The Government calls for calm in the face of opposition provocations. On Sunday, April 27, 2025, the tranquility of the Benetsy fokontany (local administrative unit), in the village of Ankilivalo (Toliara II), was disrupted by clashes between residents and security forces. According to multiple eyewitness accounts, soldiers on a mission reportedly seized nearly 80 zebus stolen by dahalo (cattle rustlers), sparking widespread concern among the local population. Authorities denounce a deliberate manipulation, blaming the influence of Siteny Randrianasoloniaiko, a Malagasy Member of Parliament currently abroad.
