Famine in Madagascar I ARTE.tv Documentary

It’s a crisis that is hardly registering in international media. Villages in the far south of #Madagascar are suffering from extreme hardship and famine due to raids by bandits, climate change and weak government. In Madagascar, 1.5 million people are enduring the worst food shortage in ten years. The reason: a drought has persisted for the last 100 years. In the southernmost part of the island, the situation is especially precarious because the villagers are being terrorised by the "Dahalo", a group of armed bandits. They steal the livestock and leave the people with nothing to eat despite roots and locusts. You hear the word "kere" hear often, it means "hunger". As early as October 2020, pictures of emaciated children began appearing online. Despite a personal visit from Madagascar's president, the situation continues to worsen. People are dying here everyday because the aid they receive from the government and relief organisations is not enough. So, the villagers need to rely on themselves, spending their days hungry and in fear of the "Dahalo".
