HAT: the OIF cannot pledge recognition to the HAT led process

The privilieged relations between the dictating regime and France had no impact on the OIF’s position concerning the Malagasy crisis’ developments. The expulsion of Madagascar’s alleged representative from Montreux’s summit because a relatively major scoop, but failed from capitalizing into a major political shock. Chiefs of French speaking states and governments have called upon ” a quick recovery of Democracy in Madagascar”. In other words, the HAT unilaterally led way is not recognized as a democratic process.

“We are once anew calling upon all of the Malagasy political and civilian counterparts to committ to settle the crisis in a peaceful and trustful dialog, in compliance with the genuine consensual mindset”, statement produced by the OIF’s 13th Summit.

Only the outcome of this dialog is to be paving the way for any electoral schedule. The OIF is requiring the earliest possible completion of free, reiliable and transparent elections, accepted and supported by the international community.

THe HAT’s diplomacy is coping with this umpteenth setback. Shame is no concern for this regime, rather a booster though. The authority is reinforcing its links with nations for which democracy is no priority, like Turkey and Iran. “Madagascar is not isolated, international recognition will follow the elections’ completion”, said the HAT’s foreign minister. Hyppolite Ramaroson optimistically mocks the position adopted by some international community members: “they are pretending to deny us recognition, although they want us to pledge support to their candidacy to the UN security council”

Madagascar’s putschists are still miles away from democratic ways compared to those from Niger. The OIF actually paid tribute to the positive evolution and to “the Nigerien transitional authorities’ progressive capitalization of its word pledging support to a consensual, democratic and inclusive conclusion to the crisis”. Somehow is this expected from the Malagasy dictating regime. The HAT has repeatedly been straining to patch up shadows of inclusivness while ruling the genuine counterparts out, without meeting success. “Even if the transitional regime is not being recognized, it keeps on working for citizens”, emphasized minister Ramaroson. For lack of convincing anyone else, the Foreign minister is straining to convince his countrymen
