Emotion continues to grip Madagascar following a series of alarming disappearances and particularly violent crimes that have shaken public opinion in recent days. The discovery on Tuesday in Ambatomaro of the mutilated body of a 19-year-old man, reported missing the day before, sparked widespread outrage and triggered a massive wave of citizen mobilization. Calls for increased security and firm state action multiplied on social media and in the streets, where many citizens denounced a growing sense of insecurity. Facing this pressure, authorities announced on Tuesday afternoon a major reinforcement of security measures. Hundreds of military personnel, police officers and gendarmes were mobilized to intensify patrols day and night. This operational response was accompanied, however, by political discourse. Prime Minister Mamitiana Rajaonarison claimed that certain individuals were seeking to obstruct the "Refoundation" process initiated by authorities. He assured that the government would not allow anyone to compromise this ambition and would do everything to ensure the project succeeds. Meanwhile, several government supporters went further, attributing these crimes to a destabilization strategy orchestrated by officials from the former regime. Former president Andry Rajoelina is notably cited by some activists as the presumed main instigator of an insecurity climate intended, according to them, to provoke popular anger and facilitate a return to power. To date, no public evidence has been presented to support these accusations. Beyond political confrontations, this succession of tragedies recalls a much broader reality. In many countries facing severe poverty, corruption and weak institutions, disappearances of children and women have long fueled particularly lucrative criminal networks. Sexual exploitation, forced prostitution, trafficking linked to illegal adoptions and clandestine organ trade are among the leads regularly mentioned by specialists in international criminal organizations. These networks often thrive through local complicity, sometimes involving influential figures or corrupt public officials, which considerably complicates investigations and fosters impunity. In this context, several observers believe that priority should be given to focusing efforts on independent, thorough and transparent investigations to identify the true perpetrators and their possible accomplices, rather than prematurely transforming these tragedies into political confrontation. For many families, the expected response remains above all one of justice, truth and effective protection of the population.
