Everything slowly comes forth concerning the meeting between the exiled president Marc Ravalomanana and the transitional leader. The permanent office of the SADC declared that the organization of this meeting between both major wire pullers in this Malagasy crisis would be following its course. France, the IOC and the AU made their availability out the blue though, which became a cause for mistrust related to an alleged attempt to regain control of Madagascar. Lire la suite »

When being back home after attending the Rio +20 International Conference, the transitional leader recalled the commitments made in the name of Madagascar in front of an international audience. Politically speaking, he promised to become the example and show evidences of accountability in face of the crisis. The transitional chief of the armed forces carried on with social pledges by promising to get capitulation from dahalo thieves and murderers within two or three days. Lire la suite »

La date de la rencontre entre le président en exil Marc Ravalomanana et le chef de la transition Andry Rajoelina crée déjà la discorde avant qu’elle ne soit fixée. Avant ou après le 26 juin, dans quels pays, les deux mouvances ont deux positions opposées ! En tout cas, on revient au point de départ avec la rencontre entre les deux principaux protagonistes de la crise politique à Madagascar. Lire la suite »

The SADC is bound to organize face to face talks between the main wire pullers in this Malagasy political crisis in order to settle it down once for all. The idea stemmed from Marc Ravalomanana. Andry Rajoelina, with every single day more and more stranded in the ropes, has no other choice but giving in, complying and accepting to listen and speak with the legal president illegally ousted by his putsch in 2009. The regional organization would entrust the referee’s whistle to Joaquim Chissano, Mozambique’s former president. Lire la suite »

The HAT and the Rajoelina political sphere, both continuously dented by the burden of their illegal power, have made a priority out of the organization of hurried presidential elections in 2012. The CENI-T (the local electoral commission) refused to issue any schedule, and made it tactfully clear in order not to irritate quite a tense ruling power, namely by keeping away from ruling this possibility to cast elections in 2012 out. Beatrice Atallah and her staff promised to eventually do what it would take so that preparations take a shorter time than the 8 months estimated by the United Nations’ experts. Lire la suite »

Thousands of people demonstrated in the capital city center, longing for freedom of speech and calling upon the Place of Democracy to be reopened, and were entitled to tear gas and rubber bullets as an answer from the HAT’s police forces. While heavily armed masked soldiers were holding the front line, their general Richard Ravalomanana got its legal parade ready, namely the legal defense of a private property, that of Antananarivo’s Urban Commune.

Each and every decision stemming from the ruling power concerning the crisis caused by the teachers' strike was unilateral. The national education minister’s big stick policy fell through, now is the prime minister taking charge with a better proposal to MGA 25 billion and a fewer threats. Will teachers resign themselves with 11% of their claims and stop the strike? Lire la suite »

After being dealt with by the HAT’s police forces with tear gas, Mamy Rakotoarivelo is now the Rajoelina regime’s next political target. The President of the transitional congress is being summoned by the ordinary criminal court, as a matter of fact a flagrant violation of the roadmap. The victim denounced the resumption of the unilateralism policy and announced that the Ravalomanana political sphere is to keep away from whatever parliamentary and governmental meetings.

The Ravalomanana political sphere’s transitional parliamentarians and ministers were not able to access the "place of democracy" in Ambohijatovo. The HAT’s police forces did what it takes to disperse the sphere’s supporters basically expecting to listen to the officials’ report about the current political situation concerning the implementation of the roadmap. Political repression is, just as usual, being conducted and legally covered by law enforcement charges, since opposition’s demonstration in this "prohibited place" is not and would anyway never be authorized.

Will the almost unanimous vote of the Amnesty Law for the sake of National Reconciliation be reconciling the Malagasy? The year 2009’s putsch makers’ virtual majority in both parliamentarian chambers actually fixed the debate from scratch. The challenge remains the same: Andry Rajoelina must not have to confront Marc Ravalomanana in the presidential race. The amnesty law in its current shape happens to be thoroughly contradicting the roadmap’s mind. Its purpose is to rule the odd ones out Lire la suite »
