UN : one more dictator willing to do away with the US-American point.

In New York’s UN building, the HAT leader denounced an argued difference in the ways to deal with various crisis settlements, and waved the good old national sovereignty argument as well as any other dictator willing to do what he likes. The dictator’s message was, this time around, crystal clear: neither President Barack Obama nor the Secretary of State Hillary Clinton is entitled to decide who will run the incoming presidential election in Madagascar. Only the supreme guide is.

“In the name of universal values and principles, whoever matching the requirements dictated by the electoral law is allowed to enjoy the right of running elections, as pledge by the state’s fundamental law deemed to be widely respected”. And Andry Rajoelina even drew his puppy’s claws when adding something up like: “only the Malagasy people will decide whom it will entrust its destiny, and not the influence or the pressure from foreign powers. Only the Malagasy People will decide who will rule Madagascar”.

Would the complete lack of foreign involvement ever contribute to the restoration of long term peace prospects in Madagascar? Andry Rajoelina called upon the UN to oppose inequalities into the ways to deal with political crisis settlements: “the reality on the ground must be held into account, just as the popular will, in order to take the right decision”. So do the United States as a matter of fact. They perfectly know what the real situation is all about.

“The Malagasy people needs to recover its complete independence through free, fair, and therefore democratic elections” pleaded the HAT leader while trying to do away with the widespread doubts about his ability to rule anything at all and bear a democratic way at the same time. He even babbled a solution of his: “at best, you should have trust into us, respect your promises and let us go about our responsibilities our way”. The endless transition’s leader got it right at least on one major point: the international community does not trust him, and will not move a single finger without believable steps forward.

The Opposition took the mickey out of Rajoelina’s petty performance on the UN scene, and appeared far more infuriated by his selfishness when politically defending his mere personal interest. In short, Andry Rajoelina wants to run the presidential race as candidate, and years to deny this right to President Marc Ravalomanana through the rule of law, since “no one is above the law, no one is allowed to expect impunity”. And how are we supposed to call a putsch maker in command?

The Ravalomanana sphere’s Mamy Rakotoarivelo reacted to Rajoelina’s speech uttered at the UN in New York, as following: “Malagasy laws are no match for international laws. The Cotonou agreement clearly states that no putsch maker must be allowed to run elections as candidates. So do the African Chart on Human Rights as well as the basic democratic principles”. He equally welcomed the United States’ far-sighted behavior, as well as France’s apparent low profile. Then he displayed his concerns related to the handful of countries supportive of Rajoelina.

According to Mamy Rakotoarivelo, “only the People is entitled to chose, and not the transitional leader”. He pointed at Andry Rajoelina as the one who opposed Marc Ravalomanana’s comeback home, supposed to have come true on September 18th, 2011. The president of the transitional congress consequently mobilized his forces: do what it takes to have the exiled President back home before October 18th. In the run of a meeting deemed to take place on October 7th and 8th, he SADC and the Troika will have their say about it
