Political leaders in the sight of the HAT

The Maputo agreements are very likely to be soon history. The founding cornerstone of the agreements was reconciliation; now however, the situation has rather swerved toward confrontation. The wave of arrest of political leaders unwilling to subscribe to the HAT theory has definitely begun. Most of the “legalistic” movement’s leaders in favour of the president in exile, Marc Ravalomanana, are, henceforth, in the sight of the HAT soldiers. 

A couple of former parliamentarians have already been sent behind bars. Naika Eliane, former Senator, and Raharinaivo Andrianatoandro, former Parliamentary financial officer for the National assembly, have been incarcerated. Both figures are belonging to the Marc Ravalomanana mobility and physically took part into the second leg of the Maputo summit, beside the president in exile. 

Both TIM party members have, thence, enlarged the ranks of the jailed “legalistic” figures. After the signature of the Maputo agreements, the Ravalomanana mobility established the list of its thanes incarcerated and expecting for an immediate release. There are about forty people but, in the end, only ten have, so far, been set free.  

The anti HAT hunt has, thus, resumed in such situation. A long list of political leaders, who are happening to hamper Andry Rajoelina and his Prime minister Monja Roindefo, would have been established. They are to be suspected of causing rebellion against the authorities of Transition.  

As being convened, Raharinaivo Andrianantoandro was, for example, urged to come up with Ravonison Ambroise and Tabera Andriamanantsoa, two other politicians targeted by the police forces. 

Generally speaking, the HAT’s entire dirty job is completed by the Special Intervention Forces (FIS) commanded by lieutenant colonels Lylison René and Charles Andrianasoavina.  

The legalistic movement leaders have, logically, got used to be on the run. The unionist and MFM party member, Constant Raveloson, knows a great deal about it. He has re-surfaced after the signature of the Maputo agreements. Since some few days, this zealous animator of demonstrations of Marc Ravalomanana’s partisans is threatened anew by arrests, as many other politicians are. 

Within the next upcoming days, the situation can even get worse. Different political mobilities are planning to demonstrate in Madagascar’s main cities, of which Antananarivo, the capital city, in order to contest the HAT “unilateral” policy, fundamentally opposed to the Maputo agreements’ spirit.
