    LATEST UPDATES

    Mr. Damisoa, a 48-year-old man, was appointed by Mayor Johnson Hadjicosta of Tsaramandroso in April 2023 as the area manager of a 117-hectare resettlement site in Tsaramandroso, which is a municipality located in the Boeny region of northwestern Madagascar. As the area manager, his role is critical. He works directly with local authorities to address any issues that arise within the resettlement site. His responsibilities include regularly checking the condition of the 33 huts that make up the settlement and reporting any problems that may need attention. The site, under the guidance of Tsaramandroso's mayor, serves a crucial purpose. Governor Mokthar Andriatomanga of the Boeny region has also designated it as a pilot project to address the growing crisis of drought-induced displacement. The Antandroy people, who are particularly affected by this crisis, arrive in the region in large numbers. According to the governor, around 100 Antandroy people flee their homes each week to escape the devastating drought-induced famine that have gripped their ancestral lands in the southern Androy region of Madagascar.

Acknowledgement of Country

First Nations peoples are the continuing custodians of the lands, waters and skies of this continent, of which sovereignty was never ceded.

We recognise the strength and intergenerational resilience of Elders, and honour the culture and wisdom that they have passed on to future generations.

We continue to fight for Indigenous Rights and stand in solidarity with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities, acknowledging the ongoing impacts of colonisation and human rights abuses which disproportionately impact on First Nations peoples.

Always was, always will be.
