Ten years ago exactly,

2000
Ara fa exactament 10 anys,
00:17
I was in Afghanistan.
1
2000
2000
em trobava a Afganistan.
00:19
I was covering the war in Afghanistan,
2
4000
4000
Vaig cobrir la guerra d'Afganistan
00:23
and I witnessed, as a reporter for Al Jazeera,
3
8000
3000
i vaig presenciar, com a enviat d'Al Jazeera,
00:26
the amount of suffering and destruction
4
11000
3000
el gran patiment i destrucció
00:29
that emerged out of a war like that.
5
14000
3000
que va generar una guerra com aquella.
00:32
Then, two years later,
6
17000
2000
Dos anys més tard,
00:34
I covered another war -- the war in Iraq.
7
19000
2000
vaig cobrir una altra guerra, la guerra d'Iraq.
00:36
I was placed at the center of that war
8
21000
3000
Estava situat en plena guerra
00:39
because I was covering the war
9
24000
2000
perquè cobria la guerra
00:41
from the northern part of Iraq.
10
26000
3000
des del nord d'Iraq.
00:44
And the war ended
11
29000
2000
I la guerra es va acabar
00:46
with a regime change,
12
31000
2000
amb un canvi de règim,
00:48
like the one in Afghanistan.
13
33000
2000
igual que a Afganistan.
00:50
And that regime
14
35000
2000
I aquell règim
00:52
that we got rid of
15
37000
2000
de què ens vam deslliurar
00:54
was actually a dictatorship,
16
39000
3000
era una autèntica dictadura,
00:57
an authoritarian regime,
17
42000
2000
un règim autoritari,
00:59
that for decades
18
44000
3000
que durant dècades
01:02
created a great sense of paralysis
19
47000
4000
havia creat un sentiment de paràlisi
01:06
within the nation, within the people themselves.
20
51000
3000
a la nació, entre la mateixa gent.
01:09
However,
21
54000
2000
Tanmateix,
01:11
the change that came through foreign intervention
22
56000
2000
el canvi que va sortir de la intervenció estrangera
01:13
created even worse circumstances for the people
23
58000
3000
va crear circumstàncies encara pitjors per a la gent
01:16
and deepened the sense
24
61000
2000
i va fer més profund el sentiment
01:18
of paralysis and inferiority
25
63000
2000
de paràlisi i inferioritat
01:20
in that part of the world.
26
65000
2000
en aquella part del món.
01:22
For decades,
27
67000
2000
Durant dècades
01:24
we have lived under authoritarian regimes --
28
69000
3000
hem viscut sota règims autoritaris
01:27
in the Arab world, in the Middle East.
29
72000
3000
al món àrab, a l'Orient Mitjà.
01:30
These regimes
30
75000
2000
Aquests règims
01:32
created something within us during this period.
31
77000
3000
han creat quelcom a dins nostre en aquest temps.
01:35
I'm 43 years old right now.
32
80000
2000
Ara mateix tinc 43 anys.
01:37
For the last 40 years,
33
82000
2000
Els darrers 40 anys,
01:39
I have seen almost the same faces
34
84000
2000
he vist gairebé les mateixes cares
01:41
for kings and presidents ruling us --
35
86000
4000
de reis i presidents que ens governen
01:45
old, aged, authoritarian,
36
90000
4000
(vells, envellits, autoritaris,
01:49
corrupt situations --
37
94000
2000
situacions corruptes)
01:51
regimes that we have seen around us.
38
96000
3000
els règims que hem vist al nostre voltant.
01:54
And for a moment I was wondering,
39
99000
3000
I per un moment em preguntava,
01:57
are we going to live in order to see
40
102000
2000
si arribaríem a veure
01:59
real change happening on the ground,
41
104000
3000
un canvi real sobre el terreny,
02:02
a change that does not come through foreign intervention,
42
107000
3000
un canvi que no passi per la intervenció estrangera
02:05
through the misery of occupation,
43
110000
3000
per la misèria de l'ocupació,
02:08
through nations invading our land
44
113000
3000
per nacions que ens envaeixin la terra
02:11
and deepening the sense of inferiority sometimes?
45
116000
4000
i per reforçar-nos aquest sentiment d'inferioritat.
02:15
The Iraqis: yes, they got rid of Saddam Hussein,
46
120000
3000
Els iraquians, sí, es van deslliurar de Saddam Hussein,
02:18
but when they saw
47
123000
2000
però quan van veure
02:20
their land occupied by foreign forces
48
125000
3000
el seu país ocupat per forces estrangeres
02:23
they felt very sad,
49
128000
2000
es van sentir molt tristos,
02:25
they felt that their dignity had suffered.
50
130000
3000
sentien que la seva dignitat havia sofert.
02:28
And this is why they revolted.
51
133000
2000
I per això es van revoltar.
02:30
This is why they did not accept.
52
135000
3000
Per això no van acceptar.
02:33
And actually other regimes, they told their citizens,
53
138000
3000
I de fet altres règims van dir als seus ciutadans:
02:36
"Would you like to see the situation of Iraq?
54
141000
3000
"Voleu una situació com la d'Iraq?
02:39
Would you like to see civil war, sectarian killing?
55
144000
3000
Voleu veure una guerra civil, assassinats sectaris?
02:42
Would you like to see destruction?
56
147000
2000
Voleu veure destrucció?
02:44
Would you like to see foreign troops on your land?"
57
149000
3000
Voleu veure tropes estrangeres a la vostra terra?"
02:47
And the people thought for themselves,
58
152000
2000
I la gent es deia:
02:49
"Maybe we should live with
59
154000
2000
"Potser hauríem de conviure amb
02:51
this kind of authoritarian situation that we find ourselves in,
60
156000
3000
aquesta situació autoritària en què ens trobem,
02:54
instead of having the second scenario."
61
159000
3000
per no caure en la segona opció."
02:58
That was one of the worst nightmares that we have seen.
62
163000
3000
Va ser un dels pitjors malsons que hem viscut.
03:01
For 10 years,
63
166000
2000
Durant 10 anys,
03:03
unfortunately we have found ourselves
64
168000
2000
per desgràcia ens hem vist
03:05
reporting images of destruction,
65
170000
3000
retransmetent imatges de destrucció,
03:08
images of killing,
66
173000
2000
imatges de morts,
03:10
of sectarian conflicts,
67
175000
2000
de conflictes sectaris,
03:12
images of violence,
68
177000
2000
imatges de violència,
03:14
emerging from a magnificent piece of land,
69
179000
3000
sortides d'una terra magnífica,
03:17
a region that one day was the source
70
182000
2000
una regió que fa temps va ser origen
03:19
of civilizations and art and culture
71
184000
3000
de civilitzacions i d'art i de cultura
03:22
for thousands of years.
72
187000
3000
durant milenis.
03:25
Now I am here to tell you
73
190000
3000
Ara he vingut a dir-vos
03:28
that the future
74
193000
2000
que el futur
03:30
that we were dreaming for
75
195000
2000
que somiàvem
03:32
has eventually arrived.
76
197000
3000
per fi ha arribat.
03:36
A new generation,
77
201000
2000
Una nova generació,
03:38
well-educated,
78
203000
2000
ben formats,
03:40
connected,
79
205000
2000
connectats,
03:42
inspired by universal values
80
207000
4000
inspirats per valors universals
03:46
and a global understanding,
81
211000
3000
i una concepció global
03:49
has created a new reality for us.
82
214000
4000
ens ha creat una nova realitat.
03:53
We have found a new way
83
218000
3000
Hem trobat una manera nova
03:56
to express our feelings
84
221000
3000
d'expressar el que sentim
03:59
and to express our dreams:
85
224000
3000
i d'expressar el que somiem.
04:02
these young people
86
227000
2000
Aquesta gent jove
04:04
who have restored self-confidence
87
229000
2000
que ha fet recuperar la confiança
04:06
in our nations in that part of the world,
88
231000
3000
en les nostres nacions d'aquella part del món,
04:09
who have given us
89
234000
2000
que ens han donat
04:11
new meaning for freedom
90
236000
3000
un sentit nou de llibertat
04:14
and empowered us to go down to the streets.
91
239000
3000
i ens han donat força per sortir al carrer.
04:17
Nothing happened. No violence. Nothing.
92
242000
2000
No ha passat res. Res de violència. Res.
04:19
Just step out of your house,
93
244000
2000
Només cal sortir de casa,
04:21
raise your voice
94
246000
2000
alçar la veu
04:23
and say, "We would like to see the end of the regime."
95
248000
4000
i dir: "Volem veure la fi del règim"
04:27
This is what happened in Tunisia.
96
252000
2000
Això és el que va passar a Tunísia.
04:29
Over a few days,
97
254000
2000
En qüestió de dies,
04:31
the Tunisian regime that invested billions of dollars
98
256000
3000
el règim tunisià, que invertia milers de milions de dòlars
04:34
in the security agencies,
99
259000
2000
en agències de seguretat,
04:36
billions of dollars
100
261000
2000
milers de milions de dòlars
04:38
in maintaining, trying to maintain,
101
263000
2000
per mantenir, o intentar mantenir,
04:40
its prisons,
102
265000
2000
les presons,
04:42
collapsed, disappeared,
103
267000
2000
va caure, va desaparèixer,
04:44
because of the voices of the public.
104
269000
3000
gràcies a la veu de la gent.
04:47
People who were inspired to go down to the streets
105
272000
2000
Les persones que es van inspirar per sortir al carrer
04:49
and to raise their voices,
106
274000
2000
i alçar la veu,
04:51
they tried to kill.
107
276000
2000
els van intentar assassinar.
04:53
The intelligence agencies wanted to arrest people.
108
278000
3000
Les agències d'intel·ligència volien fer detencions.
04:56
They found something called Facebook.
109
281000
3000
Es van trobar amb una cosa que es diu Facebook.
04:59
They found something called Twitter.
110
284000
2000
Amb una cosa que es diu Twitter.
05:01
They were surprised by all of these kinds of issues.
111
286000
2000
Aquestes coses els van sorprendre.
05:03
And they said,
112
288000
2000
I deien:
05:05
"These kids are misled."
113
290000
3000
"Aquests vailets van mal encaminats."
05:08
Therefore, they asked their parents
114
293000
2000
Així doncs, demanaven als pares
05:10
to go down to the streets
115
295000
2000
que sortissin al carrer
05:12
and collect them, bring them back home.
116
297000
2000
i els fessin tornar a casa.
05:14
This is what they were telling. This is their propaganda.
117
299000
2000
Això és el que ens deien. És la seva propaganda.
05:16
"Bring these kids home
118
301000
2000
"Emporteu-vos els nois a casa,
05:18
because they are misled."
119
303000
2000
perquè van mal encaminats."
05:20
But yes,
120
305000
2000
Però sí,
05:22
these youth
121
307000
2000
aquesta joventut
05:24
who have been inspired
122
309000
2000
que s'ha inspirat
05:26
by universal values,
123
311000
2000
en valors universals,
05:28
who are idealistic enough
124
313000
2000
que són prou optimistes
05:30
to imagine a magnificent future
125
315000
2000
per imaginar un futur magnífic
05:32
and, at the same time, realistic enough
126
317000
3000
i, alhora, són prou realistes
05:35
to balance this kind of imagination
127
320000
3000
per equilibrar la seva imaginació
05:38
and the process leading to it --
128
323000
3000
i el procés que caldrà fer,
05:41
not using violence,
129
326000
2000
sense violència,
05:43
not trying to create chaos --
130
328000
2000
sense intentar sembrar el caos.
05:45
these young people,
131
330000
2000
Aquesta joventut
05:47
they did not go home.
132
332000
2000
no se'n van tornar a casa.
05:49
Parents actually went to the streets
133
334000
2000
Els pares van sortir al carrer
05:51
and they supported them.
134
336000
2000
i els van donar suport.
05:53
And this is how the revolution was born in Tunisia.
135
338000
3000
I així va néixer la revolució de Tunísia.
05:56
We in Al Jazeera
136
341000
2000
Els d'Al Jazeera
05:58
were banned from Tunisia for years,
137
343000
3000
hem estat prohibits a Tunísia durant anys,
06:01
and the government did not allow
138
346000
2000
i el govern no autoritzava
06:03
any Al Jazeera reporter to be there.
139
348000
2000
la presència de cap enviat d'Al Jazeera.
06:05
But we found that these people in the street,
140
350000
3000
Però hem vist que la gent del carrer,
06:08
all of them are our reporters,
141
353000
2000
tots ells són reporters nostres,
06:10
feeding our newsroom
142
355000
2000
ens envien a la redacció
06:12
with pictures, with videos
143
357000
2000
fotografies, vídeos
06:14
and with news.
144
359000
2000
i notícies.
06:16
And suddenly that newsroom in Doha
145
361000
3000
De sobte, la redacció de Doha
06:19
became a center
146
364000
2000
va esdevenir un centre
06:21
that received all this kind of input from ordinary people --
147
366000
3000
que rebia tota mena d'informacions de gent normal,
06:24
people who are connected and people who have ambition
148
369000
3000
de gent que està connectada i que té ambicions
06:27
and who have liberated themselves
149
372000
2000
i que s'han alliberat per sí mateixos
06:29
from the feeling of inferiority.
150
374000
2000
del complex d'inferioritat.
06:31
And then we took that decision:
151
376000
3000
I llavors vam prendre la decisió:
06:34
We are unrolling the news.
152
379000
2000
Emetrem les notícies.
06:36
We are going to be the voice for these voiceless people.
153
381000
3000
Serem la veu d'aquest poble sense veu.
06:39
We are going to spread the message.
154
384000
2000
Difondrem el missatge.
06:41
Yes, some of these young people
155
386000
2000
Sí, alguns d'aquests joves
06:43
are connected to the Internet,
156
388000
2000
estan connectats a internet,
06:45
but the connectivity in the Arab world
157
390000
2000
però la connectivitat al món àrab
06:47
is very little, is very small,
158
392000
2000
es molt petita, molt escassa,
06:49
because of many problems that we are suffering from.
159
394000
3000
a causa dels molts problemes que patim.
06:52
But Al Jazeera took the voice from these people
160
397000
3000
Però Al Jazeera va prendre la veu d'aquesta gent
06:55
and we amplified [it].
161
400000
2000
i la vam amplificar.
06:57
We put it in every sitting room in the Arab world --
162
402000
3000
La vam portar a totes les sales d'estar del món àrab,
07:00
and internationally, globally,
163
405000
2000
i internacionalment, globalment,
07:02
through our English channel.
164
407000
2000
a través del nostre canal en anglès.
07:04
And then people started to feel
165
409000
3000
I la gent va començar a sentir
07:07
that there's something new happening.
166
412000
3000
que estava passant una cosa nova.
07:10
And then Zine al-Abidine Ben Ali
167
415000
3000
I llavors Zine El Abidine Ben Ali
07:13
decided to leave.
168
418000
2000
va decidir marxar.
07:15
And then Egypt started,
169
420000
2000
I llavors va començar Egipte,
07:17
and Hosni Mubarak decided to leave.
170
422000
2000
i Hosni Mubarak va decidir marxar.
07:19
And now Libya as you see it.
171
424000
2000
I ara, com veieu, Líbia.
07:21
And then you have Yemen.
172
426000
2000
I després ve Iemen.
07:23
And you have many other countries trying to see
173
428000
2000
I hi ha molts més països que intenten veure
07:25
and to rediscover that feeling
174
430000
3000
i redescobrir el sentiment
07:28
of, "How do we imagine a future
175
433000
2000
de "com ens imaginem un futur
07:30
which is magnificent and peaceful and tolerant?"
176
435000
3000
que sigui pròsper, pacífic i tolerant?"
07:33
I want to tell you something,
177
438000
3000
Vull dir-vos una cosa:
07:36
that the Internet and connectivity
178
441000
4000
que internet i la connectivitat
07:40
has created [a] new mindset.
179
445000
3000
han creat una mentalitat nova.
07:43
But this mindset
180
448000
2000
Però aquesta mentalitat
07:45
has continued to be faithful
181
450000
2000
ha continuat sent fidel
07:47
to the soil and to the land
182
452000
2000
a la terra i al país
07:49
that it emerged from.
183
454000
3000
d'on ha sortit.
07:52
And while this was the major difference
184
457000
3000
Tot i que aquesta és la principal diferència
07:55
between many initiatives before
185
460000
3000
entre moltes iniciatives anteriors
07:58
to create change,
186
463000
2000
de canvis,
08:00
before we thought, and governments told us --
187
465000
2000
abans pensàvem, i els governs ens deien,
08:02
and even sometimes it was true --
188
467000
3000
(de vegades fins i tot era cert)
08:05
that change was imposed on us,
189
470000
3000
que el canvi ens venia imposat,
08:08
and people rejected that,
190
473000
2000
i la gent el rebutjava,
08:10
because they thought that it is alien to their culture.
191
475000
3000
perquè pensaven que era aliè a la seva cultura,
08:13
Always, we believed
192
478000
3000
sempre havíem cregut
08:16
that change will spring from within,
193
481000
3000
que el canvi sorgiria des de dins,
08:19
that change should be a reconciliation
194
484000
4000
que el canvi s'havia de reconciliar
08:23
with culture, cultural diversity,
195
488000
3000
amb la cultura, la diversitat cultural,
08:26
with our faith in our tradition
196
491000
2000
la nostra fe en la nostra tradició
08:28
and in our history,
197
493000
2000
i en la nostra història,
08:30
but at the same time,
198
495000
2000
però, a la vegada,
08:32
open to universal values, connected with the world,
199
497000
3000
estar oberts a valors universals, connectats amb el món,
08:35
tolerant to the outside.
200
500000
2000
tolerants amb l'exterior.
08:37
And this is the moment
201
502000
2000
I aquest és el moment
08:39
that is happening right now in the Arab world.
202
504000
2000
que es viu ara mateix al món àrab.
08:41
This is the right moment, and this is the actual moment
203
506000
3000
Aquest és el moment actual i el moment real
08:44
that we see all of these meanings meet together
204
509000
2000
en què veiem que tots aquests sentits s'ajunten
08:46
and then create the beginning
205
511000
2000
per donar lloc al començament
08:48
of this magnificent era
206
513000
2000
d'aquesta era magnífica
08:50
that will emerge from the region.
207
515000
3000
que sorgirà de la regió.
08:54
How did the elite deal with that --
208
519000
2000
Com ho gestionen les elits,
08:56
the so-called political elite?
209
521000
3000
les anomenades elits polítiques?
08:59
In front of Facebook,
210
524000
3000
Contra Facebook,
09:02
they brought the camels in Tahrir Square.
211
527000
3000
van treure els camells a la Plaça Tahrir.
09:05
In front of Al Jazeera,
212
530000
2000
Contra Al Jazeera,
09:07
they started creating tribalism.
213
532000
4000
van començar a crear tribalisme.
09:11
And then when they failed,
214
536000
2000
I quan van fracassar,
09:13
they started speaking about conspiracies
215
538000
3000
van començar a parlar de conspiracions
09:16
that emerged from Tel Aviv and Washington
216
541000
3000
que sortien de Tel Aviv
09:19
in order to divide the Arab world.
217
544000
3000
per dividir el món àrab.
09:22
They started telling the West,
218
547000
2000
Van començar a advertir Occident:
09:24
"Be aware of Al-Qaeda.
219
549000
2000
"Vigileu amb Al-Qaida.
09:26
Al-Qaeda is taking over our territories.
220
551000
2000
Al-Qaida s'està fent forta als nostres territoris."
09:28
These are Islamists
221
553000
2000
"Hi ha islamistes
09:30
trying to create new Imaras.
222
555000
2000
que pretenen fundar més emirats."
09:32
Be aware of these people
223
557000
2000
"Compte amb aquesta gent
09:34
who [are] coming to you
224
559000
3000
que us vindran
09:37
in order to ruin your great civilization."
225
562000
3000
a destruir la vostra gran civilització."
09:40
Fortunately,
226
565000
3000
Per sort,
09:43
people right now cannot be deceived.
227
568000
2000
ara mateix la gent no es deixa enganyar.
09:45
Because this corrupt elite
228
570000
3000
Perquè aquesta elit corrupta
09:48
in that region
229
573000
2000
d'aquella regió
09:50
has lost even the power of deception.
230
575000
4000
ha perdut fins i tot la capacitat d'enganyar.
09:54
They could not, and they cannot, imagine
231
579000
2000
No podien, i no poden, imaginar-se
09:56
how they could really deal with this reality.
232
581000
3000
la manera de gestionar aquesta realitat.
09:59
They have lost.
233
584000
2000
Han perdut,
10:01
They have been detached
234
586000
2000
se'ls ha separat
10:03
from their people, from the masses,
235
588000
3000
del seu poble, de les masses,
10:06
and now we are seeing them collapsing
236
591000
3000
i ara veiem com cauen
10:09
one after the other.
237
594000
2000
l'un darrere l'altre.
10:12
Al Jazeera is not
238
597000
3000
Al Jazeera no és
10:15
a tool of revolution.
239
600000
2000
una eina revolucionària.
10:17
We do not create revolutions.
240
602000
2000
Nosaltres no fem revolucions.
10:19
However,
241
604000
2000
Tanmateix,
10:21
when something of that magnitude happens,
242
606000
3000
quan passa una cosa d'aquesta magnitud,
10:24
we are at the center of the coverage.
243
609000
3000
estem al centre de les retransmissons.
10:27
We were banned from Egypt,
244
612000
2000
Ens van censurar a Egipte,
10:29
and our correspondents,
245
614000
2000
i els nostres corresponsals,
10:31
some of them were arrested.
246
616000
3000
alguns van ser detinguts.
10:34
But most of our camera people
247
619000
3000
Però la majoria dels nostres càmeres
10:37
and our journalists,
248
622000
2000
i dels nostres periodistes
10:39
they went underground in Egypt -- voluntarily --
249
624000
3000
van continuar a Egipte encoberts (voluntàriament)
10:42
to report what happened in Tahrir Square.
250
627000
3000
per transmetre el que passava a la plaça Tahrir.
10:45
For 18 days,
251
630000
2000
Al llarg de 18 dies,
10:47
our cameras were broadcasting, live,
252
632000
3000
les nostres càmeres van retransmetre en directe
10:50
the voices of the people in Tahrir Square.
253
635000
3000
la veu de la gent de la plaça Tahrir.
10:53
I remember one night
254
638000
2000
Recordo que una nit
10:55
when someone phoned me on my cellphone --
255
640000
2000
em van trucar al mòbil--
10:57
ordinary person who I don't know -- from Tahrir Square.
256
642000
2000
una persona anònima-- des de la plaça Tahrir.
10:59
He told me, "We appeal to you
257
644000
2000
Em va dir: "Us demanem
11:01
not to switch off the cameras.
258
646000
2000
que no apagueu les càmeres.
11:03
If you switch off the cameras tonight,
259
648000
2000
Si aquesta nit apagueu les càmeres,
11:05
there will be a genocide.
260
650000
2000
hi haurà un genocidi.
11:07
You are protecting us
261
652000
2000
Ens esteu protegint
11:09
by showing what is happening at Tahrir Square."
262
654000
3000
mostrant el que passa a la plaça Tahrir."
11:12
I felt the responsibility
263
657000
2000
Vaig sentir la responsabilitat
11:14
to phone our correspondents there
264
659000
2000
de trucar els nostres corresponsals
11:16
and to phone our newsroom
265
661000
2000
i la nostra redacció
11:18
and to tell them, "Make your best
266
663000
2000
per dir-los: "Feu el que pugueu
11:20
not to switch off the cameras at night,
267
665000
2000
per no apagar les càmeres a la nit,
11:22
because the guys there really feel confident
268
667000
3000
perquè la gent se sent més tranquil·la
11:25
when someone is reporting their story --
269
670000
2000
quan hi ha algú explicant la notícia,
11:27
and they feel protected as well."
270
672000
3000
i també se senten protegits."
11:30
So we have a chance
271
675000
3000
Així doncs, tenim l'oportunitat
11:33
to create a new future
272
678000
2000
de crear un nou futur
11:35
in that part of the world.
273
680000
2000
en aquella part del món.
11:37
We have a chance
274
682000
3000
Tenim l'oportunitat
11:40
to go and to think of the future
275
685000
3000
de pensar en el futur
11:43
as something which is open to the world.
276
688000
3000
com quelcom d'obert al món.
11:46
Let us not repeat the mistake of Iran,
277
691000
3000
No repetim l'error d'Iran,
11:49
of [the] Mosaddeq revolution.
278
694000
2000
la revolució Misdaq.
11:51
Let us free ourselves -- especially in the West --
279
696000
3000
Alliberem-nos, especialment a Occident,
11:54
from thinking about that part of the world
280
699000
2000
de pensar en aquella part del món
11:56
based on oil interest,
281
701000
3000
segons els interessos del petroli,
11:59
or based on interests
282
704000
3000
o segons interessos
12:02
of the illusion of stability and security.
283
707000
3000
de la suposada estabilitat i seguretat.
12:05
The stability and security
284
710000
3000
L'estabilitat i seguretat
12:08
of authoritarian regimes
285
713000
3000
dels règims autoritaris
12:11
cannot create
286
716000
2000
no pot generar
12:13
but terrorism and violence and destruction.
287
718000
2000
sinó terrorisme, violència i destrucció.
12:15
Let us accept the choice of the people.
288
720000
3000
Acceptem l'elecció de la gent.
12:18
Let us not pick and choose
289
723000
2000
No escollim nosaltres
12:20
who we would like to rule their future.
290
725000
3000
qui volem que dirigeixi el seu futur.
12:23
The future should be ruled
291
728000
2000
El futur l'ha de dictaminar
12:25
by people themselves,
292
730000
2000
el poble mateix,
12:27
even sometimes if they are voices
293
732000
2000
encara que de vegades hi hagi veus
12:29
that might now scare us.
294
734000
2000
que ens puguin fer por.
12:31
But the values of democracy
295
736000
3000
Però els valors de la democràcia
12:34
and the freedom of choice
296
739000
2000
i la llibertat d'elecció
12:36
that is sweeping the Middle East at this moment in time
297
741000
3000
que escombren l'Orient Mitjà en aquest moment de la història
12:39
is the best opportunity for the world,
298
744000
2000
són la millor oportunitat que té el món,
12:41
for the West and the East,
299
746000
2000
tan Occident com Orient,
12:43
to see stability and to see security
300
748000
3000
de veure estabilitat i de veure seguretat
12:46
and to see friendship and to see tolerance
301
751000
3000
i de veure amistat i de veure tolerància
12:49
emerging from the Arab world,
302
754000
2000
des del món àrab,
12:51
rather than the images of violence and terrorism.
303
756000
3000
en comptes d'imatges de violència i terrorisme.
12:54
Let us support these people.
304
759000
2000
Ajudem aquesta gent.
12:56
Let us stand for them.
305
761000
2000
Donem-los suport.
12:58
And let us give up
306
763000
2000
I deixem de banda
13:00
our narrow selfishness
307
765000
3000
el nostre egoisme tancat
13:03
in order to embrace change,
308
768000
2000
per adoptar el canvi,
13:05
and in order to celebrate with the people of that region
309
770000
3000
i per celebrar amb la gent de la regió
13:08
a great future
310
773000
2000
un gran futur,
13:10
and hope and tolerance.
311
775000
3000
i esperança i tolerància.
13:13
The future has arrived,
312
778000
2000
El futur ha arribat,
13:15
and the future is now.
313
780000
2000
i el futur és ara.
13:17
I thank you very much.
314
782000
2000
Moltes gràcies.
13:19
(Applause)
315
784000
13000
(Aplaudiments)
13:32
Thank you very much.
316
797000
2000
Moltes gràcies.
13:34
(Applause)
317
799000
5000
(Aplaudiments)
13:39
Chris Anderson: I just have a couple of questions for you.
318
804000
2000
Chris Anderson: Només un parell de preguntes per a vostè.
13:41
Thank you for coming here.
319
806000
2000
Gràcies per venir.
13:43
How would you characterize the historical significance
320
808000
2000
Com valoraria la importància històrica
13:45
of what's happened?
321
810000
2000
del que ha passat?
13:47
Is this a story-of-the-year, a story-of-the-decade
322
812000
3000
És la notícia de l'any, la notícia de la dècada,
13:50
or something more?
323
815000
2000
o quelcom més?
13:52
Wadah Khanfar: Actually, this may be the biggest story that we have ever covered.
324
817000
3000
Wadah Khanfar: De fet, potser és la notícia més important que hàgim donat mai.
13:55
We have covered many wars.
325
820000
2000
Hem cobert moltes guerres.
13:57
We have covered a lot of tragedies, a lot of problems,
326
822000
2000
Hem cobert moltes tragèdies, molts problemes,
13:59
a lot of conflict zones, a lot of hot spots in the region,
327
824000
3000
moltes zones en conflicte, molts punts calents de la regió,
14:02
because we were centered at the middle of it.
328
827000
2000
perquè estàvem centrats en plena zona.
14:04
But this is a story -- it is a great story; it is beautiful.
329

Però aquesta notícia és una gran notícia, és preciós.
14:08
It is not something that you only cover
330
833000
3000
No és una cosa que cobreixes i prou
14:11
because you have to cover a great incident.
331
836000
3000
perquè cal cobrir un gran incident.
14:14
You are witnessing change in history.
332
839000
3000
Ets testimoni d'un canvi a la història.
14:17
You are witnessing the birth of a new era.
333
842000
3000
Ets testimoni del naixement d'una nova era.
14:20
And this is what the story's all about.
334
845000
2000
I aquesta és la importància de la notícia.
14:22
CA: There are a lot of people in the West
335
847000
2000
CA: Hi ha molta gent a Occident
14:24
who are still skeptical,
336
849000
2000
que són escèptics,
14:26
or think this may just be an intermediate stage
337
851000
3000
o que pensen que es tracta només d'una fase intermèdia
14:29
before much more alarming chaos.
338
854000
3000
abans d'un caos molt més alarmant.
14:32
You really believe
339
857000
2000
Realment creu
14:34
that if there are democratic elections in Egypt now,
340
859000
3000
que si ara hi ha eleccions democràtiques a Egipte,
14:37
that a government could emerge
341
862000
2000
en pot sorgir un govern
14:39
that espouses some of the values you've spoken about so inspiringly?
342
864000
3000
que abraci alguns dels valors de què acaba de parlar de manera tan inspiradora?
14:42
WK: And people actually,
343
867000
2000
WK: De fet, la gent
14:44
after the collapse of the Hosni Mubarak regime,
344
869000
3000
després de caure el règim de Hosni Mubarak,
14:47
the youth who have organized themselves
345
872000
2000
la joventut s'ha organitzat
14:49
in certain groups and councils,
346
874000
3000
en determinats grups i consells
14:52
they are guarding the transformation
347
877000
3000
que supervisen la transformació
14:55
and they are trying to put it on a track
348
880000
2000
i intenten encarrilar-la
14:57
in order to satisfy
349
882000
2000
per tal de satisfer
14:59
the values of democracy,
350
884000
2000
els valors democràtics,
15:01
but at the same time
351
886000
2000
però a la vegada
15:03
also to make it reasonable
352
888000
2000
també perquè sigui enraonada
15:05
and to make it rational,
353
890000
2000
i que sigui racional,
15:07
not to go out of order.
354
892000
3000
perquè no sigui desordenada.
15:10
In my opinion, these people are much more wiser
355
895000
3000
Segons la meva opinió, aquesta gent és més sàvia
15:13
than, not only the political elite,
356
898000
2000
no només que l'elit política,
15:15
even the intellectual elite, even opposition leaders
357
900000
3000
sinó fins i tot que l'elit intel·lectual i que els líders de l'oposició,
15:18
including political parties.
358
903000
2000
inclosos els partits polítics.
15:20
At this moment in time, the youth in the Arab world
359
905000
3000
En aquest moment, la joventut del món àrab
15:23
are much more wiser
360
908000
2000
es molt més sàvia
15:25
and capable of creating the change
361
910000
2000
i capaç de portar el canvi
15:27
than the old --
362
912000
2000
que no pas els adults,
15:29
including the political and cultural
363
914000
2000
inclosos els polítics, la cultura,
15:31
and ideological
364
916000
2000
i la ideologia
15:33
old regimes.
365
918000
2000
dels antics règims.
15:35
(Applause)
366
920000
3000
(Aplaudiments)
15:38
CA: We are not to get involved politically and interfere in that way.
367
923000
3000
CA: No ens implicarem políticament ni interferirem en aquest sentit.
15:41
What should people here at TED,
368
926000
3000
Què ha de fer la gent de TED,
15:44
here in the West,
369
929000
2000
aquí a Occident,
15:46
do if they want to connect or make a difference
370
931000
3000
si volen connectar o fer alguna cosa
15:49
and they believe in what's happening here?
371
934000
2000
i si creuen en el que està passant?
15:51
WK: I think we have discovered a very important issue in the Arab world --
372
936000
2000
WK: Crec que hem descobert un tema molt important al món àrab:
15:53
that people care,
373
938000
2000
que la gent es preocupa,
15:55
people care about this great transformation.
374
940000
3000
que a la gent li importa aquesta gran transformació.

380
957000
2000
La meitat vénen dels Estats Units.
16:14
Because we discovered that people care,
381
959000
2000
Com que hem descobert que a la gent li importa,
16:16
and people would like to know --
382

16:18
they are receiving the stream through our Internet.

Unfortunately in the United States,
384

2000
Per desgràcia, als Estats Units
16:23
we are not covering but Washington D.C. at this moment in time
385
968000
3000
només informem des de Washington ara mateix,
16:26
for Al Jazeera English.
386
971000
2000
per a Al Jazeera en anglès.
16:28
But I can tell you, this is the moment to celebrate
387
973000
3000
Però us dic que és moment de celebrar
16:31
through connecting ourselves
388

2000

389
978000

of supporting the weak and the oppressed
392
987000
3000
de donar suport als dèbils i als oprimits
16:45
to create a much better future for all of us.

ABOUT THE SPEAKER
Wadah Khanfar - JournalistAs the Director General of Al Jazeera from 2003-2011, Wadah Khanfar worked to bring rare liberties like information, transparency and dissenting voices to repressive states and political hot zones.
Why you should listen
From war correspondent to Baghdad bureau chief to Director General from 2003 until he stepped down in 2011, Wadah Khanfar worked through the closure and bombing of Al Jazeera's bureaus, the torture and murder of its journalists and state propaganda smears. Al Jazeera's approach to journalism emphasizes "re-thinking authority, giving a voice to the voiceless," Khanfar said in an interview with TIME.
No news network has attracted as much controversy as Al Jazeera. Khanfar, in turn, became the lightning rod for dispute on the organization's place in politics, both in its home region and abroad. (In the West, editorials have accused him of sympathizing with terrorists; in his own region, of fanning instability.)
