Not Christmas, not Hannukah, not the celebration of the Fourth Republic after the botched referendum and the botched coup that wasn&#8217;t (a must see side splitting picture of Andry Rajoelina and Mialy Rajoelina, aka Heidi of the Banana Republic, with her little girl braids, being escorted out of the [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[As part of my involvement with my daughter&#8217;s school, I have been asked to come in and have a presentation about Madagascar. The kids study three countries every year, and lucky us, this year, Madagascar is one of the chosen!
Last year I was solicited and spoke about Malagasy Holiday festivities to my son&#8217;s class. What [...]]]></description>

		<title>Elie Rajaonarison : Mihira ry tendrombohitra</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Ranitra&#8217;s author has died on November 27 2010. This sad news has shaken WoW of SipaKV out of its voluntary lethargy, since disastrous political news have become a favorite of Madagascar lately.
Elie Rajaonarison, poet, anthropologist, photographer, translator, Malagasy language lover and artist, would have surely had something to say about the troubled times that Madagascar [...]]]></description>

He was a man who loved learning and did not cease learning throughout his life.
He mastered and loved, defended the Malagasy language : he [...]]]></description>

		<title>A poem</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Midadasika ity taniko ity. Maina sy karakaina.
Fombany :
mirentirenty hatrany am-paravodilanitra.
Fanaony :
mirimorimo eny an-tampon-kavoana.
Miandry izy, manantena ny rivo-dranomasina.
&#8230;
Ahy ity tany ity.
Voadidiko.
Didiaviko.
Korokorontaiko.
Dorodoroiko.
Miely ny afoko.
Eraky ny tendrombohitro.
Eraky ny ahitro.
Misolilalila amin&#8217;ny harambatoko.
Afo. Afo.
Tiako ny mahita azy miredareda.
Tiako ny mahita azy mampikolay
sy mampitomany ny efa karakaina.
Ary izato fahanginana mandrakotra ny taniko&#8230;
Ary izato kiaky ny may tsy tafihoatra ny tenda&#8230;
Izato volon-tany [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I am mainly following the news from Madagascar on citizen media tools like twitter.com, as well as sobika.com, topmada.com madanight.com, sites which have reconverted into breaking news central. Together they form the Malagasy cnn.com. I find I am even better informed than family and friends who reside in Antananarivo.
Everyday the news have become direr and [...]]]></description>

Ary ilay fotoam-pivavahana natao tetsy Mahamasina o ? Toa mbola tena tsy mahavoa an-dRanavalona III na Ravalomanana na TGV amin&#8217;ny famoriana olona.
