1 | Madagascar: What Next, After Former President Is Denied Entry? | Madagasikara: Dia Ahoana Ny Manaraka Rehefa Tsy Tafody Ny Filoha Teo Aloha? |
2 | Former President Marc Ravalomanana attempted for the second time to return to Madagascar last Saturday 21 January, 2012. | Fanindroany tamin'ny Asabotsy 21 janoary 2012 lasa tedo no nikasa hody an-tanindrazana ny Filoha teo aloha Marc Ravalomanana. |
3 | Malagasy citizens anxiously witnessed his attempt at returning home after three years in exile. | Tamim-pitaintainana no niandrasan'ny Malagasy ity fikasana hody ity rehefa sesintany nandritra ny telo taona ny tenany. |
4 | But as reported by Niren Tolsi in the Mail and Guardian: | Saingy hoy ny filazan'i Niren Tolsi ao amin'ny Mail and Guardian: |
5 | Ravalomanana's attempt to set foot on Malagasy soil was thwarted an hour before it was due to happen. | Tafaodina ora iray mialoha ny saika hanitsahany ny tanindrazana ny fikasan-dRavalomanana hody. |
6 | According to the airline's security chief, the pilot had been informed by ground control at Ivato International Airport that it had been closed due to “security concerns”. | Araka ny nolazain'ny lehiben'ny sampam-piarovana ao amin'ny zotram-piaramanidina dia nampafantarin'ny mpanara-maso avy aty an-tanety ao amin'ny seranam-piaramanidina Iraisampirenena ao Ivato ny fikatonany noho ny “antony ara-pilaminana”. |
7 | News filtering through suggested that large crowds - estimated between 20 000 and 30 000 - had gathered at Ivato in expectation of Ravalomanana. | Ny vaovao mipongatra no manoro fa misy vahoaka maro - tombanana ho 20 000 ka hatramin'ny 30 000 - tafavory ao Ivato miandry an-dRavalomanana. |
8 | No one would say who had given the order to close the airport down, but Ravalomanana's aides suggested that it must have been an executive order from someone in the government of Andry Rajoelina (who had deposed Ravalomanana's democratically elected government in a 2009 coup). | Tsy nisy nahasahy niteny hoe iza no nibaiko ny fanakatonana ny seranam-piaramanidina, fa ny manodidina an-dRavalomanana no manombana fa mety ho baiko avy amin'ny anankiray ao amin'ny fitondran-dRajoelina (izay nanongana tamin'ny 2009 an-dRavalomanana voafidim-bahoaka) iny. |
9 | Video of the attempted return uploaded by Jentilisa to YouTube on January 21: | Ity misy lahatsarin'ny fikasana hody navoakan'i Jentilisa ao amin'ny YouTube tamin'ny 21 Janoary : |
10 | Citoyenne Malgache, a local blogger reports emotionally on the bitter sweet feelings of his supporters [fr, mg] who came in great numbers to welcome him: | Citoyenne Malgache, mpamaham-bolongana ao an-toerana mitatitra ny fihetseham-po faly misy alahelo ao amin'ny mpanohana [fr, mg] izay tonga maro hitsena azy: |
11 | And today, you went back home with a heavy heart, you have not met who you came to welcome, but you [can] console yourself: we came numerous, that is our victory. | Androany raha nalahelo ny fonao tonga tao an-trano fa tsy nahita ilay notsenainao, nampionon-tena ianao: Maro isika androany, izay no fandresentsika. |
12 | You get courage: We will wait until 8 pm… And you know you will come back at the next call. | Nampahery tena ianao: Andrasanay na amin'ny valo alina aza…fantatrao fa mbola ho avy ihany ianao amin'ny antso manaraka. |
13 | What will you become if you feel vanquished? | Inona no hahazo anao raha mahatsapa ho resy ianao? |
14 | You may not be THE people, but you are part of it, and there is no right to ignore you. | Mety ho tsy ianao ILAY vahoaka, fa anisany ianao, tsy azo tsinontsinoavina ianao. |
15 | But do not forget that nobody will take care of you. | Nefa tsarovy fa tsy hisy hikarakara anao, afa-tsy ianao ihany. |
16 | Some will laugh at you : your father will not come… For others, you are a subject of analysis and reporting. | Misy ny haneso anao: tsy ho avy eo izany ny dadanareo… Ho an'nyhafa indray dia ataony fanadihady sy famakafaka ianao. |
17 | Others will use you. | Misy tokoa ny hampiasa [hanararaotra] anao. |
18 | But defend your choice and accept the rest. | Saingy arovy ny safidinao dia zakao ny ambiny |

21 | Apparent dissent amongst Rajoelina's transitional government was pointed out by bloggers, as the Prime Minister and the Minister of Communications openly contradicted themselves regarding who issued the NOTAMs (‘Notices to Airmen'), the government or Rajoelina himself, or even if NOTAMs were issued, and whether Ravalomanana was going to be arrested, or not. | Nasongadin'ny mpamaham-bolongana ny fifanoheran-kevitra teo amin'ny fitondrana tetezamitan-dRajoelina, tahaka ny Praiminisitra sy ny Minisitry ny Serasera izay nifanohi-kevitra momba ny NOTAMs (‘Notices to Airmen' na ‘Naoty ho an'ny Mpiandanitra'), ny governemanta sy Rajoelina tenany, ary na dia efa nivoaka aza ny NOTAMs, dia mbola ifanoherana ny isamborana na tsia an-dRavalomanana. |
22 | Prime Minister Omer Beriziky, a moderate politician, as interviewed on RFI [fr]: | Niresaka tamin'ny mpanao gazety tao amin'ny RFI [fr] ny Praiminisitra Omer Beriziky, mpanao politika mitandrin-tena: |
23 | I can assure you that the government never ordered the closure of the airports in Madagascar. | Azoko atao ny manome antoka anareo fa tsy nanome baiko ny hanakatonana ny seranam-piaramanidina teto Madagasikara na oviana na oviana ny governemanta. |
24 | The return of the former president was possible. | Azo tanterahina ny fodian'ny filoha teo aloha. |
25 | However, I would have preferred that he returns under different conditions. | Saingy iriko mba rehefa miaina anatina fepetra hafa. |
26 | I thought it would be possible to come to a consensus, that all protagonists of the roadmap could find together a consensual way to return the president to his home country. | Mieritreritra aho fa azo atao ny mahita vahaolana ifanarahana, izany hoe miara-mahita anaty fifanarahana ny fomba hampodiana an-tanindrazana ny filoha ny mpandray anjara tamin'ny Tondro Zotra. |

28 | Used with permission. The transitional government did not have a coherent strategy to deal with the crisis, as summarized by VANF on his weekly column for Express de Madagascar [fr]: | Tsy nitombina loatra ny tetipanoron'ny fitondrana tetezamita hamahana ny kirizy araka an'i VANF ao amin'ny matoan-dahatsoratra famoakany isn-kerinandro ao amin'ny Express de Madagascar [fr]: |
29 | The Defence Minister said he would ensure that order be maintained, the Chief of the Army in Analamanga pretends to use a warrant arrest against Ravalomanana, the Justice Minister stays mum [quiet], the Prime Minister would have assured Marc Ravalomanana that he saw no argument against his return to Madagascar. | Ny minisitry ny fiarovana milaza hianona amin'ny fitandroana ny filaminana, ny Lehiben'ny EMMO-Reg Analamanga milaza hampihatra ny didy fampisamborana an'i Marc Ravalomanana, ny Minisitry ny Fitsarana naleony tsy niteny, ny Praiminisitra nanome toky an'i Marc Ravalomanana fa tsy hitany ny tsininy amin'ny fiverenany eto Madagasikara. |
30 | Incredibly, the Minister of Communications, Rolly Mercia, denied that NOTAMs were ever issued [fr], despite evidence to the contrary. | Tsy nampino fa mandà ny fisian'ny NOTAMs nivoaka ny minisitry ny serasera, Rolly Mercia. |
31 | VANF adds [fr]: | Hoy [fr] i VANF: |
32 | While he went from interview to interview in the media to declare that there never were any NOTAMs, copies of the five NOTAMs ordered by the president himself were posted on the ASECNA website, shared on Twitter and Facebook. | Raha mbola nitety nanao valandresaka tamin'ny haino aman-jery isan-karazany izy nilaza fa tsy nisy mihitsy izany NOTAMs izany, dia efa nivoaka tao amin'ny vohikalan'ny ASECNA ary nifampizarana nanerana ny Twitter sy ny Facebook ny dikantsoratry ny NOTAM dimy navoakan'ny Filohan'ny tetezamita tenany. |
33 | Ridiculous! | Mampaonena! |
34 | What should one conclude: incoherence, incompetence or chronic stanilism? | Inona no fehiny: saritaka, tsy fahaiza-miasa sa stanilisma raiki-tapisaka? |
35 | On Twitter, some users deny that Madagascar skies were completely closed, and suggest that Ravalomanana's plane would have been able to land at Morondava airport, nevertheless where there was no welcoming crowd, and the president would have been easily apprehended: | Ao amin'ny Twitter, misy ny mpisera sasany mandà ny hoe nikatona tanteraka ny lanitr'i Madagasikara, ary nihevitra fa tokony ho afa-nidina tao amin'ny seranam-piaramanidin'i Morondava ny voromby nitondra an-dRavalomanana, saingy tsy nisy vahoaka nitsena tany ka mora ny isamborana azy tany: |
36 | @hdleague: It is incorrect to state that Ravalomanana was prohibited to return to Madagascar. | @hdleague: Noho izany dia tsy marina ny filazana fa voarara tsy hiverina teto Madagasikara Ravalomanana. |
37 | He was permitted to land in Morondava to be arrested. | Navela higadonany i Morondava isamborana azy. |

39 | On ‘Madagate', Jeannot Ramambazafy [fr] acknowledges Ravalomanana's right to enter Madagascar, but also defends Malagasy rights to judge Ravalomanana, who was condemned for allegedly ordering his presidential guard to fire on demonstrators in February 2009: | Ao amin'ny ‘Madagate' i Jeannot Ramambazafy [fr] dia manaiky fa manan-jò hody eto Madagasikara Ravalomanana, saingy narovany ny zon'ny Malagasy hitsara an-dRavalomanana, izay nomelohina fa heverina ho nibaiko ny mpiandry ny lapam-panjakana hitifitra ny mpanao fihetsiketsehana tamin'ny Febroary 2009: |
40 | The reason why the pilot - who refused - was asked to land in Morondava was to apply the law and to ensure the physical security of Marc Ravalomanana, who evidently, has the right to return, but… in the name of the independence of Malagasy justice, the arrest warrant issued against Ravalomanana since 2009, will be used. | Noho izany raha nangatahina ny mpanamory - izay nandà - ny hidina tao Morondava, dia ho fampiharana io didy io ary hiarovana ny tenan'i Marc Ravalomanana, izay mazava loatra fa manan-jò hiditra, saingy… Amin'ny anaran'ny fahaleovantenan'ny Fitsarana Malagasy, dia tontosaina ny didy fampisamborana azy nampiharina hatramin'ny 2009. |
41 | Marc Harmelle [fr], a commenter on Fijery blog, expresses doubts on Ravalomanana's motives: | Marc Harmelle [fr], mpamoaka hevitra ao amin'ny bolongan'i Fijery, dia miahiahy amin'izay manetsika an-dRavalomanana: |
42 | I wonder tonight what his motivations were to call such a crowd; was it to get himself a human shield or pure delusions of greatness, to receive an ovation from miserable people? | Manontany tena aho androany hariva amin'izay antony niantsoany ireo vahoaka ireo; ho ampigan'ny ainy ve sa mba te-hoderaina, hotehatehafan'ny vahoaka fadiranovana? |
43 | The first hypothesis is disgusting and cowardly, the second would demonstrate that three years have not matured him. | Maharikoriko ny valiny voalohany sady an'ny katahotra, ny faharoa indray dia mbola tsy nahamatotra azy ihany ny telo taona. |
44 | In my opinion, coming home discreetly and putting himself in the hands of justice would have been judicious; it would be impossible to refuse him this return, impossible to torture him, and I bet he would have only spent a few days in jail, in the worst case; the international and national pressure would have applied and what a political aura it would have lent him!!! | Raha ny hevitro dia ny mody mangina sy mitolo-batana eo amin'ny fitsarana no nety kokoa, tsy azo nolavina izay fodiany izay, sarotra ny hampijaly azy ary azoko antoka fa ny ratsy indrindra mety ho azony dia andro vitsivitsy ao am-pigadrana monja; hiditra an-tsehatra ny sehatra iraisampirenena sy manerana ny firenena ary ho tahaka ny ahoana re ny laza ara-politika!!! |
45 | Rovahiga‘s post title ‘Rajoelina marque contre son camp' (Rajoelina shoots himself in the foot) suggests that Ravalomanana's entry denial was a loss for Rajoelina's camp. | Rovahiga ao amin'ny hafatra mitondra ny lohateny hoe ‘Rajoelina marque contre son camp' (Namono tena, eo amin'ny sehatry ny baolina, Rajoelina) ary nilaza fa faharesena ho an'ny ankolafy Rajoelina ny tsy namelana an-dRavalomanana hody. |
46 | The US Embassy, which has been actively following the events on Twitter, disavowed a CNN reporting story that hinted that the US did not agree with Ravalomanana's return: | Ny Ambasady Amerikana izay nanaraka akaiky ny raharaha tao amin'ny Twitter dia tsy nanaiky ny Tati-baovaon'ny CNN izay nilaza fa tsy nanaiky ny hodian-dRavalomanana i Etazonia: |
47 | @USMadagascar: US regrets the circulation of a story by CNN that incorrectly reflects our official position on the return of Ravalomanana to #Madagascar | Malahelo amin'ny tantara aelin'ny CNN izay tsy mitaratra loatra ny hevitra ofisialinay amin'ny fampodiana an-dRavalomanana eto Madagasikara i Etazonia. |
48 | Fijery [fr] doubts of any real repercussions after Saturday's debacle, especially coming from the international community, which has failed to advance the concrete applications of the roadmap to bring peace to Madagascar: | Miahiahy izay mety ho fiantraikan'io saritaka tamin'ny Asabotsy io i Fijery [fr], indrindra fa izay avy any amin'ny Fiarahamonina Iraisampirenena, izay tsy nahavita nampandroso ny fampiharana ny tondrozotra hitondra fandriampahalemana ho an'i Madagasikara: |
49 | The inflight U-turn a few miles from Antananarivo in front of international journalists ridicules, if more ridicule were needed, a transitional government marked by amateurism. | Hanaratsy endrika kokoa ny fitondrana FAT malaza amin'ny “kitoatoa”, raha mbola ilaina izany, iny fiverenan-dalana efa eny an-danitra efa manakaiky an'Antananarivo eo anatrehan'ny mpanao gazety iraisampirenena iny. |
50 | […] This decision demonstrates to the international community how little Andry Rajoelina and his clique actually want reconciliation and appeasement. | […] Mifanindran-dalana amin'izany iny fanapehan-kevitra inydia mampiseho amin'ny Fiarahamonina Iraisampirenena fa tsy dia miraharaha izay fampihavanana sy fitoniana izany Andry Rajoelina sy ny tariny. |
51 | This said, I do not think this last event will have much impact. | Rehefa voalaza izany dia tsy mino aho fa hisy fiantraikany be loatra izany. |
52 | When we saw how eagerly the European Ambassador and the United Nations coordinator renounced themselves in front of Mr Rajoelina, without holding into account the many violations of democracy and human rights, we can reasonably say that another derailment will fail to move the international community, ready to swallow any dubious HAT lies. | Hitantsika ny fahamehan'ny masoivohon'ny Vondrona Eoropeana sy ny Mpandrindra ao amin'ny Firenena Mikambana hiankohoka eo anatrehan'Atoa Rajoelina, tsy niraharaha ny fanitsakitsahana ny demokrasia syny zon'olombelona, dia azo lazaina fa tsy ny fibolisarana hafa ihanetsi-bolomaso ny fiarahamonina iraisampirenena, vonona ny hitelina ny laingaben'ny FAT. |
53 | Since Saturday, Malagasy protagonists have been urgently summoned in Johannesburg [fr] today to meet with the SADC (Southern African Development Community). | Hatramin'ny Asabotsy dia nampanantsoina haingana anio ho any Johannesburg ny ankolafy mandray anjara [fr] hivory hiaraka amin'ny SADC (Southern African Development Community). |
54 | Madagascar's transitional Prime Minister, Omer Beriziky, has been reported as attending. | Nisy nitatitra fa nanatrika izany ny Praiminisitry ny tetezamita eto Madagasikara, Omer Beriziky. |
