Green party

Madagascar gets a green party: Hasin’i Madagasikara (website). According to an article on Courrier International, the party has the goal of promoting sustainable development in the country. The leader of the new party interviewed by the newspaper highlights the importance of making land legally accessible for the Malagasy, and the central role of water that should not be privatized (Madagascar seems to have ceded the use of a river in the south east to the Saudi Arabia). An action that, to my point of view, clashes totally with the claims the HAT had against the leasing of land to Daewoo Corporation (Financial Times).

Anyway, if you’re interested in reading the full article (in French) click here: INTERVIEW • "Madagascar ne doit pas vendre son eau douce"
