Not a good look for #Madagascar. #tbh, so called #political rallies had been reigned in for years, as they required strict government approval never granted. A straightout ban is only the logical next step. I expect more to happen on muzzling #journalists, restricting #freedomofpress # ensuring the #malagasy #diaspora is excluded from the #electionsMG. https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2023/4/3/madagascar-bans-public-protests-ahead-of-presidential-election

And #Madagascar's #corruption score remains unchanged, languishing at the bottom of the league in 142th place out of 180 countries, in the year of #presidentialelections. So it seems #Rajoelina, who's seeking re-election, doesn't believe that #kolykoly (the great #Malagasy word for corruption) and a presidential mandate are incompatible. @transparency #MG does great work to awaken #politicalconsciousness, 👉🏽 https://www.transparency.org/en/news/youth-day-protesting-fearlessly-madagascar

So the only reason I have never closed my #Facebook and now my #Twitter account is basically: 🇲🇬 #Madagascar! If only the #malagasy community could move that little bit faster sometimes 😂 #moramora

@danielgwood I was hoping to see my first posts in #malagasy and even better, translation! Still need to find a guide about which languages are translated on which server (and version rolled out). PS: I was in Fort Dauphin early Feb this year, to meet Tsina.
#edit button on mastodon.green, that's pretty much all people ever talk about! I am interested in language support and need to pull in the #Malagasy crew in :abunhdhappyhop: ! Release details here https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/releases/tag/v4.0.0. Much love to Johan our #admin!
#Concert #Rock #Malagasy #TheDizzyBrains
J'étais présent au concert du groupe de rock malgache "The Dizzy Brains" au Petit Bain dans le 13e arrondissement de Paris.
Grosse ambiance et public bouillant, les quatres rockers ont donné tout ce qu'ils avaient, parlé de la famine, de la pédo-prostitution et de l'inaction des politiciens qui enchaine le peuple malgache à la misère et l'exploitation.
À découvrir absolument:
