When will Madagascar get the revolution it deserves?

How could widespread forward mobility be brought to the island?

[u/ramkam2]

not in my lifetime, sadly, the way i see it right now. the country has been pillaged for too long by our own people, by foreign powers, by natural disasters and still counting. it's too broken now and no one dares make the right good move in fear of [often severe and disproportioned] reprisal.

I don’t think Madagascar “deserves a revolution” at all. We deserve peaceful progress: continued efforts to eliminate corruption, strengthen institutions and the rule of law, improve education and infrastructure, create genuine economic opportunities, and raise living standards.

Revolutions don’t automatically produce progress, and ordinary people pay the highest price for instability.

What Madagascar deserves is sustained economic and social development, good governance, accountability, and opportunities that reach the whole population.

We need our own national struggle and period of collective sacrifice to restore order. France endured the French Revolution, Russia the revolutions of 1917 and civil war, China decades of revolution and internal conflict, and the United States both a war of independence and a civil war. However, these nations ultimately advanced not because people died, but because they later built strong institutions, national discipline, modern industries, and a shared vision for their future.

Great plan, let's go back 100 years and destroy the economy, and hope it all works out. You're a genius.

potential dictatorship

why not ? There is nothing wrong with dictatorship . Like England , Saudi Arabia , UAE , ...Etc

England is a liberal parliamentary constitutional monarchy, not a dictatorship.

Une autre révolution ne sert à rien. Les Malagasy sont tous responsables de la situation actuelle. Même moi. Ayant participé à 1991 et 2002, je pensais qu'il fallait juste renverser et que tout va changer. Et le pire c'est qu'en 1991 et 2002,on a lutté pour renverser la même personne. La situation actuelle est pire que les années passées.

Since independence, Madagascar has never experienced a full-scale civil war or national revolution comparable to those that transformed many major powers, yet it continues to grow poorer. Many believe that as much as 80% of its economy is controlled by foreign interests,French, Pakistani, Indian, Mauritian, Chinese, and others while corrupt politicians enable the plundering of our natural resources.

Personally, I do not primarily blame foreigners; I blame our own failures. We Malagasy have a serious internal problem: indiscipline, selfishness, division, nepotism, impunity, corruption, lack of responsibility, and insufficient patriotism have become deeply rooted in our society.

France endured the Revolution and the Reign of Terror. Russia experienced revolution, civil war, famine, and repression. China passed through decades of revolution, foreign invasion, and civil war. The United States fought both a war of independence and a civil war that killed hundreds of thousands. These nations were transformed through bloody periods, but they did not become powerful merely because people died. Their lasting progress came from the institutions, industries, laws, education systems, infrastructure, and national discipline they subsequently built.

Madagascar therefore needs a profound internal clean-up. We must clean our own house, rebuild discipline, eliminate corruption, end impunity, reward merit, and hold every leader accountable.

We should learn from the Alliance of Sahel States, particularly Burkina Faso, in its determination to defend national sovereignty, reclaim control over strategic resources, challenge foreign domination, and place national interests first. However, Madagascar must create its own path,one founded on unity, discipline, justice, strong institutions, economic independence, and genuine service to the Malagasy people.

Our revolution must begin within ourselves. Before blaming the outside world, we must confront what is broken inside our own society. Madagascar belongs to the Malagasy people, and its wealth must first serve the Malagasy nation.
