Postcard From Fort Dauphin, Madagascar

In Madagascar:

• A new hydropower plant is built.   
• Two years after a coup, a new transitional government is born - without Western help.
• Foreign companies compete to control a recently-discovered precious metals mine.
• A town is deeply divided over a centuries old practice of putting newborn twins up for adoption.
• And an amazing video (from space) of the Aurora Australis passing overhead.
