10-03-23 15:09 #5483Things are already nasty, and it's just starting. You should have known this. Always happens with elections in Africa and this country is no exception. Taking to the roads on public transit would be stupid. Going to Tana out of the question. Even with teargas mask, there's still curfew. Toliara girls have gotten the hell out and gone home. Cotisse would be full if they're still running. If you're too cheap to fly, hire an SUV at the airport and maybe he'll take you to Majunga.

Why would you worry about elections? Who cares.

Elections
Relax. There was nothing so far. The opposition candidates planned a demonstration at rue independence. But that already has been thwarted by police. I'm not scaremongering. Mostly likely the DJ will be reelected. There's nobody on the horizon to stand up against him. Certainly not Marc. If you stay away from the Fokontany and the presidents palace you should be good to go. Election is scheduled for the 9 the November. I've nothing heard of people getting killed. Maybe in the Slums. All candidates got one million euros each to keep the peace for election expenses and the requisite chopper rental from south Africa. Originally Posted by SouthEaster

In the provinces you should be safe (r). Unless the poor decide to use the opportunity to rob some Karane off their sacks of rice.

Election
Son of a *****. No idea this was coming up. And I arrive in 2 weeks! Guess I better keep my head down. I think I will take a taxi straight from Ivato to Cotisse and book something out the following day if things get nasty.

Cotisse
I don't think you can pay with CC. I always paid cash. Of course you can pay with mvola. Reservation is not an issue as I'm time millionaire. As far as I know a lot of malagasy reserve by phone. If I go a few days earlier or later doesn't matter to me. Now with the town office in Tripolitsa it's very convenient to book there. But there's a good alternative now not on all routes. It's Soatrans. They have new VW Crafter Busses. If you go to Fianarantsoa or Tamatave they're a good alternative. I wanted to try them out from Fianar to Tana. But. They were fully booked. As the president was in town last June. So I ended up with Cotisse which was okish. Originally Posted by SouthEaster

Street vendors
It was notable by leaving LE glacier with a girl, they often wanted to sell you condoms. To me that's telling you all you need to know about it.

It makes difference I think because I have always thought Madagascar differently about this issue compare to Africa. But if this statistics are true then it is not.

Pre-election violence. Bodies lying about beat to a pulp. The army's in the street. Limited to Tana so far. Either wait till after the election, or go directly from Ivato to elsewhere, except seats on flights even more limited than usual.

0,3 or 3% does it make any different and why?
To me its all simpel math and it can hit you in the remotest village by a careless shag and you join the community.
After all its a free personal decision and how to respond to the common facts too.

Cotisse
I want to book a trip with Cotisse before I arrive but it seems that the only online options to pay are Mvola and Orange money. If you get to the payment page they actually have a credit card service charge tacked on to the price, but no CC option appears on the page. Anyone?

3%
I wonder why they concentrated on the north? Nosy Be and Diego? They also mention mining and to my knowledge most of the mining is on the way to Tamatave and near Fort dauphin (and north of Tulear? All far from the north. I won't discount the numbers but I always am a little suspect after the huge scares in some places with supposedly massive numbers. Cambodia 25 years back was supposed to be something like 30%. Treatment was pretty useless compared to now but the following few years did not see 30 $ of the population die off.

Use your commonsense
The wide spread promiscuity and on the hot spots enhanced by tourists and les putes - 0. 3% obvious is a wishful thought.
The way they made this study and were they took the samples is the other question.

3% hiv rate in Madagascar?
I was a bit shocked when I saw this report on Medrxiv website. According to them the real hiv prevalence rate is not 0.3% but it is 3% percent and this is a new report from 2023.
This is from the report: To our knowledge, this study marks the largest primary test data-based HIV study to date among Madagascar's general population, showing a greatly higher HIV prevalence (3.0%) than previously reported modeling based figures (0.3%.
