ANTANANARIVO, Madagascar — NATURE’S FURY OR CRIMINAL NEGLECT? Cyclone Gezani didn’t just hit Madagascar—it EXPOSED a global system that has ABANDONED the world’s poorest to die. The death toll is climbing, with at least 36 souls lost and a staggering 18,000 homes OBLITERATED, but the real scandal is that this was not just an act of God. This was a MASSACRE BY INDIFFERENCE.
For years, world leaders have pontificated about climate aid while Madagascar, on the frontline of a crisis it did NOT create, has been left to drown. Its people live in flimsy shelters, PRESIDENT MICHAEL RANDRIANIRINA now begging for scraps from the international community after the storm laid waste to 75% of a major city. Drone footage reveals a post-apocalyptic wasteland in Toamasina—a port city CRUSHED while the world looked away.
This is the THIRTEENTH major cyclone since 2020. Each one more vicious, each death toll more horrifying. The pattern is clear: WE ARE WITNESSING ETHNIC CLEANSING BY CLIMATE. The global north’s emissions are the weapon, and the forgotten islands of the Indian Ocean are the sacrifice zone. “Help us,” the president pleads. But the silence from wealthy capitals is DEAFENING.
This isn’t just a weather report; it’s a live broadcast of a FUTURE we chose for the most vulnerable. A future where entire nations are ERASED, not by a single storm, but by the calculated inaction of the powerful. As the floodwaters recede, they leave behind one disturbing question: How many more must die before we admit this is a choice?
