The rest of the International Community has not yet expressed its stand about the issue. The mood is not much high for Marc Ravalomanana’s supporters. They have actually been waiting for the former president to come home for four years. They simply noticed that France has reacted as a consequence to the talks between Jakaya Kikwete, the Tanzanian President and current President of the SADC, and the French President Francois Hollande. The Malagasy former president’s fate was most likely sealed in Paris. Many observers keep on believing the exclusion of Marc Ravalomanana to be everything but a boost to a long term settlement of the crisis for the Great Isle. The Ravalomanana sphere is very likely to officially resort to a boycott, and deny credit to the incoming elections, as well as to the next “poorly elected president.”
France’s new ambassador in Madagascar has officially appeared before Andry Rajoelina. Francois Goldblatt met with Pierrot Rajaonarivelo, the transitional foreign minister as a rehearsal shortly earlier and declared that Marc Ravalomanana should not be allowed back home before the elections for the sake of “the appeasement process.”
