National warning: This advisory covers the whole country.
Brief summary:
The Ministry for Foreign Affairs and Trade Promotion advises all Maltese nationals to exercise a high degree of caution when travelling to Madagascar. The political environment in Madagascar is very fragile. Since the 2009 coup d’état, the country has experienced political instability. President Rajoelina was inaugurated on 19 January following two rounds of elections. Whilst violence during the elections was low, political demonstrations and other protests may still occur. Due to the possibility of violence, it is vital that travellers avoid large gatherings and political demonstrations, including those taking place in the area around Independence Square (“La Place du 13 Mai”) and the Town Hall and in the centre of Antananarivo. Travellers should ensure to follow the instructions of local authorities and monitor the local media for information on the latest updates.
