Madagascar is going through a period where "prayers are necessary." This is the message that the president of the Refondation, Colonel Michaël Randrianirina, wanted to convey on Sunday in Morondava, during the ordination ceremony of Mgr Andrianandrainy Jeannot Martial, appointed auxiliary bishop of the diocese by Pope Léon XIV. Before thousands of faithful gathered on the steps of the Maria Manjaka Cathedral, where he attended the main mass alongside his wife, the Prime Minister, and several government members, the head of state called on all churches in the country to pray for the Nation. According to him, the government alone will not be able to face the trials currently affecting Madagascar. These statements come in a particularly concerning context. For several weeks, the country has been confronted with a surge in kidnappings, disturbing disappearances, and murders that fuel a deep sense of insecurity. Cases are multiplying in several regions and affecting victims of all ages. According to figures provided by authorities, more than 250 missing person reports have been registered since the beginning of the year, while only about ten cases are currently being processed at the Justice Ministry level. July alone was also marked by nine deaths, a toll that deeply moved public opinion. Facing this situation, the president of the Refondation emphasized the role that religious communities can play. Returning to debates around the secularism of the state, he believed that the moment required transcending denominational differences to unite in prayer. He also asked the faithful to pray for political leaders so they govern with the fear of God and resist corruption, which he considers one of the major causes of the country's difficulties. Colonel Michaël Randrianirina stressed that the Refondation cannot succeed without a transformation of mentalities, behaviors, and spiritual life. This call echoes the national day of mourning decreed Friday in tribute to victims of kidnappings and murders striking Madagascar. On that occasion, a mass had been celebrated on the steps of Antananarivo City Hall, in the presence of authorities, religious leaders, and many citizens who came to pay tribute to the missing. This moment of reflection already reflected the desire to unite the Nation against violence that continues to devastate many families. But despite these ceremonies and public authority announcements, concern remains high. Social networks are daily flooded with new missing person notices shared by victims' relatives. In parallel, testimonies from people claiming to have narrowly escaped kidnapping attempts are multiplying, whether children, teenagers, or adults. In several cities, this succession of accounts maintains a climate of fear and pushes many families to redouble their vigilance. It is in this context that the president of the Refondation is now also banking on a spiritual awakening, calling on all churches to accompany the country through this ordeal with prayer.
