</ul>
<p>  Les foyers sinistr&eacute;s, victimes du passage du cyclone &laquo;&nbsp;Ivan&nbsp;&raquo; vivent aujourd&rsquo;hui encore dans les sites d&rsquo;accueil dans les quasi-totalit&eacute;s. M&ecirc;me si les eaux se sont retir&eacute;es dans certaines zones, des familles n&rsquo;ont pas encore pu rejoindre leurs habitations pour cause de travaux. D&rsquo;ailleurs, l&rsquo;effondrement des maisons est aussi &agrave; craindre apr&egrave;s les pluies battantes relay&eacute;es par la canicule.Pour la zone de Morarano Alarobia, les 159 sinistr&eacute;s entament leur quatri&egrave;me semaine de s&eacute;jour dans les tentes. Ils aimeraient rentrer chez eux, mais de nombreuses r&eacute;parations les attendent.</p>
<p><img src="http://www.purplecorner.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/02/purple.jpg" border="0" width="24" height="24" /><font color="#9966ff">I know the people from Morarano Alarobia personnally because I spent many days working with them during my CUA internship. They live like &quot;parias&quot; on their own lands located in Antananarivo industrial (and soon to be Down-town Business Center). After cyclone season, they&#39;re looking for governemental support for reconstruction.</font></p>
<p><font color="#9966ff">Population touched by Ivan are still living the inside the camps. Most of the families are still waiting for their houses under construction. But with the heavy rains and canicule, they&#39;re afraid of house collapses. This is their 4th week at the tents and are waitingfor better housing conditions.</font></p>

The city of Antsiranana was also affected but not as extensively and is now destroying homes on the coast of Mozambique. The sad pun about the current cyclonic season being a cruel &ldquo;Jok(w)e&rdquo; from nature notwithstanding, bloggers urge the authorities for more adequate preparedness with respect to natural disasters. An analysis of the reasons for the extent of the catastrophe once landfall is made could help prevent more damages, especially considering that a 4th tropical cyclone, Kamba, is now forming 700 miles east of Madagascar.</font></p>

<div>Miarahaba,</div>
<div>Momba ny eny IKOPA aloha izao no ananako vaovao. Lakana sy Vedette no analana ny olona eny afovoan-drano. Misy anefa ny tsy mety miala fa malahelo ny fananana kely nohariany an-taona maro. Misy anefa ny trano sasany no tena efa any anaty rano tanteraka mihitsy ary tafo sisa manangasanga. Olona iray no maty indray omaly raha nahakasika bararata nilatsahan&#39;ny Fil electrique tapaka. Telo lahy izy ireo no niaraka fa ny roa tsy maty. Teny Anosimahavelona amin&#39;iny manodidina an&#39;Anosizato no nisy an&#39;izay. Mbola miandry amin&#39;ny 7h 30 aty Dago aho vao afaka miantso SOANIERAN IVONGO sy SAINTE MARIE. Be ny manontany vaovao momba ireo aty amiko. Hiezaka aho hanome fahafaham-po araka izay mba fanampiana azoko entina sy araka izay tratrako.</div>

<p><font color="#9933ff">My dad is in diego he is ok nothing happened there. Phones are always down up there even if there is no cyclone. I&#39;ll send you the latest news as soon as I get them but even if you are 200km from Sainte-Marie it doesn&#39;t mean we know something. It&#39;s sick how bad cyclone alert system status is in Mada, people only know about the cyclone the same day it will happen but in Reunion island usually we&#39; get prepared 10 days before it comes.</font></p>
<blockquote><p>La Reunion island is located in the Indian Ocean near its twin sister Maurice. Cyclon paths always pass through La Reunion before getting to Madagascar by the eastern coast.&nbsp;</p>
<p>Tamatave is Madagascar&#39;s second wealthiest city. Economy has been blossoming lately with the implementation of mining industry and among many others.&nbsp;</p>

<p> Alors qu&rsquo;Ivan continue d&rsquo;arroser le centre et l&rsquo;ouest de Madagascar, secours malgaches et organisations humanitaires tentent de dresser un premier bilan de la catastrophe.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.purplecorner.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/02/unite.jpg" title="Unite.jpg"><img src="http://www.purplecorner.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/01/fr.thumbnail.png" border="0" alt="Fr.png" width="28" height="28" /></a>&Agrave; une semaine de mon arriv&eacute;e &agrave; Montr&eacute;al, on ne m&#39;avait pas pr&eacute;venue que j&#39;allais &ecirc;tre dispens&eacute;e du sentiment tortur&eacute; de d&eacute;racinement &eacute;prouv&eacute; par tout Malgache exil&eacute;. Non seulement je n&#39;allais jamais me retrouver toute seule mais qu&#39;en plus je pouvais &ecirc;tre utile &agrave; autrui et en apprendre beaucoup en retour.</p>
<p>Je sais d&eacute;sormais que la plus r&eacute;ussie des soir&eacute;es se fait avec un budget de 200$, un minuscule appart, des lampes &agrave; couleurs, des colliers floraux de chez Dollarama et 150 invit&eacute;s. Que lorsqu&#39;on fait du b&eacute;n&eacute;volat au Centre Communautaire, la personne qui a le plus besoin d&#39;aide&#8230;&eacute;tait soi-m&ecirc;me ! Que le Pilo-pilo battra toujours l&#39;Harissa et le Jalapeno. Que les plus beaux mecs viennent d&#39;Ha&iuml;ti et les plus belles filles de Tunisie. Que &quot;chez nous&quot; aussi c&#39;est comme &quot;chez eux&quot; m&ecirc;me si Belgrade est plus au nord.</p>
<p>Mais une des le&ccedil;ons les plus importantes estd&#39;&ecirc;tre convaincue qu&#39;une &eacute;quipe form&eacute;e de Togolais, Malgaches, Nig&eacute;rians, S&eacute;n&eacute;galais, Congolais, Tchadiens, Qu&eacute;becois et B&eacute;ninois (dont certains ont grandi &agrave; Addis, on insiste!) peut gagner une saison dans une ligue de Basket (ou sur les champs de bataille). Allez les copains! <strong>Team Unite, Team Africa! </strong>(m&ecirc;me si je ne me pointerai qu&#39;&agrave; la finale : je voudrais sp&eacute;cifier que mon sourire narquois lors de vos d&eacute;faites ne veut pas seulement dire &quot;ben voil&agrave; ce qui arrive quand on sort la veille des matchs&quot;)&#8230;<strong>j&#39;y crois, j&#39;y crois</strong></p>
<p align="center"><a href="http://www.purplecorner.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/02/unite.jpg" title="Unite.jpg"><img src="http://www.purplecorner.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/02/unite.jpg" border="0" alt="Unite.jpg" width="358" height="317" /></a> </p>
<p>&nbsp;<br /> <img src="http://www.purplecorner.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/01/en.thumbnail.png" border="0" alt="En.png" width="35" height="35" />When I first came to Montr&eacute;al, I failed to experience the &quot;lonelinessness&quot; everyone expect to feel when leaving Madagascar for a very very far and cold country. Alone? I was never left and even got the chance to make myself useful to others.</p>
<p>For instance I learned few tips. On making the best of the best 200$-parties : invite people into a multi-color-lighted tiny apartment and give out hawaiian flowered necklaces .

That Ha&iuml;tian guyz and Tunisian women tops the palmares for best looking people. And &quot;back home&quot; means pretty much the same wether you&#39;re from Belgrade or Guatemala City.</p>
<p>The most important lesson is when you believe in a team formed by Senegalese, Malagasy, Tchadian, Quebequese, Togolese, Congolese, Nigerian and Beninese (I must mention that some of them grew up in Addis) can together win a BasketBall championship (and not only a virtual one). Go Guyz! Team Unite, Team Africa ! (even if I&#39;m only invited to the finales because you can&#39;t stand my mocking smile when you lose a game. The one to remind you of your last night partying&#8230;) <strong>I believe in you, I really do &#8230;.</strong></p>
