Three young private sector’s leaders are going to represent the Great Isle in the run of the Young African Leaders’ Summit in Washington, under the aegis of the US President Barack Obama.
The Young African Leaders’ Summit is a US occasion to celebrate 10 African countries’ independence year
The forum is going to be held in Washington on August 3rd and 5th. The US President will have the opportunity to address the African continent together with young trade leaders supposed to be their country’s engines.
Madagascar’s representatives will equally get the opportunity to shape up ties with American and African partners, and plead for their country’s development.
The son of the exiled president, Marc Ravalomanana, made it clear that deterrents would not have him leave the country. Tojo Ravalomanana and his wife returned from exile by the end of 2011. The High Authority of Transition recently ordered a violent search of their home in Andranomanelatra, 140 kilometers away in the south of the capital city. It would not prove enough to have them recover South Africa. "We won´t be the ones returning to Daddy, he is the one who will soon join us," he bravely declared. His father, Marc Ravalomanana, is still in South Africa, banned by the ruling power from coming home.[See]
French uniforms, officially playing the role of instructors, are on the Malagasy soil as a matter of fact. In the midst of a political crisis, they are intending to train the armed forces as explained by the Malagasy Ministry of Defence. Considering that the transitional regime, already rejected by the population´s majority, no longer owes its rule but to a fringe of the army, those news are not contributing to lower tensions. French military involvement in the Malagasy political crisis is however no scoop any more.[See]
MADONLINE already described at the beginning of the year 2009´s crisis any common ground between Marc Ravalomanana and Andry Rajoelina as a thorough utopia. Three years later, Rajoelina confirmed by stating that there will never ever be any deal between him and Marc Ravalomanana. The crisis settlement roadmap may now officially be considered as dead.[See]
Homeland Security department soldiers, search warrant and machine guns in the hands, surprised former president Marc Ravalomanana´s son by night on February 6th. They were armed men instructed to search his home by the transitional Presidency. The purpose of the search has not been revealed. The Ravalomanana sphere leaders did not hesitate to call it "persecution" against Marc Ravalomanana´s relatives. Tojo, the family´s elder son, Tojo, has so far been the only one who dared the odds when returning home after almost three years in exile.[See]
The Ravalomanana sphere´s reactions are far from matching the extent of former president´ supporters´ wrath. Sphere leaders seemingly find it hard to keep in control. Scores of opponents to the ruling regime are now calling upon a withdrawal from the government. The High Authority of Transition unmistakably proved its will to thwart the implementation of the roadmap. Lalao Ravalomanana was banned from coming home after a three years long exile abroad, although she is absolutely not legally charged in anything.[See]
Collaborators and hard liners supportive of the High Authority of Transition are longing for definitely getting rid of the roadmap drawn up by SADC, and preparing a fake putsch to this end. The main stake is the way to keep former President Marc Ravalomanana away from the island´s ground whatever it takes, although such a homecoming is allowed and required by the roadmap as part of the crisis settlement process.[See]
The Marc Ravalomanana sphere is getting ready to welcome milady Lalao Ravalomanana, the exiled president´s wife. She is supposed to reach Ivato´s airport on Saturday, February 4th . Having a member of the Ravalomanana clan recovering home soil seems to be boosting the former President´s supporters who have so far been waiting for almost three years. The movement´s leaders announced Lalao Ravalomanana´s homecoming as "great news".[See]
The meeting between the committe addressing the recovery of political stability and the transitional parliament did not meet the expectations. A couple of hours long talks proved not enough to agree on the possibility to turn any amnesty bill up to the end of this month[See]
Madagascar´s Union of Magistrates is intending to complain against the HAT´s Minister in charge of Internal Security, Arsene Rakotondrazaka, following the two months long and finally unsuccessful request of the national police chief´s resignation. The certain number of police officers in the run of the Rehavana Michel case proved not enough.[See]
The KMDT formerly devoted to the High Authority of Transition and to Andry Rajoelina, is now willing to stand out. This political group now requires Rajoelina´s resignation and intends from now on to play the hard way. The situation is increasingly complicated for the empowered political parties.[See]
