From Brussels to Syrte, a new battle for the legalistic people

Brussels will attract the attention of Marc Ravalomanana’s supporters more especially on Monday July 6th. The High Authority of Transition, controlled by putschist Andry Rajoelina, will have the opportunity indeed to defend its cause before the European Union during the” political dialogue” to which representatives of the de facto leaders of the Great Isle are invited. 

In parallel, Marc Ravalomanana’s supporters abroad, regrouped within the GTT group, also intent to make their” voice ” heard. They project to demonstrate in front of the seat of the European Union in Brussels to prove that the putschist regime didn’t have the full support of the Madagascan people to rule the country.  

In Syrte, during the 13th summit of the African Union, a delegation driven by the Madagascan president in exile has been defending the necessity of a quick return to constitutional order. Without surprise, the African Union, following the SADC’s steps, recommends the pursuit of the dialogue to sort the Madagascan crisis out.  

Both concerned sides in the political crisis, Marc Ravalomanana and Andry Rajoelina, as well as the other parties that participated lately in the negotiation cycle under the aegis of the international community appear eager for talk resumption. In reality though, the situation is far more complicated. Andry Rajoelina rules out the possible return of Ravalomanana in the Great Isle. The exiled president’s supporters yet only long for his return to power. A real talk for deaf.  

The resistance capacity of Marc Ravalomanana’s supporters is currently put to the test. The leaders of the “legalistic” movement don’t want to let down. Therefore the alliance named FMA, for the defence of legality “, has been formalized. The crisis has now been lasting five months. The Great Isle’s recent history demonstrated that power struggles generally settle, one way or another, after six or seven months. 2009 wouldn’t be an exception. However, July will be decisive in this crisis. Therefore, on the Magro place, the legalistic gatherings already speak out of “the last straight line “.
