At least 90 disappearances have been reported in recent months. Currently, around forty people, mostly young people and children, who disappeared in recent weeks, remain the focus of investigations by police and gendarmerie authorities. These abduction cases, followed by murders in some instances, have sparked panic among Antananarivo residents. Many parents are choosing to pick up their children from examination centers, candidates for the BEPC exam, who were initially supposed to return home alone as usual throughout their school year. This reflects the degree of parental anxiety over the climate of insecurity, which many describe as unacceptable, given the outcome of certain disappearances. Indeed, cases of missing children and young people later found dead, some with mutilated bodies, are described by public opinion as abject crimes, even terrorism, echoing the head of state's remarks yesterday. If that were the case, who benefits from the crime? These abduction and murder cases, at first glance, do not appear to be motivated by financial gain, as they mention no ransom demands or payments. 'Gratuitous' crimes, whose motivation must be something else entirely. It is urgent that this motivation be brought to light. For its part, the population urgently needs an effective means to prevent further heinous crimes from occurring. A panic button, so to speak, so that emergency measures are triggered immediately and, above all, produce the desired effect: preventing other children or adolescents from being abducted or murdered again.
