"Kill me if you are men." With these words of rare firmness, spoken during a visit to Toamasina for the inauguration of the new building of the Independent Anti-Corruption Office (BIANCO) in the city of Grand Port, the President of the Refoundation, Colonel Michaël Randrianirina addressed criminals responsible for kidnappings and murders plaguing the country in recent days, which have already claimed more than four lives in less than a week. "Why not kill me, if it is me who is in the way? Kill me, but do not kill Malagasy children," he insisted, as if to confirm suspicions of political destabilization behind these acts. The Refoundation president assured that the perpetrators of these crimes would not go unpunished. "Whoever is behind this, we have already begun investigating. Whatever organization is hiding behind these acts, I will destroy it," declared Colonel Michaël Randrianirina. This warning targets both the executors and the masterminds of these acts. The head of state also linked this surge in insecurity to corruption. According to him, the absence of patriotism encourages criminal acts. He believes that the pursuit of profit drives some to attack their fellow citizens. In his view, recent violence is also part of an effort to destabilize the country. This statement comes as several civil society organizations have published a joint position. They denounce the multiplication of disappearances, kidnappings and murders. The victims are children, young people, adults and people with albinism. The organizations express their solidarity with bereaved families and those still living in anguish over the disappearance of a loved one. The signatories believe these crimes constitute a serious violation of fundamental rights, particularly the right to life, security and human dignity. They recall that these rights are guaranteed by national laws and protected by international conventions ratified by Madagascar. According to them, fear now limits freedom of movement, work and study, and worsens the precariousness of many households. Faced with this situation, civil society calls on authorities to accelerate searches for missing persons, conduct thorough investigations into each case, and arrest and prosecute those responsible. The organizations want more regular and transparent official communication to reassure the population and strengthen confidence in institutions. They condemn all forms of mob justice and reprisals, recalling that only the application of law will durably combat this criminality. Finally, they call on parents, teachers, religious leaders, local authorities and associations to act together and strengthen protection for the most vulnerable.
