High Authority of Transition: The power is turning paranoid

The clouds are grey on top of the High Authority of Transition, that we know for sure. The latest days have definitely been overshadowed by various calls upon “taking responsibilities”. When those words are addressed to the army, they mean “taking power”. Even Andry Rajoelina’s earliest allies are putting up a low profile for being convinced that the dead end is reached. 

For the second time, in a week, the presidential guard cleared for action on Saturday. Soldiers expected a raid on the palace of Ambohitsorohitra. Panic is drowning the top although no power takeover statement has yet been made public. 

Noel Rakotonandrasana’s dismissal has dented the armed forces further more. As a matter of fact, the pro-Rajoelina militaries are doing the job for their original adversaries. After General Rakotonandrasana, Colonel Charles Andrianasoavina is now taking the top of the headlines over. He was quick to deny any alleged attempt to lead a putsch, but he is anyway very far from succeeding into lowering tensions within what is left of his president’s support
