Ex-president Albert Zafy preaches for a consensus Transition

“The current Transition is everything but not a transition “. By these words the ex-chief of state commented the political situation of the hour. They were told during the national day celebrations in his home in Ivandry on June 26th. Just as the legalistic side which supports Marc Ravalomanana’s return, in sign of contestation, the ex-president’s supporters organized a celebration ceremony of the national day indeed, apart from that of the High Authority of the Transition in Mahamasina.  

For Albert Zafy, a real Transition should stem from a charter agreed by each and every party, of course including a genuine “reconciliation” and a common country management.  

Following the ex-president’s definition of the structure of a transition, Albert Zafy even warned the Transition driven by Andry Rajoelina, specifying that counter measures against it are not to be excluded, should the situation last. In clear, another block of objectors to the HAT is rising. 

One thing is sure, the Transition herd which seized power after mid-March’s Coup is on the verge of outraging an important part of the political class and the civil society soon. On the political field, whereas the contestation from Marc Ravalomanana’s supporters proves to be quite complicated, in the same time a new opposition to the Transition is already being born
