  Tour of Madagascar: Part Six
The route from Tana to Tamatave is one of the busiest on the island, as the latter city is the country's major port, so most everyone was able to point me in the right direction.
Tamatave, also known by its official Malagasy name, Toamasina, is the second city of Madagascar, in terms of both size and cultural and economic importance.
Tamatave's version was under a covered pavilion, so the food was not lying about in the baking sun, as was the case in many other places.

Tamatave is Madagascar's main port, and the road between it and the capital is the best and busiest in the land, though by Western standards the traffic is still light.
Tamatave itself must qualify as one of the top 10 pothole capitals of the world.

 BBC News | AFRICA | Madagascar's great divide
Outside Antananarivo, the pivotal port of Tamatave on the east coast is seen as the heartland of incumbent President Didier Ratsiraka, but it is much more divided than that, split perhaps down the middle in its political persuasion.
The reason Tamatave is interesting is because of of its strategic position - and the fact that the five of the six provincial governors loyal to Didier Ratsiraka now recognise it as their capital city.
There are two between Tana and Tamatave - the one at Brickaville on the major river crossing, a serious blockade refusing to allow any petrol tankers through - or any trucks that might help the economy of the official capital.

During a time of civil unrest in his native Madagascar earlier this year, Randrianja, a professor of history at the University of Tamatave in Madagascar, became a potential target as an advocate of democracy.
He made most of the 250-mile trip in June by car and bus, but because about 50 kilometers of the road was impassable, “I had to walk for two days to get to the capital,” he said.
A colleague on the medical faculty at the University of Tamatave had been beaten, and Randrianja decided to leave and get his family to safety.

 afrol News - Ravalomanana now sole President of Madagascar
Ex-President Ratsiraka yesterday left Tamatave together with an estimated 20 near persons, including his wife, daughter and two brothers, arriving Mahé, Seychelles, in the afternoon.
Reports from Tamatave however indicate that the island's main port will not make resistance when pro-Ravalomanana troops are expected to arrive.
The BBC also reports that the Tamatave mayor - ex-President Ratsiraka's own nephew - in a radio address had told people "to go and welcome President Ravalomanana's troops at the entrance to the town." President Ravalomanana therefore seems to get control of the entire island within short and without further bloodshed.

Better known as Tamatave, Toamasina -where I was born- is the second biggest town in Madagascar.
In the late 18th century, its harbour attracted the French, and Napoléon I sent his agent Sylvain Roux to establish a trading post there.
