	VII. The Growth of the Colonial Seaport. 1691-1720.. Roosevelt, Theodore. 1906. New York
		At Madagascar there was a regular fort and station to which some of the New York merchants sent ships for the sole purpose of trading with the pirate vessels who carried their ill-gotten goods thither.
		More than one sea-chief of doubtful antecedents held his head high among the New York people of position, on the infrequent occasions when he landed to revel and live at ease, while his fl-hulled, rakish craft was discharging her cargo at the wharves, or refitting for another mysterious voyage.
		The colonial authorities joined to hunt the rovers from their coasts; and though the men of the fl flag continued to ply their trade in tropical seas, they never after that time appeared in the colonial seaports save by stealth.

		Madagascar is an island lying off the east coast of Africa between 12° and 26' south latitude and 43° and 51' east longitude.
		In 1990, the population of Madagascar was estimated at 10,944,000 with an average density of 19 per km2, very unevenly distributed as already explained.
		The fact that Madagascar is an island has been and remains one of the principal sources of its profound unity, which goes beyond the diversity of the people, regions and topography.

	Madagascar: Stumbling at the first hurdle? - Paper 68, April 2003
		But Madagascar's impressive macro-economic growth rates, though they had benefited the townspeople were yet to be reflected in improvements in the living standards of the population in the rural areas, particularly in the areas of health and education, and some 70% of the island's 15 million people remained mired in poverty.
		On returning to Madagascar on 28 April 2002, Ratsiraka announced that he was opposed to a recount, and wanted to proceed directly to a referendum, since he continued to deny the legal competence of the HCC to re-examine the votes.
		Madagascar's location in isolation off the east coast of Africa also denies its rural poor the opportunities to improve their economic position in ways familiar to their continental counterparts, by informal trading, migration and even cross-border smuggling.

	THE SITUATION OF THE CHURCH IN AFRICA AND MADAGASCAR (Some Aspects and Observations)
		The constant growth of the Church in Africa and Madagascar and the witness of its faith are the «result of a way also marked by martyrdom and enriched by the generous fruits of holiness».
		Most of the responses from the particular Churches of Africa and Madagascar are in agreement over one thing: the fortunes of the Church in this vast continent are closely connected with the quality of formation of pastoral agents and the witness of their life of fidelity in consecration.
		The abundance of vocations in many parts of Africa and Madagascar is thus a sign of God’s predilection and of the action of the Holy Spirit in providing for the many needs of the young Churches and those of the entire Church.

		Although determined to keep Madagascar independent and not allow it to be turned into a French colony, Queen Ranavalona nevertheless formed a close and surprising alliance with an enterprising young Frenchman, Jean Laborde, who was shipwrecked on the west coast of Madagascar in 1831.
		Although as a castaway he was automatically a slave of the Queen, she soon found he could be useful to her in producing cannons, muskets and gunpowder, and he was apparently useful to her in other ways too, although never proved, it is thought he may have been the father of her only son.
		Within a few years of her death, the island had become a French colony, French had become the national language and Roman Catholocism the national religion.
