Colonel Richard Ravalomanana: “it was not Malok’ila 9”

The humanistic colonnel is displaying evidences of respect for human rights when quite willingly granting protection to a suspect willing to surrender, isn’t he? “This soldier was afraid to be arrested the hard way; so I told him to come to my office and pretend to be a  civilian member of my family”, proudly told officer Ravalomanana. What an revolutionary arrest script? In the end, the man whose name has not been mentioned by the suspects arrested in Ambohijanaka found another way to deal with the special intervention force. He would have surrendered in Andohalo on the following day.  

In the run of the aborted putsch attempt, Colonnel Raymond Andrianjafy’s case remained problematic . Fort Duchesne’s man in command boldly and successfully challenged all those expecting to throw him behind bars on charges of alleged complicity. Fortunately, colonel Ravalomanana’s diplomacy came to the rescue, and drew the issue to a moderate outcome: “only the investigation can prove colonel Raymond’s involvement. The commander of the national state police’s special intervention forces ought not to oppose it”, he suggested.  

The state police’s elements are the actors of a genuine national scale action blockbuster aren’t they? Do take a look at how colonel Ravalomanana narrated the adventures state policemen arrested in Itaosy in the run of a successful police operation on the RN7. “The thefts wearing state police uniforms took position somewhere near an inhabited area. They stopped a suburban transport vehicle and stole 40 millions of ariary from a man “.  

“When the alarm rang, a couple of mounted police officers from Antsirabe rode after them. Thanks to efficient communication systems, a check point was immediately installed in Manandona. The thefts did not escape capture later on, and their weapons were seized. These bandits whose mastermind was a genuine state police officer, were captured in possession of an impressive arsenal: AK47 automatic guns, telescopic, hand guns, ammunitions… They are now charged with several hold ups as well as kidnappings of” karana “, Indian born migrants”.  

During press conference, colonel Richard Ravalomanana could not help addressing the events of Ambohijanaka. “It was in no way  a movie, five actors opposing the present regime cannot be involved into it as if it was just a movie”, he argued. For the sake of convincing the audience, the colonnel carried on with cinema lesson courses: “When a scene is being shot, fighting is not real, but one of the suspects didn’t simulate his bruise, did he? Has any actor been hurt during Malok’ila 9’s shooting?” The Emmo reg’s commander definitely cannot bear such skepticism: “They talked about simulations by the time of the makeshift bombs issue although there have been four casualties”.  

Hery Raharisaina, from the Ravalomanana mobility is as so equally convinced that the events of Ambohinaka were simulation. Such a masquerade is become a tradition shortly before relevant meetings, particularly when someone is straining to deter a specific mobility from taking part in it. “Had it been true, the army would have long been broken apart”, he said.  The former democratically elected parliamentarian denounced an operation aiming at tarnishing president Ravalomanana’s reputation. “A peaceful movement which has been denouncing a violent putsch originated dictatorship has no interest in behaving as its opponent”, he concluded.
