The Conference of Bishops of Madagascar (CEM) has broken its silence in the face of rising violence sweeping the country. In a solemn message addressed to the entire population, the prelates assert they can no longer remain silent as disappearances, homicides, and discoveries of lifeless bodies multiply, fueling a deep sense of insecurity. Through the voice of its vice-president, Mgr Jean Pascal Andriantsoavina, the CEM describes a genuine "climate of terror" and urges everyone to defend the sacred character of human life. Addressing authorities directly, the bishops acknowledge efforts undertaken but believe responses remain insufficient given the scale of the crisis. They demand that actions now take precedence over declarations to prevent violence from continuing to spread. Church leaders are also calling for greater transparency on the real causes of this security deterioration. According to them, the population needs to know the truth so that recent crimes are not forgotten and growing concerns can be eased. This position comes as authorities attribute these acts of violence to an attempt at political destabilization targeting the country's institutions. While this thesis is regularly advanced by the government, the bishops, like other civil society organizations, believe citizens above all expect tangible results from investigations. They thus join calls made in recent days by several national actors demanding effective action against perpetrators of crimes rather than mere public announcements. In their message, the prelates also warn against the consequences of widespread fear. They firmly condemn lynchings, accusations without proof, settling of scores, and acts of mob justice multiplying in certain localities. Calling on Malagasy people not to succumb to hatred or manipulation, the CEM invites each citizen to preserve peace within their family and community. For the bishops, only collective mobilization based on justice, truth, and respect for life will halt the spiral of violence threatening national cohesion today.
