would say, one of the 20-30 species of shrew tenrec if it is.. (as in not the spiney ones.. there are 4 subfamilies of tenrecs, spiney is one, furred is a second...)
good link here on tenrecs  IUCN/SSC Afrotheria Specialist Group: Tenrecs tho.. it has to be said, the more i look at it.. the more i think it is a shrew.. maybe a musk shrew?  N
