The Opposition member Manoela reported the death of five policemen shot down in Betroka

The police forces still appear quite reluctant to confirm the information. The political opposition keeps on confirming that five policemen would have been shot dead by Dahalo militiamen in Betroka, in the southern part of the country, in the run of the special forces’ latest large scale search and destroy operation. Inside the Magro square, during a meeting with Marc Ravalomanana’s supporters, Manoela, the passionate animator coming from the South, did not mince his words. “the ruling power will never concede that police officers keep on dying” he said.
