Constitution in cartoons

A comic book has been penned in Madagascar to make it easier to get to grips with the constitution.

A cartoonist has prepared a story of four young holiday makers travelling around the country and finding themselves in various scenarios that illustrate different aspects of their country's constitution.

Madagascar's constitution was last altered juts a few months ago, but with political leaders there still arguing about the formation of a transitional government following a coup in March, there is talk that the constitution could be altered again by the end of next year.

For many people these changes go unnoticed - perhaps because the matter seems too technical or too complex.

A project to use cartoons to illustrate the constitution seeks to change that. From Antananarivo, Christina Corbett reports.
