A meeting of the Malagasy political mobility chiefs convened by the international mediators

The political chiefs signatory of the Maputo agreements are invited to talks in Addis-Ababa Ethiopia from March 8th to the10th, but the HAT leaders’ partisans are pressing him on end, not to take part into them. The round is, however, very likely to be cancelled, could any of the four leaders fail to confirm his presence. The African Union’s Commission has taken the mediating process over from the International Contact Group by organizing this meeting. New international sanctions are expected to come into force from March 17th if the situation fails to evolve. Andry Rajoelina seems to hold on to his national consultation meant to take place on March 4th and 5th as a solution to the political crisis, despite the foregone boycott of his opponents
