Is Independence Day of Madagascar – June 26
The late 18th century, the island of Madagascar was ruled by a fragmented assortment of shifting sociopolitical alliances. Beginning in the early 19th century, most of the island was united and ruled as the Kingdom of Madagascar by a series of Merina nobles. The monarchy ended in 1897 when the island was absorbed into the French colonial empire, from which the island gained independence in 1960. The autonomous state of Madagascar has since undergone four major constitutional periods, termed republics. Since 1992, the nation has officially been governed as a constitutional democracy from its capital at Antananarivo.
The Independence of Democratic Republic of Congo – June 30
Independence Day is celebrated on June 30 in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DR Congo) after Joseph Kasa-Vubu was chosen to be president. A long history of armed conflict followed, still leaving many people hungry for not only for ethnic independence, but also basic human freedoms. In recent years, the number of people participating in Independence Day celebrations has significantly decreased. With widespread disease and famine, huge populations of people are still dying off in the DR Congo. Civil unrest, anti-social behaviour and long wars have left deep scars on the people of the DR Congo, leaving many people to believe that independence still doesn’t truly exist.
