                          About Public Holidays in Madagascar

                          Madagascar's Independence Day (June 26, from France in 1960) sits alongside Martyrs' Day (March 29), marking a 1947 uprising against French colonial rule that was violently suppressed - a somber counterpart to the more celebratory independence anniversary three months later.
