The government dispatched a ministerial delegation to Sirama Ambilobe to address a strike by 4,300 sugar factory workers, which began on October 31 over suspended wages, unclear recruitment, and management communication issues. Ministers Florent Soatiana, Bety Léonne, and Andrianiaina Rasoarahona visited the site, restored calm, and initiated tripartite talks with employees and management. Immediate measures include paying three months of back wages, continuing discussions to find lasting solutions, and preserving the factory’s operations and regional economic stability.
