Life is back to normal but things aren't fixed

From communicating with my family and other friends who were or are still in Madagascar since the crisis. They all said that life is back to normal but things aren't fixed. It seems like the Madagascar crisis has disappeared from the front pages of national journal, but that doesn't mean everything is resolved. Something I learned throughout the years (maybe because it's in my blood) that we are resilient people. We know how to endure hard life and somehow, it keeps us safe that way.
From my source, people don't speak out anymore because they fear to be arrested. So why bother, "izay mangina volamena" like the saying of our wise ancestors. It means keeping quiet is what makes you gold. Journalists who are the voice of the people have been victims of this. They have to be quiet or they will loose their career and their families will be affected.
I read on Golbal Voices Online an article revealing an interview of a few journalists. They speak about their challenges and their battle. I wonder when we will master the meaning of freedom of speech. It's ironic that one of the main reasons why the previous administration was banned is because they were accused of being non-democratic. Now, the current administration is not letting people to voice out their opininions. Déja-vu! it's the story repeating over and over.
