Madagascar: The situation is still bubbling
It is said that the situation is a little quieter, even if several military trucks are always in position near the gendarmerie compound and still some sporadic shootings are regularly heard. The shooting made five badly wounded persons, and a dead man.
For the moment the police forces are in a “Stand By” situation, while negotiations are taken by telephone. The Prime Minister and the Army chief of staff would be negotiating with the gendarmes, trenched in their camp and in the surrounding hill.
In any case, these confrontations have obviously a political connotation, because the movement of the clerics who wanted to organise a forbidden religious worship (cult), as well as the gendarmes, do not hide their opposition to the Andry Rajoelina’s regime.
