian bloggers wrote about foreign mining companies appears on Paparazzi blog.Hita ao amin'ny bilaogy Paparazzi ny tatitra feno momba izay nosoratan'ireo mpitoraka bilaogy Maoritaniana mikasika ny orinasa vahiny mpitrandraka harena an-kibon'ny tany.
