Desde quando Madagascar tornou-se independente da França, em 1960, soldados têm reiteradamente se intrometido na política, e a maioria dos Malgaxes, como são chamados os cidadãos de lá, vive na pobreza, a qual o ecoturismo, a produção de baunilha e a recente descoberta de petróleo pouco têm aliviado.
Os colonizadores europeus fizeram o mesmo no Haiti, em toda a África, da qual Madagascar faz parte, apesar de ser uma gigantesca ilha, na Índia, aqui na América do Sul e em boa parte da Ásia. Enfim, saquearam o planeta inteiro e ainda assim estão numa enorme crise econômica.
O título desta postagem tem relação com a música Like a Rolling Stone, de Bob Dylan, quando ele pergunta: how does it feel? (Como se sente sem uma casa, tendo que pedir pela sua próxima refeição?)

Since Madagascar gained independence from France in 1960, soldiers have repeatedly meddled in politics, and most Malagasy, as the nation's people are known, live in poverty, which ecotourism, vanilla production and the recent discovery of oil have done little to alleviate.
European colonizers did the same in Haiti, Africa, to which Madagascar belongs, despite being a giant island; in India, here in South America and part of Asia. Eventually, they looted the whole planet and even so they are immerse in a huge economic crisis.
This post's title is related to Bob Dylan's song Like a Rolling Stone, when he asks: how does it feel, to be without a home, having to be scrounging for your next meal?
