Antananarivo is again the target of a heinous act of kidnapping. Since the end of May, about eight young women have been kidnapped in the Malagasy capital. In most cases, they reappear a few hours or days later.

No thefts, no sexual violence, and no serious injuries. But tests carried out on the victims revealed traces of drugs such as amphetamine, methamphetamine, cocaine, and opiates, according to the Ministry of Health. The cases of missing girls in recent days in the Malagasy capital have left the authorities speechless. The circumstances of the disappearance are similar. They are women aged between 15 and 25, all kidnapped either by force or by diversion, by people traveling in black 4X4 vehicles with tinted windows. A few days after their disappearance, they are left abandoned by the same vehicle in a state of unconsciousness for the most part.

According to a press release from the Ministry of Public Health, the victims were drugged, either by inhaling a soaked handkerchief or by absorbing a mixture of products that could cause a loss of consciousness. Drugged and traumatized, they all show calm behavior while sleeping, but are extremely agitated when awake. They find it difficult to recognize their loved one and speak out of turn. For the moment, their condition does not allow them to be questioned about the situation.
