The Transition´s devoted military stratum, currently in command, makes no secret of its opposition to Marc Ravalomanana´s come back, and expressively emphasizes its point whenever a round of international talks is taking place. But this merely involves one part of the armed forces.
Another and rather relevant part of the army is holding Marc Ravalomanana´s return as inevitable, and that only its conditions are to be negotiated.
In clear, soldiers are pondering, whether the former president would be escorted and protected or handcuffed when back home. Shall a loud and stunning return or rather a stealth one take place? Putting up a low profile when recovering home soil would be gaining favor, for the sake of avoiding potential arrest attempts.
