The sacred relic of King Toera, her skull, will be on Malagasy soil on April 15 according to the Kamamy royal family. In their side, the AOM dignitaries want to shed light on the solemn and non -festive character of this event.
“” The relic of King Toera will be given to us on April 14, it will probably arrive on April 15 here in Madagascar. As soon as it is on Malagasy soil, we will bring it back directly to its land “Says Piero Kamamy, of the royal family of the Sakalava human group of Menabe. A meeting with the members of the Assembly of Royal Dignitaries of Madagascar (AOM) at its headquarters in Andravoahangy, and representatives of the Kamamy family with the press took place yesterday morning. “” This is not an opportunity to celebrate, it is above all an opportunity to pay tribute “, Specifies Mektoub Omar El-Camille, vice-president of Aom. For these goalkeepers of the Malagasy tradition, make way for sobriety and communion for a patriotic martyrdom. A necessary temperance because France still houses 300 Malagasy skulls, including that of Prince Ratsimanga. The fight is therefore just beginning for Madagascar. And for these dignitaries of royal families, no need to celebrate rather than show respect. “” Madagascar is a pioneer and initiator of this law. It will be the first time in history that a skull will be returned In all the old colonies, said Marco Spotti, a close friend of the Kamamy family. This ” French law relating to the return of human remains “Was born mainly thanks to the Royal Family of Menabe, with the Malagasy and French State. Bringing an international dimension to this restitution of the sacred relic of King Toera on April 14. Beyond that ” It is for us to rekindle the sacred promise (Velirano) between Andriamisara, AndriantsIvongo and Andrianampoinimerina in AmboHipihaonana, that there will be no more war between Malagasy “Announces Fidy Valisoa AndriaManalina, President of Aom. A promise applied at that time but the arrival of the English and the French decided otherwise. The return to his lands of the sacred skull of King Toera is therefore a gesture of unity found for the Malagasy.
