  [ EN ] The remoteness of the Maharivo valley enabled it to stay aloof from the succession of political centers in the Menabe. At the height of the Maroserana monarchy the region’s inhabitants did not hesitate to attack the Sakalava sovereigns’ cattle, but the benefits of such activities were to remain strictly clandestine. Since the Mahabo monarchy had allied itself with the Merina, cattle plundering became a patriotic activity which no longer required clandestiness. The wealthy mpanarivo could again appear in the lineage structures of the village power. The repression of cattle thefts by the colonial authority imposed again going under ground for a significant part of the village activities. The visible structures of the power correspond to the agro-pastoralist system of the valley and its immediate surroundings. The invisible structures remained important and were the main sources of the current hoarding process which favor the mpanarivo whose power relies upon networks of powerful, branched out and discreet clients.

  [ MLA ] Ny fahalaviran’ny lohasahan’i Maharivo no nahafahany niavaka tamin’ny fifamahofahoan’ny foibe politikan’i Menabe. Tamin’ny andro namirapiratan’ny fanjakan’ny Maroserana dia tsy nihambahamba ny mponin’io faritra io nandrava ny ombin’ny mpanjakan’i Sakalava, nefa kosa dia voatery notazonina ho tsiambaratelo tanteraka ny tombontsoa azo tamin’izany. Nony nifanohana tamin’ny Merina kosa anefa ny fanjakan’i Mahabo, dia zary asa fitiavan-tanindrazana ny halatra omby ka tsy natao an-tsokosoko intsony. Tena hita niverina teo anivon’ny rafi-pitondrana mitety arana teny an-tanàna indray ny mpanarivo. Kanjo, ny famaizana ny halatra omby nataon’ny fahefana mpanjanatany dia nampiverina indray ny asa an-tsokosoko teo anivon’ny tanàna. Raha ny marina dia nifanandrify tamin’ny rafi-pitondrana hita maso ny rafitry ny fiainan’ny mpamboly sady mpiompy tamin’ny lohasaha sy ny manodidina azy akaiky. Ireo rafitra tsy hita maso ireo ihany koa no fototry ny fomba fangalarana omby ankehitriny izay manome vahana ny mpanarivo, satria ny fahefan’ireto mpanarivo ireto dia miantehitra indrindra amin’ny ladim-pifandraisana matanjaka, misandrahaka sady sarotra arahin-dia misy eo amin’ireo mpankato azy.
