On my way back after TED (Technology - Entertainment - Design) conference ... the day after the black saturday (7th feb. 2009) we stayed hours and hours at the airport of Charles de Gaulle (Paris) - the Malagasy who are going back home have been affected by the massacre front of the Palace Ambohitsirohitra - some discovered the turmoil through the web at this time.
We didn't know each over. Some fellow traveller was from Jordania - going back home because of the recession ( closure of a their factory) - some was based in Europe going to visit family or for business ... from all other the world all going to bloody home, in our bloody country.
.... Our feeling was the same at that moment. We have realised that we are not different but all Malagasy from Madagascar and this Massacre have no justification.
You can also see how we are equiped - camera, mobile phone - and also how we are conected and the rôle of the media and Internet medium on this crisis - Unfortunately it took me a month to share this 4 min video with our jurassic internet connexion - this is My first record from my Zi6 Pocket Video Camera - Gift at TED - Thank you Kodak
