Today, on June 26th, we honor Madagascar's Independence Day 🇲🇬, marking its hard-fought journey to freedom.
French colonization began in 1896, following the Franco-Hova Wars. The Malagasy people, under cultural and economic repression, nurtured a growing spirit of resistance, leading to significant nationalist movements.
The pivotal 1947 Malagasy Uprising, although brutally suppressed, further ignited the desire for independence. As global decolonization pressure mounted, Madagascar gained autonomy within the French Community in 1958, and by June 26, 1960, full independence was realized, with Philibert Tsiranana as its first president.
Despite post-independence challenges, the resilience that led to freedom continues to guide Madagascar's progress. As we celebrate today, we remember the sacrifices made for independence and the ongoing efforts for a prosperous nation. Happy Independence Day, Madagascar!
