There was a rebellion against the French colonisers just after the 2nd World War, by leaders of MDRM (Movement for the Development and Renovation of Madagascar) and the Menalamba (guerrillas between the two world wars). Some members of the 2nd republic (Ratsiraka regime), including the Prime Minister, who died after accidents are buried at the Mausolée.
