The Ravalomanana mobility is trusting the international community’s position

Regarding the contradictory interpretations of the agreements signed in Maputo by the four political mobilities, Fetison Andrianirina refrains from going further ahead in the debate. There is already a charter of values and political agreements, we must not step backwards », he said. According to the delegation chief for Ravalomnana’s supporters « , No one-sided measure must be taken by any mobility. 

could the agreement not be respected, it would draw consequences. The international community and the mediators are going to take particular measures against any mobility which would fail to respect whatever has been agreed by everyone « , insured Fetison Andrianirina. 

The international Contact Group’s mediator Edem Kodjo wasn’t surprised that each mobility has had a different interpretation of the charter signed in Maputo, and reminded that only the international mediation’s interpretation is valid. He is now inviting everyone to patiently wait for the establishment of the Transition’s instiutions, an operation which could take few days or more. 

The OIF’s messenger is estimating that most important is « to do whatever is necessary so that the country doesn’t drown in civil war « . It is therefore convinced that « the presidents are going to take the wisest decision « .  

Edem Kodjo confirms that « president Ravalomanana got his condemnations removed » but it doesn’t mean that he will immediately come back to the country. « We (NDLR: the international Contact Group), as official pledge for the charter, will decide whether president Ravalomanana must go back to the country or not « , he insisted. 

In the Ravalomanana mobility, the charter’s decisive quality is being taken prudently. « In Maputo, the Transition’s structure has been shaped up without any name designation » said Fetison Andrianirina on a moderating tone. The names of the Transition’s president and the vice-presidents are not yet known, the consensus on the Prime minister’s name is still to be found ». 

However, he is categorical on the burning question of the amnesty, by confirming that it has to be general and offered to everyone. Ravalomanana’s delegation chief insisted on words « immediately meaningless », concerning cancellation of the year 2009 political crisis linked charges. 

In the ranks of the Rajoelina mobility, the agreements of Maputo are far from satisfying. The fear of president Ravalomanana’s return to the country before the elections is presented as « a defeat for the popular movement « . The HAT is now playing a double game, it is consenting to stick to what has been written while it is betting on whatever hasn’t been specified in the agreements. For Rajoelina’s allies, only Marc Ravalomanana’s condemnation and disqualification will have a taste of victory.
