Things actually used to be different. Back in July 2012, Lalao Ravalomanana and Gergana Georgieva got straight away evicted by the transitional ruling power’s forces from the airport as they were attempting to recover Madagascar for the first time in the latest 4 years. Yet, things have changed ever since. Squads of reporters instead of soldiers welcomed the former first lady in Ivato. When asked about former president Marc Ravalomanana’s potential return home, she merely declared: “we take the matter before God”.
