The Andry Rajoelina mobility questioning the projected Addis-Ababa Summit again

The Andry Rajoelina mobility members have been fustigating the ousted president Marc Ravalomanana during the latest few days, following his refusal to participate into the four mobility leaders’ summit dimmed to be completed in Geneva on October 17th. 

“Switzerland is a neutral country” said Désiré Ramakavelo, member of the High Authority of Transition. Such is his way to denounce Ravalomanana’s boycott. “Marc Ravalomanana is not entitled to impose the meetings’ schedule” argued Alain Ramaroson, estimating that the Transition has to move forward without the former president if it does not want to take part into the talks. 

At the time of a phone line press conference, Marc Ravalomanana actually announced that the four mobility leaders’ summit is being programmed for November 3rd up to the 5th in Addis-Ababa, Ethiopia.  

For the moment, the decision has not yet been made official. It does not hinder Andry Rajoelina’s collaborators from pulling rank on it. Alain Ramaroson is calling upon a new meeting in Geneva, and by so doing, stepping pressure up on Andry Rajoelina to have him turn down any summit programmed in any other location ever required by Ravalomanana again. 

The ousted president effectively argued that the meeting between the political chiefs should be taking place on the African continent. Shortly after the cancellation of the Geneva stage, three African cities have been proposed to welcome the summit between Marc Ravalomanana, Andry Rajoelina, Didier Ratsiraka and Albert Zafy: Luanda (Rwanda), Addis-Ababa (Ethiopia) and Nairobi (Kenya).  

Marc Ravalomanana’s refusal to go to Geneva could well be followed by Andry Rajoelina’s refusal to make to Addis-Ababa.  

This summit between the four signatories of the Maputo agreements will be the last one, whatever it takes, according to one International Contact Group member. Theoretically, the meeting is supposed to pave the way for an agreement about the Transition’s key positions, namely the president, the vice-president and the Prime minister.   

The Marc Ravalomanana mobility are turning down the outcome of the mediators’ meeting held in Antananarivo on October 6th, since it is dimmed to maintain Andry Rajoelina as president of the “consensual” and “inclusive” Transition, as it is meant to be according to the Maputo political agreements and in the Transition’s Charter.
