The soldiers are all but united on the issue related to president Marc Ravalomanana´s return. Not even the top command´s official statements are harmonizing

The army focuses on Marc Ravalomanana´s return

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.
