Questions swarming about February 7th

The transitional ruling power and the association of victims are planning a remembrance ceremony to take place on February 7th in Antaninarenia. Former President Marc Ravalomanana, currently in South Africa, got indicted in the case, but still, the investigation supposed to be independent struggles to get its start. When the putsch was developing back in 2009, Marc Ravalomanana and the presidential guard were pointed at for causing some thirty casualties in front of the presidential palace in Ambohitsorohitra. The tragedy took place on February 7th, 2009. The former president got trialed by the transitional justice, denounced however a politically motivated action. On the strength of several testimonies, Ravalomanana’s defenders actually do not lack the needed arguments happening to bring transitional leader Andry Rajoelina’s manipulations to light. Colonel Charles Andrianasoavina already revealed the presence of snipers tasked to bring as many people down as possible on this occasion, a matter of fact corroborating the report produced by General Raoelina, presidential guard’s number one, according to which gunshots directed at the palace were clearly identified. Four years after the fact, the debate remains quite as hot as before
