In Madagascar island legitimate government of President Ravalomanana Marc has been thrown mostly because of food crisis that still hits third-world countries. But also partly because of Ravalomanana's un-achieved deal with south Korea giant Daewoo, granting them a 99-year loan of a pretty large area of arable zones - about half the surface of Belgium plus The Netherlands, meaning not as great as Financial Times estimated, NOT HALF OF MADAGASCAR as FT evilly stated. For the sake of objectivity, one should know that Madagascar total surface equals France's+ Belgium's + The Netherlands' + tiny Luxemburg area. Not so hard to figure out how reasonable the deal was.
What still remains is sooner or later Madagascar, however it could be ruled (democratically or not), will sign equivalent if not harshest deals with its historical predators wearing EU clothes or some Hedge funds yearning to invest - to steal would be much more appropriate - in countries they already qualify as failed states...
