Last update: 6 hours agoOlympic Qualifying: Madagascar’s women face South Africa in the first leg of their LA 2028 qualifying tie on Friday, with the return match on Tuesday. Both games are in Bloemfontein because Madagascar lacks a compliant venue; Friday’s match will be played behind closed doors at Madagascar’s request. El Niño Threat: Farmers in southern Madagascar report poor crops and scarce water as El Niño strengthens. The region, already scarred by famine, faces heightened drought and food-security risks. Public Health: Plague remains present in Madagascar, which—alongside the Democratic Republic of Congo—accounts for many of Africa’s cases. The suspected Russian lab case is unconfirmed, and experts say modern testing and antibiotics make a wider outbreak unlikely. Currency: Madagascar’s ariary was the best-performing currency among those featured in a World Bank chart tracking exchange-rate changes since February.
