In 2009, February 7th´s shoot out swiftly turned into Rajoelina´s main argument in his « demonization » campain against Marc Ravalomanana´s regime. The former President was quickly labeled as murderer . 

Two years later, an increasing number of people is turning against Andry Rajoelina. He was after all the one who launched the assault on the palace, as a matter of fact. But, today, the very origin of the shots which claimed about forty casualties on that day is being addressed. 

Ex-president Albert Zafy dared pointing at Rajoelina´s herd, responsible for having ordered snipers to shoot as many people as possible. These declarations are now seemingly being confirmed by lieutenant colonel Charles Andrianasoavina´s report, a former ally of the Rajoelina sphere now in jail. According to the report, some state policemen took positions on the buildings surrounding the palace of Ambohitsorohitra without any official order. 

« These armed privates commanded by Commanders Lylison René of Rolland Urbain, took position on the ex-PSM, Treasure, Finance ministry, and Hotel du Louvres buildings, and shot at the demonstrators´ flanks », stated Charles Andrianasoavina in a letter written on January 17th.
