Here, we report precise new zircon U–Pb ages and whole-rock geochemistry for granitoids within the Maevatanana area of Madagascar. The new laser ablation inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry zircon U–Pb dating undertaken during this study indicates that Antanimbary granitoid and Antasakoamamy granitoid were emplaced at 747 ± 9 Ma and 729 ± 9–727 ± 8 Ma, respectively. Geochemically, the Antanimbary granitoids show poor Nb, Ta anomalies, pronounced positive Zr anomalies, and are K-rich (K2O/Na2O > 1), but the Antasakoamamy granitoids are relatively depleted in Nb, Ta, show slightly negative Zr anomalies, and are Na-rich (Na2O/K2O > 1). Both suites contain zircons with strongly negative εHf(t), indicating participation of much older (Palaeoproterozoic and Archaean) crust. Their geochemical characteristics, along with the use of various discrimination diagrams, reveals that crustal delamination and asthenospheric upwelling resulted in crustal extension of the region before ~747 Ma, with subsequent lithospheric subduction and arc magmatism after 729–727 Ma.

Artesunate–amodiaquine (ASAQ) and artemether–lumefantrine are the frst- and second-line treatment in uncomplicated falciparum malaria, respectively. No clinical drug efcacy study has been published since 2009 to assess the efcacy of these two artemisinin-based combinations in Madagascar, although the incidence of malaria cases has increased from 2010 to 2016. In this con- text, new data about the efcacy of the drug combinations currently used to treat malaria are needed. Methods: Therapeutic efcacy studies evaluating the efcacy of ASAQ were conducted in 2012, 2013 and 2016 among falciparum malaria-infected patients aged between 6 months and 56 years, in health centres in 6 sites repre- senting diferent epidemiological patterns. The 2009 World Health Organization protocol for monitoring anti-malarial drug efcacy was followed. Results: A total of 348 enrolled patients met the inclusion criteria including 108 patients in 2012 (n 64 for Matanga, n 44 for Ampasipotsy), 123 patients in 2013 (n 63 for Ankazomborona, n 60 for Anjoma Ramartina)= and 117 patients= in 2016 (n 67 for Tsaratanana, n 50 for= Antanimbary). The overall= cumulative PCR-corrected day 28 cure rate was 99.70% (95%= IC 98.30–99.95).

  • Charm Battles: Vigilantes, Magic, and the State in Middle-Western
    Title: Charm Battles: Vigilantes, Magic, and the State in Middle-Western Madagascar Journal: Small Wars & Insurgencies (Print ISSN: 0959-2318 Online ISSN: 1743-9558) [peer reviewed version 08.04.2019, in press 2019] 1 Abstract: Growing insecurity in rural areas of Madagascar is linked to what has been understood as a disintegration of the legal and the real state, both in Africa and beyond. Nevertheless, violence and insecurity is nothing new on Madagascar, and village communities have a long history of coping with disorder, and of self-defense. New vigilante movements, which are founded by charismatic leaders, are based on a long-established and well- known socio-cultural code, it is proposed. This includes belief of magic forces, which again results in an interpretation of confrontations by local actors as charm battles. The two vigilante groups described, called Zazamainty and Lambamena, should be seen, in spite of major ideological differences, as variants of the same basic code, providing them with a similar interpretation of the ongoing clashes. This first Malagasy case study of vigilantism adds to the ongoing theorization of the vigilante phenomenon as well as efforts to understand the proliferation of non-state armed organizations or ‘twilight institutions’ beyond the state. Keywords: Vigilantism, Madagascar, Zazamainty, Lambamena, Non-state armed actors, community-based armed groups, village conventions, magic, dina, dahalo Word count: 9.499 2 Introduction Vigilantism is increasingly attracting scholarly attention. Such interest today goes far beyond specific case studies and includes investigations that aim to understand vigilante movements in a more systematic way, on a global level, with respect to specific cultural or territorial spaces, and through time.1 A central observation pervading the literature is the ambiguous link between vigilantism and the state in which they are inevitably embedded.

Abstract: Protected areas (PAs) are a cornerstone for conservation biodiversity. Madagascar, as a hotspot for biodiversity, has a network of 114 terrestrial protected areas covering the main forest types occurring on the island. Deforestation continues unabated despite the network covering 11% of the island. Here we present a case study approach reporting on four PAs from the humid forests, dry western forests, and southwestern dry and spiny forests and thickets. To describe deforestation Citation: Rafanoharana, S.C.; in and around the case sites, we have considered a time window of 30 years for analysis, focusing Andrianambinina, F.O.D.; Rasamuel, on six years with reliable data: 1990, 2000, 2010, 2015 (the year of latest PA network update), and H.A.; Rakotoarijaona, M.A.; 2017.
