  • Ratsiraka was in power from 1975 until 1992 and returned for another stint from 1997 to 2002.
    Famed for his strong socialist policies, he was a national hero and a great patriot for some. For others, a ruthless dictator with policies that led to the ruin of the national economy and the country’s cultural heritage, which left Madagascar as one of the poorest nations on earth.

    Madagascar is just doomed!! I think it’s safe to say in Africa I’m yet to see this land reforming being a successful story. If there can be disciplined pres like Sankara etc etc .

    Guys please focus on leaders who helped their countries rather than destroying it too, although they will be handful but it would be better to see them from time to time for a change.

      History doesn't care about anyone's emotions unfortunately. If its part of history let it be taught. we need to know where we are coming from that way we know where we are going.

    Great content. The author/narrator should however read the history in accurate fashion... As the majority of so-called former french colonies, Africa's Great Island is destabilized at wish by French state. Was pdt. Didier Ratsiraka a good or bad ruler is a subjective matter: beauty is the eyes of the beholder. Madagascar, the pearl of Africa, was one of Africa's most organized kingdoms. The kingdom was destabilized by foreign invasions, mostly the french who are controlling the the Great Island as we speak. Recently french govt' proxies attempted an assassination of current Malagasy president. In mid-2015 France claimed, through her ambassador, Madagascar's micro islands as French territories (!). Africans must unite and be ready to die for their lands, as one people.

    Many of the political /socioeconomic failures of communist countries arose from the disintegration of the global left since the 1980s.
    Even though the narration here is very balanced, I think we should not be very quick to judge this president of Madagascar for the woes of the nation without learning a little bit more.

    With no proper planning everything will fall apart, socialism is not the answer. Ratsraka may have had dreams of prosperity but he lacked planning because i believe he ran the country as a one man army, no governance no accountability
