On 6 September 2025, the presumed skulls of King Toera of Menabe and his two royal guards departed from Belo-Tsiribihina to reach Ankaranka, the ancestral site of Ambiky. This is where King Toera once lived and reigned, and where the massacre of 5,000 people and his own death took place. There, the relics will be interred in his tomb, alongside the rest of his body. The procession was greeted by women performing traditional Daba music, while village sages, believed to be spirit-guided, offered blessings to all who sought them, marking a deeply spiritual moment of return and reconciliation with the land of origin.
