33 | In anticipation of trouble on January 21, some shopping centers rushed their goods and closed, to avoid looting such as on Black Monday (January 26, 2009) and to avoid damages, as what happened to the stores in Ivato. | Ho fisorohana ny mety ho fisian'ny rotaka ny 21 Janoary amin'ny fandrobana tahaka ny tamin'ny Alatsinainy mainty (26 janoary 2009) sy ny fahapotehana miaraka aminy, dia nanangona ny entany sy nanakatona ny toera-pivarotany ny tsenam-barotra, tahaka izay nitranga tamin'ny fivarotana tao Ivato. |
