Mamy Rakotondrainibe of the Collectif Tany
On this edition of Free City Radio we hear from Mamy Rakotondrainibe of the Collectif Tany pour la défense des terres malgaches who speaks on opposing corporate land grabbing in Madagascar. Essentially this is the coercive practice of collaborations between the government of Madagascar and international corporations who collude to displace peasant communities in Madagascar from their ancestral lands to create space for massive corporate agricultural projects that are focused on export mono crops. Mamy specifically speaks about the current 2023 battle against the Italian company "Tozzi Green which aims to lease 100 000 hectares in the Ihorombe region to mainly cultivate jatropha for agrofuel production."
