Charles Andrianasoavina used to be one of the HAT´s active main collaborators in the run of the putsch operation against Marc Ravalomanana for having supported the CAPSAT regiment´s mutiny in March 2009. His confession confirming the putsch and the truth related to February 7th´s shoot out deeply embarrassed the HAT. Colonel Charles actually wrote letters down which confirmed the presence of non-governmental snipers shooting civilians down on February 7th, 2009. According to some of his relatives, a “mysterious” illness does require surgery, as several small cavities appeared in his stomach and his guts.
