South Africa Minister speaks out on Madagascar
This statement is the clearest indication yet that SA (South Africa) does not recognise Madagascar’s government led by Andry Rajoelina.

International Relations and Co- operation Minister Maite Nkoana-Mashabane yesterday questioned the judicial process that sentenced Madagascar’s former president, Marc Ravalomanana, to life imprisonment last week.
This statement is the clearest indication yet that SA does not recognise Madagascar’s government led by Andry Rajoelina.

“The outcome of the case should not be isolated from the political” developments in Madagascar, Ms Nkoana-Mashabane said. “I don’t think that judgments that are passed in absentia will help in resolving problems in Madagascar,” she said.
Foreign policy analysts seem to concur with the minister’s statements. Siphamandla Zondi, director of the Institute for Global Dialogue, told Business Day yesterday that “it is very obvious that this court case is tainted by the political situation” in Madagascar. “The judgment may not be political but the very idea of using a court to settle a political case is very problematic,” Mr Zondi said.
Tom Wheeler, a foreign policy expert at the South African Institute of International Affairs, said he was “not surprised” by the minister’s comments. “It’s just a way of neutralising the man (Mr Ravalomanana) by giving him a life sentence,” Mr Wheeler said.
He said SA and former Mozambican president Joaquim Chissano “have put in a lot of effort to resolve the political situation there”, but to no avail.
Mr Chissano was appointed by the Southern African Development Community to resolve Madagascar’s political stalemate between factions supporting Mr Ravalomanana and incumbent Mr Rajoelina.
Mr Ravalomanana was sentenced to life imprisonment for allegedly instructing soldiers to viciously suppress a protest march in Madagascar last year when he was still president. About 30 people died and several were wounded in the capital Antananarivo, official reports indicated.
This incident culminated in a coup, which forced Mr Ravalomanana to flee to Swaziland and settle in SA last year. This coup was met with an angry response from of the African Union (AU) member states.
The AU summarily suspended Madagascar’s membership .
An official at Madagascar’s embassy in Pretoria yesterday declined to comment on whether an official request will be made to the South African government to return Mr Ravalomanana to his country.
Madagascar does not have an extradition agreement with SA, according to information from the Department of Justice’s web portal . Mr Ravalomanana is the second head of state to be granted asylum in SA.

Conscients des effets néfastes de la crise qui perdure actuellement, le président Ravalomanana avec son équipe affichent une volonté totale dans la recherche d'une solution pour le pays. La mouvance Ravalomanana salue aussi l'effort de la communauté internationale représentée par l'équipe conjointe de médiation. Elle "accueille favorablement la position exprimée par la SADC, l'union africaine et l'ensemble de la communauté internationale". La mise en place au pays d'un bureau de liaison ne fera que réconforter les parties prenantes et les inciter ainsi à aller de l'avant dans la résolution de la crise.

Hipoka tanteraka ny efitra Ravinala tao amin’ny Hotel Carlton Anosy androany. Nisokatra tamin’ny fomba ofisialy io maraina io tokoa ilay fiaraha-midinika hitadiavam-bahaolana ivoahana amin’ny krizy karakarain’ny Ankolafy Madagasikara. Voasolo tena avokoa rehefa mety hery velona hita eto amin’ny firenena. Na ny ara-tsosialy na ara-toe-karena indrindra ny mpanao politika,. Isan’ny namaly ny antso ihany koa ireo Ampanjaka sy Tangalamena maro avy any amin’ny Faritra ary nitsodrano izao hetsika itadiavam-bahaolana izao satria “efa mamono vahoaka izao krizy izao ka tsy maintsy atao izay ivoahana aminy” hoy  ny Ampanjaka Antanosy  Bibiasy Carlos. Tonga nanatrika izao lanonam-panokafana izao ihany koa ireo mpanao politika sasantsany avy amin'ny ESCOPOL ary nahazo hafatra manokana avy amin'ireo Ampanjaka

Sarin'ny dinika androany

Taorian’ny lanonanm-panokafana dia niroso avy hatrany tamin’ny asa ireo mpizaika. Natomboka tamin’ny famelabelarana ny momba ny “Accords de Maputo” sy ny “Acte additionnel d’Addis-Abeba” ny dinika. Avy eo dia afaka nametraka fanontaniana mikasika ireo fifanarahana ireo ny mpanatrika rehetra.

Ny tolakandro kosa dia asam-baomiera avy hatrany no natrehana rehefa avy nifandimby  namelabelatra momba ny “blocage” amin’ny fanatanterahana ireo sonia efa vita  Manandafy Rakotonirina sy Fetison Rakoto Andrianirina.
Navitrika tokoa ireo mpizaika tamin’ny fandraisana anjara nadritr’izany asam-baomiera izany. Nizara vondrona efatra izy ireo ary samy nanangona ny olana sy ny vahaolana mifandraika amin’izany sakana tsy ahafahana manatanteraka ny fifanarahana tany Maputo izany. Nitarika ny vaomiera roa voalohany Rakotoamboa Jean Louis sy Rakotovazaha Olivier samy avy amin’ny Ankolafy RAVALOMANANA. Ny vaomiera roa hafa kosa dia notarihin’i Ramisandrazana sy ny Pastera Edouard avy amin’ny Mouvance Ratsiraka sy Zafy Albert.
