The legalistic side decentralizes the demand movement

At the end of week, the leaders of the pro-Ravalomanana demonstrations went to the city of Antsirabe, 170 km to the south of Antananarivo. They mobilized the local population to support the call for the exiled president’s return. It’s finally not a too complicated operation in a city massively supporting the exiled president’s cause. 

Since some weeks, sensitization rallies have also been organized in the peripheral townships of the capital. 

Today, the pro-Ravalomanana intends to regain the other main cities of the Great Isle’s different regions. A rally is already programmed for the next incoming days in Toliara (South) and Antsiranana (North). 

Latest pro-Ravalomanana demonstration attempts in provincial cities as Mahajanga (Northwest) actually ended with confrontations.   

Since the military Coup back in mid-March, the legalistic block militates for the exiled president Marc Ravalomanana’s return home and back to power. The High Authority of Transition have so far been ignoring such demand and ruled out any possibility to go home for the president re-elected by the end 2006. 

The next HAT’s project is to organize a new presidential pole by the end of 2009, an election without Ravalomanana. 

The international community insists however; the Transition has to involve all existing political sides in Madagascar.
