Madagascar, Facing Cyclical Political Crises Since 1972: Issues and Strategies for Sustainable Reconstruction

Madagascar has experienced periods of political instability in recent decades, marked by frequent changes of government and recurring political crises. These problems are often linked to issues such as governance, corruption, the economy and ethnic tensions. The cyclical political situation in Madagascar since 1972 has created major challenges for the stability and development of the country. In addition, leaders have often been unable to stabilize the situation, as the famous maxim in management is: “To govern is to foresee†. Those in power thus remain subject to their political and personal interests, which compromises the political stability and economic development of Madagascar. To address this crisis and work towards reconstruction, several strategies can be considered. Notable political crises include that of 1972, triggered by a military coup led by Colonel Ratsimandrava, and those of 2002 and 2009, all of which had significant consequences for the political stability of the country. Resolving a political and economic crisis is a complex process that requires a multidimensional approach and the cooperation of various actors, including the government, national and international stakeholders, and civil society. Promoting inclusive dialogue between different parties is essential to find consensual solutions to political problems. This could include discussions between representatives of the government, the opposition, civil society, ethnic groups, and other important stakeholders.
