Montego Bay Day By Day dia naka sombin-dahatsoratra avy amin'ny The Road to Freedom na lalam-pahafahana nosoratan'i Tanesha Ramdanie, izay mamariparitra ny fihetsika mamaly ny filazana ara-tantara:

Tears of joy flowed incessantly, while shouts of freedom rang from the mountain tops and the plains, from the men, women and children, who had learnt that they were finally free of the oppressive social and economic system in which they were treated as less than human.

…raha naka ampaham-kira  malaza Baribady izay nanainga ireo andevo afaka an'arivony hihira an-dalambe hihira ny isan'andininy rehefa nandre ny fanafoanana ny rafi-mpanompoana ka mametraka amin'izay ny tena fahafahana tamin'izany taona 1838 izany i Gallimaufry :

Lick and lock-up done wid,
Hurrah for Jin-Jin!
Lick and lock-up done wid,
Hurrah for Jin-Jin!

God bless de Queen fuh set we free
Hurrah for Jin-Jin!
Now lick and lock-up done wid,
Hurrah for Jin-Jin!

Tsitoha hitahy ny mpanjaka nandefa antsika ho afaka,
mihoraha ho an'i Jin-Jin
Nihidy anaty lalina no afaka nahazo ny malalaka,
mihoraha ho an'i Jin-Jin

 
“Jin-Jin” dia milaza ny Mpanjakavavy Victoria ary io tononkira io dia voasokitra ao ambadiky ny sarivongan'ny fanafahana ho fahatsiarovana an'i Bussa - andevo nitarika ny fikomiana tamin'ny tompon'ny sahabe naharitra indrindra tany Baribada ary maty mahery fo nandritra ny ady iray.

Mpamaham-bolongana Baribady hafa, Dennis Jones, no mitantara ny fisesisesin'ny asa any Bridgetown ho fiomanana amin'ny fety:

The Esplanade was already set up and decked ready for celebrations later in the day. Amongst those already milling around for these, I saw many Rastas, or at least people with dreadlocks and tied heads; they were equally numbered with people who were dressed in west African style clothes. Each group was outnumbered by vendors at this early stage, as they set up and started cooking: the smell of the fish fritters was really hard to resist…

Saingy nampiany hoe:

I'll be very surprised if I hear many words about emancipation during the day, except during the radio or TV broadcasts related to the day's celebrations, and that strikes me as sad. For most of us there is nothing august about this day–nothing majestic, dignified, or grand. It is very ordinary. Maybe freedom has made us all complacent about what bondage really represented. Many black people only focus on the slave heritage imposed on their ancestors by Europeans and so see it as a white-on-black “crime”, and know little or nothing about the long history of slavery…

So, while we can loll around complacently with the freedom that we now have, we ought to get sight of its absence in many, many places. Remember that slavery is an international injustice, that has racial and ethnic aspects far removed from black-white relations.

Noho izany raha mianoka ny fahafahana iaianana ankehitriny isika, dia tokony hahay mijery ny fahabangany any amin'ny toerana maro dia maro. Tsarovy fa tsy rariny hita any amin'ny firenentsamihafa ny fanandevozana, ary toetram-pifandraisana eo amin'ny foko na fiaviana mifanalavitra amin'ny fifandraisan'ny fotsy sy ny mainty

Na izany aza dia namoaka ny fandaharam-potoana hotanterahina mandritra ity Androm-panafahana ity i Discover TnT Blog ho an'i Trinite sy Tobago ary Abeni avy any St. Vincent sy Grenadines indray nisintona avy amin'i  Bob Marley sy Maya Angelou hilazany ny fomba fijeriny ny mahazava-dehibe tokony hankalazana mandrakariva ity fotoana ity.

Twenty-eight years after Bob performed “Zimbabwe”, Robert Mugabe is still holding on desperately to power and it seems that he will use any tactic necessary to continue his dictatorship. Now the Chinese are involved

“Valo ambi-roapolo taona taty aorian'ny nihiran'i Bob [Marley] ny hira hoe “Zimbabwe”, dia mbola mifikitra eo amin'ny fitondrana [ihany] i Robert Mugabe ary toa mampiasa izay tetika rehetra mba ahafahany manohy ny fitondrana jadony aza. Izao indray idiran'ny Shinoa ny raharaha.”
[FANAMPIM_PANAZAVANA : tamin'ny 17 Aprily 1980 dia tonga nihira ho fankalazana ny fahaleovantenan'i Zimbaboe i Bob Marley sy ny tariny The Wailers, tamin'izany andro izany no nanombohan'i Robert Mugabe ho Praisministra “vaovao” ary lasa filoham-pirenena nanomboka tamin'ny 1987 - via fluctuat.net >>]

Bajan Global Report kosa manolotra ny heviny ny amin'ny hoavin'ilay sambo:

the vessel, the An Yue Jiang may have no choice but to return to its origins with its shipment of weapons. That’s because Mozambique, Angola and Namibia under international pressure and lead by the Bush administration have also denied access to the ship docking and unloading at their ports in case they risk hurting relations with the US.

“mety tsy hanantsafidy afatsy ny miverina any amin'ny tany izay niangany miaraka amin'ireo fitaovam-piadiana izay entiny ny sambo An Yue Jiang. Satria nohon'ny fahatahorana ny governemantan'i Bush, na i Môzambika, na i Angôla, na i Namibia dia samy nandà ny hiantsonan'ilay sambo sy ny hamoahana ireo fitaovana any aminy, mba tsy hanohintohina ny fifandraisan'ny tsirairay amin'ny Amerikana.”

Child of the Revolution dia mampitaha an'i Robert Mugabe sy i Fidel Castro izay mpiaradia hatrizay :

Mind you, compared to the Castro brothers, the sad truth is that Mugabe could be described as an enlightened democrat. Almost.

Unlike his friends in Havana, the Zimbabwean dictator tolerates opposition groups (between arrests, that is), and holds regular elections where opposition candidates are allowed to run and sometimes, even win seats in the legislature.

But you know how it is … sometimes, even rigged elections can turn out to be, well, real elections.

“Tandremo anefa fa raha ampitahainareo amin'ny rahalahy [kamarady] Castro i Mugabe, ny zava-marina sy mety mampalahelo dia azo lazaina aza fa liana demokrasia izy. Eny e saika.

Satria raha ampitahaina amin'ireo namany any la Havane [renivohitry Koba], ity mpitondra jadona Zimbaboeana ity aza dia mba mamela izay fijoroan'ny antoko mpanohitra (eny an'elanelan'ny fampidirana am-ponja, izay misy) sady manatanteraka fifidianana ara-potoana izay amelana ireo kandidà mpanohitra hilatsaka ho fidiana ary tsindraindray aza mandresy sy mandrombaka ny seza.

Anefa fantatreo ihany fa tsindraindray … na dia izay fifidianana ahiana tsy hizotra ara-drariny aza dia mivadika ho fifidianana marina tokoa.”

Barbados Free Press kosa manapariaka ny kabarin'i Morgan Tsvangirai izay filohan'ny antoko mpanohitra MDC [Movement for Democratic Change | Hetsika hoan'ny fiovana Demôkratika] :

The challenge of giving birth to a new Zimbabwe founded on restoration and not on retribution; on equality and not discrimination; on love, not war; on tolerance, not hate.

After Saturday 29th of March 2008, Zimbabwe will never be the same again; the people have spoken with one voice.

I would like to thank the millions who came to reclaim their dignity and invest in the change they can trust.

“Ny tanjona amin'ny fahaterahan'ny Zimbaboe vaovao izay mifototra amin'ny fanarenana fa tsy fikaramana; amin'ny fitovian-jo fa tsy fanavakavahana; amin'ny fitiavana fa tsy ady; amin'ny fihavanana fa tsy fankahalana.

Taorian'ny Asabotsy 29 Martsa 2008, dia tsy ho hitovy amin'ny taloha intsony i Zimbaboe; indray nanadra-peo ny vahoaka.”

Sitrako ny haneho fisaorana ireo olona amam-tapitrisany izay tonga nitaky ny maha-izy azy ireo sy hanohana ny fiovana izay azony ametrahana ny fahatokisany.”

Tourism is by far the biggest industry here on Aruba and the Americans (Thank You!) make up the largest percentage of tourists…so thanksgiving is still celebrated to some extent.

Ny fizahantany no orinasa mpampidibola indrindra eto Aruba ary ny Amerikana (Mankasitraka tompoko !) no mitana ny isanjato be indrindra amin’izany…noho izany dia ankalazaina ihany ny androm-pankasitrahana noho ny fivelarany.

Etsy ankilany, Puerto Rico, izay zaratany etazoniana (US), dia  manaja ny andro – ka manararaotra ny fotoana indrindra i Dondequiera manome ny lisitry ny zavatra vitsivitsy heveriny fa tokony hanehoan’ny Poertorikana fankasitrahana :

Give thanks that you live in a place with wonderful weather year round, with sandy beaches, blue water, and tropical breezes. It makes the rest bearable.

Give thanks that you live in a place where we have a “real” vote, the right to disagree with the Government, and to practice any religion (or not to practice) we see fit. Far too many people in the World have none of these rights.

Misaora ianareo izay mitoetra amin’ny toerana manana toetr’andro mahafinaritra mandavataona, anivon’ny torapasika amoron-dranomasina, rano mangamanga, ary tsio-drivotra mafana. Mahatonga ny zavatra hafa ho azo iainana tsara izany.

Misaora ianareo fa miaina amin'ny firenena afaka maneho tsara ny safidinareo, afaka manohitra ny governemanta, afaka manaraka na tsia fivavahana. Fa be dia be tokoa ny vahoaka tsy manana izany zo anananareo izany.

Babalu Blog indray moa dia resy lahatra fa « ny fanehoam-pankasitrahana angamba no tena porofo marina manambara ny mahaKiobana-Amerkana:

On the fourth Thursday of every November we have on our tables what we, as Cuban-Americans (or Americans of Cuban descent if you prefer), have in our daily lives: the best of both worlds.

Isaky ny Alakamisy fahaefatry ny volana Novambra no ahitana ny sakafo tsara indrindra avy amin’ny tontolo roa Kiobana Amerikana (ataovy hoe Amerikana izay Kiobana fihaviana raha izay no sitrakao) noho izay iainanay andavanandro.

Manoratra i Pwoje Espwa - Hope in Haiti :

It may sound a little strange to you all as you are gathered with family and friends on this Thanksgiving Day to hear that today is just another day here in southern Haiti. No parades, no televised football games, no huge table brimming with scrumptious food and turkey. That’s not to say that we are not grateful.

Mety ho hafahafa aminao izay mivory miaraka amin’ny fianakaviana sy ny namana ny mandre fa toy ny andro mandavataona tsotra ihany ny Adrom-pankasitrahana aty atsimon’i Haiti. Tsy misy matso, tsy misy lalao baolina mandeha amin’ny fahitalavitra, tsy ahitanao latabatra lehibe feno hanim-pitoloha sy vorontsiloza (mampiavaka indrindra ity fety ity). Izany tsy midika hoe tsy mahay mankasitraka izahay.

Mino i Belize-y Livin'  fa « tokony hankasitraka indrindra » izy, saingy tsy fetimbahoaka iraisana moa ity raharaha ity any Barbada, hoy i My Barbados Blog :

We are counting our blessings, taking a much deserved holiday break, and will be back blogging on Monday.

Eo ampanisana ny tso-drano sy ny fanomezana teny mamy izahay, dia manokana andro lavalava ialana sasatra, ary dia hiverina indray amin’ny alatsinainy hamaham-bolongana e !

Jamaican blogger Geoffrey Philp izay mpamaham-bolongana Jamaikana kosa dia nandika Tononkalo ho amin’ny Androm-pankasitrahana, rehefa nankalazaina taoriana indrindran’ny fifidianana tany Trinite sy Tobago ny Now Is Wow's “Thanksgiving”:

I went to the COP Thanksgiving rally at Helping Hands grounds in the Pasea area. It wasn't a jump and wave rally. It was an interfaith event, with various spiritual leaders (Muslim, Hindu, Christian, etc.) each saying a prayer and a few words…I was not moved to feel patriotic about T & T…but I was touched by the genuine sense of togetherness and respect of the people and by the sense of gratitude and determination emitted by those on stage. It was a peaceful, communal, ‘old time feel' of an evening.

Nankany amin’ny tokotanin’ny « Tolo-tanana » tao Pasea nisy ny fihaonan’ny mpifety ny Thanksgiving aho. Nanonja sy nampibitaka tokoa ny fihaonana. Fihaonambe niarahan’ny finoana samihafa no tao, nahitana ireo mpitari-pivavahana isankarazany ( Silamo, Haindo, Kristiana, sns) izay samy nivavaka fohy … Toa tsy tena mahatsiaro ny tenako ho tia tanindrazana loatra aho rehefa i Trinite sy Tobago no resahina… fa tena nanohina ahy kosa ny fiarahana sy ny fifanajana teo amin’ny olona ary ny fahazotoana sy ny fifanoloram-boninahitra teo amin’izay nandray anjara. Nilamina, niray aina ny rehetra, mampahatsiahy ny andro lasa ny takariva..

Ity angamba no faratampony tamin’izay soratry Dondequiera:

Give thanks to people who exhibit little acts of kindness. It has an interesting effect of rippling throughout society.

Misaora ireo izay naneho asa mahafaly ny hafa na dia kely fotsiny ihany aza. Mety hisy vokatsoa manerana ny fiarahamonina ihany manko izany.
