Residents live semi-submerged in Madagascar capital
ANTANANARIVO — Razafindramanga is a prisoner in her own home.
At 78 years old, she can no longer navigate the maze of wooden planks that pass for bridges linking the settlements in low-lying areas of Madagascar's capital.
The capital Antananarivo was built on hillsides, but recent arrivals from the countryside have settled among rice paddies in low-lying regions, pushing them up against a chronic danger that is about to return: flooding from seasonal rains.
Razafindramanga has already fallen once from the wobbly planks, injuring her head.
"Even in the dry season, there's no longer a passage without waist-deep water. For four years, I haven't been able to leave here to go to church or to the main road," she said.
While parts of the city flood every year during the rainy season that runs from December to February, in this neighbourhood, the water never goes away.
"It's the big new construction over there, and the debris in the canals" that keeps the water from draining, Razafindramanga said.
