The Magro square “sealed”, access to demonstrators denied

The miltaires nailed a “Private Property” signboard on the Magro square’s entry gate. In other words, opposition supporters used to rally there are, from now on, banned from doing so. It all sounds like the twilight time for the three mobilities led demonstrations in support of the Maputo agreements. 

Since April 2009, since Marc Ravalomanana’s partisans were denied access to the so named Place of Democracy located in Ambohijatovo, the legalistic demonstrators had to pull back behind the Magro square’s fences, previously sheltering a store and the TIM presidential party’s rally place.  

Rallies have from time to time come to gather nothing but one hundred people all for most, as a proof of the population’s tiredom, but it is the first ever one year long contestation movement in Madagascar’s history.  Andry Rajoelina, the transitional leader, and his collaborators have always been playing a deaf ear at demonstrators’ claims. They used to call upon Marc Ravalomanana’s return to power at first, then the opponents to the HAT are currently claiming the implementation of the Maputo and Addis-Ababa agreements.
