The colonel Vital dismisses the general Rakotonandrasana and takes over

Concerned Ambohitsorohitra is personally getting in control of the armed forces . The national defense minister has been dismissed. “In face of the controversial armed forces’ situation causing doubts and uncertainties in the state’s management”, Andry Rajoelina parted with one of his former colonels who contributed to his rise to power in March 2009. “The defense ministry will be commanded by my Prime Minister until the governmental reshuffle “.  

History is re-enacted: a colonel who will be in charge of the Defense ministry even though Camille Vital is no more an acting military. He argued not to be willing to keep his new suit for too long. The HAT Prime minister is almost displaying embarrassment for having to let Ampahibe down. “During this short period, we are going to tackle the resolution of the military assembly”, he said, as a matter of moderating the armed forces’ potential malcontent. So many expectations have emerged from these men in uniforms’ national conference.  

Colonel Camille Vital thereupon strains to divert the focus on the military unifying conference. But he failed to bring explanations to the putsch attempt episode. “The armed forces have no intentions to impose any military direction” he stated, “I believe that the Malagasy people keeps on trusting the army. So why on earth dismissing the defense minister? The HAT Prime minister conceded that some suspicious meetings took place. High ranked officers, some of them from the island’s regions, as well as political figures have been there.  

Concerning the decision to kick general Rakotonandrasana out on the touch line, the colonel Vital rated his popularity as too low to be kept on top. “It is not a referendum, if he is a military bound to serve his nation, he will make no objection”, argued the Prime minister. As a matter of moderation, the HAT government’s chief is putting alternation forth by underlining that no one will entitled to any position for life.   

According to Camille Vital, the decision to cast general Rakotonandrasana away from his position was his. “We are in a transitional period, so we have to manage it as best as possible” he argued. The defense minister was on the verge of altering the HAT roadmap. Even though colonel Noël was one of the “heroes” of the year 2009 putsch, the year 2010 Prime Minister does not believe his departure to be much mourned within the next few days. Camille Vital believes that the people will not be much concerned, provided that the will to move forward to elections and the 4th Republic prevails.
