A day after the presidential elections, life goes back to normal in Madagascar. Only a few days ago, one of the capital’s busy streets was covered with umbrellas bearing the picture of Andry Rajoelina that were distributed to vendors as part of the incumbent’s campaign. Today, there is not a single umbrella left. “They are gone because the elections are over, we took them out. People are struggling to survive, they avoid getting involved in politics,” says shop owner, Rakotonirna Omnisoa. IMAGES AND SOUNDBITES ARRANGED IN SEQUENCES
