Stateless minorities: The Karana of Madagascar
The Karana community of Indo-Pakistani descent has lived in Madagascar for more than a century. However, they are not viewed as citizens of Madagascar and many remain stateless. Sougrabay Ibrahim, who is 84 years old and still stateless has never attended school. For her, to be stateless is the worst thing that can happen to a person.

Millions of people around the world are without nationality. Many of them belong to an ethnic, religious or linguistic minority in the country where they have often lived for generations.
More than 75% of the world’s known stateless populations belong to minority groups. Discrimination, exclusion and persecution most commonly describe their existence.
This report explains the circumstances that have led to them not being recognized as citizens, drawing on discussions with four stateless or formerly stateless minority groups. The findings in this report underscore the critical need for minorities to enjoy the right to nationality.

Mozambique / Madagascar / Mauritius - Pope praises Mozambique's leaders for landmark peace accord /
(9 Sep 2019) STORYLINE:
Pope Francis praised Mozambique's president and opposition leader September 5th for their courage in signing a landmark new peace accord.
Thousands of residents lined the streets of the capital Maputo to cheer Francis' motorcade as he headed to the presidential palace to meet with President Felipe Nyusi.
After meeting privately, Francis addressed government authorities and RENAMO leader Ossufo Momade, who signed the peace accord with Nyusi and was among the invited guests.
When Nyusi addressed Momade as my brother in his opening speech, Momade stood up from the audience and was applauded.
Analysts pointed to the significance of both Nyusi, a Catholic, and Momade, a Muslim, greeting the Pope as a symbolically powerful message of unity amid the diversity of Mozambique, which has a long tradition of religious tolerance.
In his speech, Francis praised their courage for setting aside personal interest and violence and working instead for the common good.
He urged a continued commitment to a process of reconciliation and development that respects the environment and takes care of those on the fringes of society.
Francis' visit came just weeks after the new peace deal was signed and before national elections on October 15th.
The vote is considered crucial because a recent constitutional amendment has decentralised power so that provincial governors will now be elected directly, rather than appointed by the central government.
Mozambique's 15-year civil war, which ended with a 1992 peace deal, killed an estimated one million people and devastated the former Portuguese colony.
The permanent ceasefire signed August 1 was the culmination of years of negotiations to end fighting that has flared sporadically in the 27 years since.

Pope Francis wrapped up his visit to Mozambique on September 6th by consoling HIV-infected mothers and children and denouncing the rampant corruption that has helped make the southern African nation one of the world's poorest countries.
Francis received a raucous welcome at both a medical centre specializing in AIDS treatment and a rain-soaked sports stadium full of singing and dancing faithful, evidence of his popularity in a country where Catholics represent less than a third of the population.
At the Mass, Francis urged an estimated 60,000 Mozambicans to continue on the path of post-civil war reconciliation. But he warned of the dangers of corruption and the injustices committed when public officials claim to help the poor but have personal interests at heart.

Pope Francis joined 100,000 young people from Madagascar for an evening vigil in Antananarivo on September 7th.
Thousands waited to catch a glimpse of the leader of the Catholic Church.
Madagascar is the world's 4th largest island, a country with stunning natural beauty whose name alone conjures up images of lemures, vanilla beans and majestic baobab trees.
Yet Madagascar is struggling with extreme poverty; about 75 percent of the population lives on two dollars a day and about half the children under age five suffer from chronic malnutrition, according to the World Bank. There are about 25.5 million people living in Madagascar from 18 different ethnic groups.
35% of the population of Madagascar is Catholic.
The last time a Pope came to Madagascar, it was John Paul II in 1989.

Listening is a more natural way of learning, when compared to reading. Written language only began at around 3200 BC, but spoken language has existed long ago.
Learning by listening is a great way to:
- increases imagination and understanding
- improves your listening skills
- improves your own spoken accent
- learn while on the move
- reduce eye strain
Now learn the vast amount of general knowledge available on Wikipedia through audio (audio article). You could even learn subconsciously by playing the audio while you are sleeping! If you are planning to listen a lot, you could try using a bone conduction headphone, or a standard speaker instead of an earphone.

SUMMARY
=======
Madagascar (; Malagasy: Madagasikara), officially the Republic of Madagascar (Malagasy: Repoblikan'i Madagasikara Malagasy pronunciation: [republiˈkʲan madaɡasˈkʲarə̥]; French: République de Madagascar), and previously known as the Malagasy Republic, is an island country in the Indian Ocean, off the coast of East Africa. The nation comprises the island of Madagascar (the fourth-largest island in the world), and numerous smaller peripheral islands. Following the prehistoric breakup of the supercontinent Gondwana, Madagascar split from the Indian peninsula around 88 million years ago, allowing native plants and animals to evolve in relative isolation. Consequently, Madagascar is a biodiversity hotspot; over 90% of its wildlife is found nowhere else on Earth. The island's diverse ecosystems and unique wildlife are threatened by the encroachment of the rapidly growing human population and other environmental threats.
The first archaeological evidence for human foraging on Madagascar may have occurred as much as 10,000 years ago. Human settlement of Madagascar occurred between 350 BC and AD 550 by Austronesian peoples, arriving on outrigger canoes from Borneo. These were joined around AD 1000 by Bantu migrants crossing the Mozambique Channel from East Africa. Other groups continued to settle on Madagascar over time, each one making lasting contributions to Malagasy cultural life. The Malagasy ethnic group is often divided into 18 or more subgroups of which the largest are the Merina of the central highlands.
Until the late 18th century, the island of Madagascar was ruled by a fragmented assortment of shifting sociopolitical alliances. Beginning in the early 19th century, most of the island was united and ruled as the Kingdom of Madagascar by a series of Merina nobles. The monarchy ended in 1897 when the island was absorbed into the French colonial empire, from which the island gained independence in 1960. The autonomous state of Madagascar has since undergone four major constitutional periods, termed republics. Since 1992, the nation has officially been governed as a constitutional democracy from its capital at Antananarivo. However, in a popular uprising in 2009, president Marc Ravalomanana was made to resign and presidential power was transferred in March 2009 to Andry Rajoelina. Constitutional governance was restored in January 2014, when Hery Rajaonarimampianina was named president following a 2013 election deemed fair and transparent by the international community. Madagascar is a member of the United Nations, the African Union (AU), the Southern African Development Community (SADC), and the Organisation Internationale de la Francophonie.
Madagascar belongs to the group of least developed countries, according to the United Nations. Malagasy and French are both official languages of the state. The majority of the population adheres to traditional beliefs, Christianity, or an amalgamation of both. Ecotourism and agriculture, paired with greater investments in education, health, and private enterprise, are key elements of Madagascar's development strategy. Under Ravalomanana, these investments produced substantial economic growth, but the benefits were not evenly spread throughout the population, producing tensions over the increasing cost of living and declining living standards among the poor and some segments of the middle class. As of 2017, the economy has been weakened by the 2009–2013 political crisis, and quality of life remains low for the majority of the Malagasy population.
