Lalao Ravalomanana visists her mother at the hospital

The SADC, the Ravalomanana sphere and the transitional ruling power in Madagascar finally reached a deal to let former president Marc Ravalomanana’s lady to recover her native  island after four years spent in exile in South Africa. In July 2012, Lalao Ravalomanana also tried the same operation, and got driven away by the ruling power at the airport of Ivato. Her mother has been laying in a hospital bed in Antananarivo for the latest weeks, but the opportunity to visit her was granted to her daughter, the former first lady, only now. Transitional leader Andry Rajoelina denied her every occasion to do anything but calling in to her sick mother. The visit was literally meant to have a humanitarian purpose. The matter of fact did obviously not please some of Marc Ravalomanana’s supporters, considering that the crisis settlement Roadmap signed back in September 2011 requires the unconditional right to recover home soil to be granted to ever political figure kept out in exile.
