one year anniversary

On March 17, it will be a year since the coup d'etat in Madagascar that has left the country crippled socialy and economically. Although several attempts of reconciliation between parties took place, the current "government" refuses to cooperate. There is a continuting of ignoring the resolutions of Maputo. In fact, Madagascar has no legal government that is recognized by the world.
There has been a discussion that individual sanctions will take place if Rajoelina and his party would not negociate which is more reasonable than sanctioning the entire country that would affect the lives of millions of innocent people. Since the coup of Marc 17 last year, many illegal practises have taken place in Madagascar. These include violation of human rights, trafficking of the precious rosewood, robbing of national parks, and most recently the grabbing of crude sand oil resources by TOTAL in the country.

Madagascar has also been a victim of the tropical storm Hubert that has killed 36 people and left several thousands homeless last week. With an unstable government with no budget, victims of natural disaster will likely receive very limited support.
