Madagascar is an island located in the Indian Ocean off Southern Africa and east of Mozambique. It spans an area roughly twice the size of Arizona and is the world’s fourth-largest island. The climate is tropical along the coast, temperate inland, and arid in the south. The terrain consists of a narrow coastal plain with a long chain of mountains running along the eastern coast and into the center of the island. Natural resources include graphite, chromite, coal, bauxite, salt, quartz, tar sands, semiprecious stone, mica, fish, and hydropower.

Ravalomanana has promised to fight the poverty and unemployment that afflict the people. The current economy is suffering not only from months of disruption and political violence but Madagascar has experienced economic difficulties since 1980, which have fueled political instability. Rioting in towns due to food shortages have been compounded by the frustrated farmers who have abandoned their fields. For the seven-month period in which the people had two presidents in 2002, widespread demonstrations and worker strikes paralyzed trade, commerce and industry. Gasoline and medical supplies were in short supply as foreign reserves in US banks were frozen. The economy is still recovering..

Madagascar has around 55,000 Telephone lines and 30,000 Internet users
