Two old tunnels of Tanà.
11/04/2006 | 19:49:18
Antananarivo has two tunnels both of which are of very respectable age 86 and 68 years. Apparently they are both still in relatively good shape and represent no danger but do need repairs.
For years now, thousands of vehicles have passed through the two tunnels in the capital. Midi writes, ?The Garbit tunnel is now 86 years of age. The Cayla tunnel which runs under Ambohijatovo peak was put into service 68 years ago. More than 55000 cars pass through the tunnels of Analakely and Ambanidia on a daily basis.? Today the two tunnels are part of local history of the capital. The author continues, ?There are obvious repairs which need to be made. One can see where the water comes through and where some of the surface materiel has dropped off as well as discoloration. Ralaimongo tunnel needs more work than the Ambanidia. While it is 18 years older than the Cayla, it obviously needs more work. It should be said both tunnels were created in the colonial times.?

Malagasy reporters gathered in the Sainte Famille College facilities in Antananarivo on January 07th, decided to erect their own trade union as a response to the ruling power´s abuses. Rocco Rasoanaivo, from the La Gazette de la Grande Ile newsgroup, was elected as president. The move was basically spurred by various forms of pressure against the press world, namely a warning letter to the TV PLUS channel, a forced call in to the state police station for the editor in chief of the LE COURRIER DE MADAGASCAR newsgroup, a statement from the army hinting threats against reporters and the imposition of an Ethics Commission by the HAT´s minister Harry Rahajason. This trade union is deemed to capitalize the united and organized reaction from Malagasy reporters unable to rely on their paralyzed Order. [See]
