Madagascar's Darkening Shadows The recent wave of kidnappings in Antananarivo, Madagascar's capital city, has left a trail of desperation and fear in its wake.
The phenomenon is not new to Africa, but the sheer scale and brazenness of these crimes have caught many off guard. Since June, a significant number of children and teenagers have gone missing in Antananarivo.
While some have been rescued or recovered, many others remain unaccounted for. This has had a devastating psychological impact on families and the community at large.
