It is time to change your perception about AFRICA , President Rajoelina of Madagascar tells UN GENERAL ASSEMBLY

"When we speak of a developing country like Madagascar, it is always the negative and miserable side that is conveyed and highlighted on the international scene. When we speak of the African continent, we always tend to darken reality.
It is time for the perception to change, we must stop conveying these prejudices and go beyond these received ideas.

The analysis published on the Covid19 situation predicted a health cataclysm on the African continent. But in the end Africa and the so-called "vulnerable" countries contradicted all forecasts.

These countries, like Madagascar, have been able to better cope with the impact of Covid19 and derive positive results from it. In Madagascar, to recover from this shock wave, we have decided to adopt an optimistic attitude. Through the realization of our development vision. Today we are writing the story of a profound transformation. "
