Politics
During the 1980s, the IMF imposed harsh austerity measures across Madagascar, leading to the cutting of a mosquito net program which was linked to an outbreak of malaria which killed thousands of people.[1] As well as the withdrawal of police, soldiers and government bureaucrats from the region. Following this, an anarchist community formed which made decisions via consensus which David Graeber argues led to a very low crime rate.[2]
