Marc Ravalomanana promising to come back, the HAT promising to arrest him

During “legalistic” rallies in Madagascar’s various cities, Marc Ravalomanana intervened live via phone line and repeatedly promised to come back very soon in the Great Isle.  

The latest days have, thus, been marked by the exiled President’s promise of “return”. Some medias supporting Marc Ravalomanana have been spreading the exiled President’s word as much as possible.  

“The population is suffering, the economic difficulties are well known, the leaders are perpetrating abuses…” reiterated Marc Ravalomanana. 

Naturally, the reaction did not wait for very long to emerge from the High Authority of the Transition. The arrest of Marc Ravalomanana has resurfaced in the present leaders’ speeches. An adviser of, Andry Rajoelina, the president of the HAT was keen on enumerating the possible motives of indictment of the president in exile, namely the acquirement of the Air Force One presidential plane, the repression of February 7th in front of the presidential palace of Ambohitsorohitra, the embankment of a terrain located beside the “Route Digue” and so on. That is to say all of Marc Ravalomanana’s actions that were the good old targets of street demonstrations back in January and February. The present speech from the HAT is, thus, just a playback of the place of May 13th. 

There is no more State in Madagascar” also declared Marc Ravalomanana during one of his phone line intervention. Rajoelina’s advisor replied that the former president is allowed to return to check that up, and then, “he will directly go to jail “; a barely veiled threat isn’t it.  

In such a tense context definitely miles away from any shadow of lull, the next four political mobility leaders’ summit in the setting of the binding Maputo contract is being prepared. The talks are programmed from November 3rd to the 5th in Addis-Ababa, Ethiopia.   

In order to emphasize his determination, the Marc Ravalomanana mobility is definitely enhancing its presence on home soil. Gatherings have been organized in different cities of the country; part of those was Antsiranana in the North, which has, for the first time ever, convened the partisans of the deposed president.
