Il a osé le dire: Il ne faut jamais être "trop content de soi" et ne pas devenir "trop tranquille", a lancé tonton Macron hier à des "jeunes talents" d’Afrique lors de sa visite à Madagascar. Aucun risque pour le chef de l'Etat, dont l'entourage a relancé les rumeurs d'une nouvelle dissolution de l'Assemblée à l'automne. Encore une grenade dégoupillée qui a affolé son propre gouvernement et le Parlement.

"So my work is always trying to celebrate the achievement of Africans and the contribution that Africans have made – not just in Africa, just through world culture generally. Some might call it, you know, 'deconstructing the canon'. But I think it's important that all of our voices can be heard and registered."

This is a #grass‽ From giant bamboos to maize and the common lawn ryegrass, #Poaceae can be quite variable. #Panicum cupressifolium from #Madagascar has minute leaves, making it look like a #cypress (hence the name).

"Presumably no one is buying Teslas there," John Denton, head of the International Chamber of Commerce (#ICC), told Reuters, an ironic reference to the improbability of #Madagascar being able to placate #Trump by buying upmarket US products.
Madagascar is not alone: the bluntness of the formula as applied to economies which cannot afford to import much from the US inevitably leads to a high reciprocal tally: 50% for #Lesotho in Southern #Africa, 49% for #Cambodia in Southeast #Asia.

That's how the volcanic Australian territory of #HeardIsland & #McDonaldIslands in the #Antarctic ended up with a 10% tariff. The #penguins got off lightly, you might say.
But #Madagascar - one of the poorest nations in the world w/GDP per capita of just over $500 - meanwhile faces a 47% tariff on the modest $733M of exports of vanilla, metals & apparel that it did with the US last year.

Take this penguins!
They will never treat US economy anymore
Is it possible that Trump did take the film #Madagascar too seriously?
- Lesotho / Saint Pierre and Miquelon 50%
- Cambodia 49%
- Laos 48%
- Madagascar 47%
What led the US administration to believe that the taxation of US products in Madagascar is 93%?

A Madagascar cable car spotted in the wild today. (Squint and you'll see it.) Still not operational. Still not what 95% of Malagasy need – water, electricity, sidewalks, bike lanes. But...

« Aujourd’hui je vais vous raconter l’histoire d’une des plus grandes rébellions contre la #colonisationFrançaise. Elle s’est déroulée en 1947 à #Madagascar.
Elle a fait entre 11.000 et 100.000 morts et pourtant personne n’en parle. Il faut dire que ce n’est pas une histoire lisse ou on peut désigner des gentils et des méchants. C’est une histoire très complexe faite de trahisons, de paradoxes et de doutes. »

As #German expansion increased the European dimensions of the so-called Jewish problem, and as the realization grew that the millions of #Jews living in Germany's new Lebensraum in the East might never fit into tiny #Palestine, the idea of dumping millions of Jews on the island of #Madagascar gained popularity among certain circles of German policy makers.

"From Kenya to Madagascar, massive effort aims to put seagrasses on the map"
Mongabay Environmental News · From Kenya to Madagascar, massive effort aims to put seagrasses on the mapIn 2019, scientists set out to map the extent of seagrass in Seychelles, an island nation off the eastern coast of Africa. There, they hit upon a startling number: More than 90% of the country’s “blue carbon,” or the carbon stored in marine ecosystems, is contained within seagrass meadows. Under the Large-scale Seagrass Mapping and […]
