About the time in Ambatofolaka
Ambatofolaka sits at latitude -21.09, in the tropical band, so day length here swings only a little between midwinter and midsummer — today's 11h 30m is one point on that curve, not a fixed value.
Sunrise today lands at 06:08 and sunset at 05:39 local time, giving 11h 30m of daylight. Those figures come from the city's own coordinates (-21.09, 47.30) rather than a country-wide average, so they match what you would actually see from a window in Ambatofolaka.
