Armed: an inclusive roadmap to be clarified

The latest meeting between the leader of the High authority of transition and the armed forces’ officials in Iavoloha has displayed the former TGV colonels’, now TGV generals’ loyalty to Andry Rajoelina. Andre Ndriarijaona and Bruno Razafindrakoto are, for the time being, asking the one they lifted up to power for accounts about his way to rescue the sinking train from the current political dead end. “The armed forces are asking the State and the power in place to draft a clear roadmap to end up the crisis”. The armed forces would apparently pledge no full support to Ambohitsorohitra’s latest move capitalized by the Rajoelina mobility’s latest debate.  

The joint chief of headquarters and the national state police’s are requiring transparency concerning the genuine State’s available capacities. The HAT is being called to make its very own potential public. It would concern ” the financial balances, the electoral budget, and public investments” now that financial support is being suspended by the international community. Both armed forces’ leaders are asking the HAT to tackle the unification of the nations’ various forces around a transparent electoral showndown meant to be accepted by the Malagasy people as well as by the international community.  

Both armed forces’ officials subsequently “ordered” opposition’s politicians to quit demonstrating their political opposition. For being systematically mastered by the police forces, the hard way, these events are stressing tensions within the society. The army would be losing in popularity. It called the population to refrain from panic despite rumours. Many baseless rumours concerning a potential military uprising have been turning the authorities mad these latest days. As for the capitalization of the fourth Republic, the armed forces’officials summoned the opposition to contribute to the TGV process and to comply with the schedule drafted by the ruling authorities.  

Even though the CEMGAM and the Faneva corps are apparently stemming up pressure on the HAT leader, they do absolutely not question Andry Rajoelina’s authority. Both recent generals’ performance is actually serving the HAT ends by standing as the ruling power’s last resort. The requirements are everything but ultimatums. The capitalization of the HAT schedule remains the armed forces’ priority. The kind of election to be run and its deadline would be a done deal. The reactionaries are very officially summoned to get into the transitional train. 

In the end, the armed forces have officially pledged support for the TGV train. As an outcome to of the meeting between Andry Rajoelina and the armed forces’ officials in Ivoloha, the HAT produced no revolutionary statement, and restricted to a simple communique. The dictatorship’s leader is holding the armed forces’ unity as a sacred thing, definitely unsuited to political ends . Andry Rajoelina is going to express his views concerning the country’s political situation. He will make his TV show on Wednesday April 14th, 2010.
