Madagascar’s president likely to present to them his roadmap to end the crisis
Madagascar’s President of the Highest Transitional Authority, Andry Rajoelina is likely to have a stormy meeting with the military on Monday the 3rd of May on how to end the year-long political crisis in the Indian Ocean island state, an insider has warned.Preparatory meetings were held on Sunday morning within the army ranks and within the police force. A joint meeting took place in the afternoon during which the senior officials of the two groupings aired their views on the situation.
There are several divergent views on what should be the solution to the prevailing political crisis, but some officers were of the opinion that Rajoelina should be removed, others proposed the name of former prime minister Monja Roindefo to head the country.
There were also certain people who simply wanted the return of former president Marc Ravalomanana. There was also mentioning of the military takeover and this has left everyone confused.
But most of the senior army officers agreed that they would allow the current Madagascan leader to present to them his roadmap to end the crisis. They officers said they would meet again after the presentation of the roadmap, so that they could decide on the next action, according to the same source.
Behind the scenes, there have been talks that Rajoelina is likely to form a military-civilian government which is essentially composed of technocrats.
Rajoelina went to Pretoria, South Africa late week to meet with his main rival Ravalomanana in what he described as the last-ditch effort to reach an agreement.
The 36-year-old Highest Transitional Authority leader ousted Ravalomanana in March 2009 with the backing of the military after leading months of street protests. Last year, the two men and two other former presidents of the island reached a deal to end the crisis. But the so-called Maputo agreement failed soon afterwards amid disputes over power sharing.
