CENIT : would Beatrice Attalah be the man of the situation ?

Andry Rajoelina and his supporters unleashed as furiously and ruthlessly as never again since the year 2009 and its darkest days against the CENIT’s leading President. Beatrice Attalah did not abide, stood tall to the will of TGV & Co., and got rewarded with an ordered beating from the ruling power controlled public press and the HAT’s supporters. The offensive was led on several frontlines at a time. The postponement of the elections was merely a decoy.
The postponement in question actually caused nothing but more concerns to Rajoelina’s supporters: “the CENIT changed the electoral order once, so it was supposed to do it the way the transitional president wanted it to be done.” Well, as a reminder, the transitional leader tried to enforce a new electoral order, and failed to an amazingly strong opposition from Transitional Prime Minister Beriziky.
Beatrice Attalah has failed to defend the interest of “the people”, said the usurpers of the population’s legitimacy.   In spite of representing scores of political groups, the CENIT is being blamed by Rajoelina’s supporters of be hand in glove with the international community concerning Madagascar’s national fate. In short, the electoral commission was supposed to execute the transitional leader will and challenge the international community at his command. Rajoelina’s proposal of inverting the electoral order was actually addressed, and quickly rejected for lack of agreement on the issue.
The attempt to enforce an umpteenth accomplished fact, namely the will to upset the electoral calendar in order to favor Rajoelina’s supporters, failed…let alone the threats of violent consequences, could the transitional leadership’s will not be executed. Beatrice Attalah has become overnight the target number one. Thank God a growing part of the political class and the International Community are longing for an electoral process as free and fair as it may possibly be. The United States of America stood as first in defense of the CENIT by loudly considering that the transitional ruling power was not entitled to have any say about the electoral program. Even the Indian Ocean’s Community did not dare to challenge the CENIT’s prerogative and rather supported the commission’s technical reasons to keep the calendar the way it was.
So, now that the storm is over, the CENIT may resume its job and tackle the completion of the electoral process. Census campaigns may expect to be carried on until April 28th 2013. The electoral commission reckons with a complete data upload by June 5th. The electoral register will be fit for service by July 8th 2013. The issue of national identification cards will resume nationwide. The ministry in charge does not agree on the issued number of 800 000 people in need of such an item, and believes it to be excessively extrapolated. Since Rajoelina has given up his intentions to run the presidential races, the electoral process’ financial backers appear vastly more relieved and eager to inject funds into the completion of the process.
As for Beatrice Attalah, she called upon everyone to keep nerves, for the postponement of the elections was nothing but a technically motivated decision, and urged the concerned institutions to draft all legal articles deemed to rule the incoming elections. The sensible amnesty does top the list of those issues. The CENIT would like it to be settled before the electoral register gets ready. Some would-be-candidates are likely to be out of the presidential starting lineup if no amnesty comes true until April 23rd.
