Brickaville is a village in Atsinanana Region, Madagascar.
Also known as Ampasimanolotra and Vohibinany, Brickaville is located along Route nationale 2 (RN 2), 105 km south of Toamasina (the primary seaport of the country) and 220 km east of Antananarivo (the capital)[1] It is also situated alongside the Rianila river.
Its main industries revolve around sugar.[2]
In 2002, infighting between groups aligned with outgoing President Didier Ratsiraka and his successor Marc Ravalomanana led to the important Route 2 bridge over the Rianila being blocked, choking commerce between Toamasina and Antananarivo.[3]
