Promises for extended economic aid and long term program planning on the part of donors and other international actors slowed as the administration of President Marc Ravalomanana drew towards political action. Considering the large number of challengers to the presidency, and the volatility of the opposition, Country Stability remained notably high. The downward trend in the Country Stability index in November 2006 is a reflection primarily of a single event, and its repercussions: the weak effort by General Andrianafidisoa (Fidy) to stage a military challenge to the Ravalomanana regime. • The first half of 2006, like much of Ravalomanana’s presidency, was characterized by high levels of foreign assistance. The World Bank initiated its program planning for its 2007-2010 Country Assistance Strategy (CAS) even while it promised immediate support for the ailing water and electricity parastal, Jira sy Rano Malagasy (JIRAMA). The European Union, World Wildlife Fund, and French, Japanese, German, U.S., and Chinese governments also committed new aid packages or project support (see “Madagascar Semi-Annual Risk Assessment: December 2005-May 2006”). In the second half of 2006, such promises continued but were fewer. On 4 July 2006 Norway promised 247,000 €. On 12 July 2006 the Japanese government promised technical assistance to help the government of Madagascar implement the Madagascar Action Plan (MAP). On 14 July 2006 the World Bank gave an installment of US$ 40 million to fight poverty. On 24 July 2006 the African Development Bank committed 113 billion MGA (42.25 million €) to help fight poverty. Other funds came by way of elections support (from the UNDP, which managed the presidential elections funds), U.S., Switzerland, and European Union, among others. The downward slide in the International Cooperation index score is therefore reflective not of a turn away from the international community but rather a temporary slowdown in the quantity of assistance in the run up to the new elections and the preparation of new funding packages. • Calling General Fidy’s action an attempted coup is a reach. General Fidy intended to run as a presidential candidate but was barred on the grounds that he neither properly paid the 25 million MGA (9,355 €) registration fee nor had his paperwork properly witnessed. His candidacy was therefore nullified by the High Constitutional Court on 16 October 2006. This was not the first of General Fidy’s problems. In July 2006 Fidy began critizing the Ravalomanana regime. By 14 July 2006 this had © swisspeace FAST Update Madagascar | June to November 2006 | Page 4 culminated into General Fidy’s demanding forgiveness for soldiers who supported former President Didier Ratsiraka during the 2002 crisis that nearly Balkanized the country. On 10 August 2006 the Association des réservistes pacificateurs de Madagascar (AREPAM), an association of reservists who helped Fidy win control of Central Madagascar on behalf of President Ravalomanana in 2002, accused Fidy of bribery and, on 11 August 2006 General Peter Behajaina, Minister of Defense, threatened to sanction Fidy for his criticisms of the government. On 21 October 2006, General Fidy accused the president’s party, Tiako i Madagasikara (TIM) of trying to bribe him. Tensions between the onetime hero and the administration were high by the morning of 17 November 2006 when leaflets were found saying “Marc Ravalomanana is no longer president of the Republic. The army has taken power under the leadership of General Fidy.” Fidy was denied entrance to military headquarters. Though he denied spreading the leaflets, on 18 November 2006 soldiers loyal to Fidy took over the airport, clashing with other troops and leading to the death of one soldier. President Ravalomanana, returning from a trip abroad, had to divert his plane. This was, however, as far as it went. For a brief period the 100 or so soldiers supporting General Fidy held siege to the military barracks at Bani. Fidy fled and, at time of writing, is in hiding. At no point did he take control of radio stations, state house, or any other critical infrastructure. • What makes the event an impact on Country Stability is less the coup attempt itself and more the reaction. The international community roundly condemned General Fidy’s actions with statements by the US Ambassador, French Ambassador, and others. Leading Malagasy civil society organizations, such as the Malagasy Council of Christian Churches (FFKM) and the National Committee for Election Observation (CNOE) also denounced destabilizing efforts generally and Fidy specifically. However, of the 14 presidential candidates, 8 supported the spirit of General Fidy’s remarks – that the president is illegitimate – and pressed the government to eschew pursuing him. Yet, rather than demonstrating a strong voice of dissent, the impotence of their collective voices demonstrated the lack of organization within the opposition. It is this lack of organization within the opposition that has led to six months of rhetoric with quite limited social action attached. • There were other scattered events that lent to a decrease in overall security in Madagascar during the second half of 2006. Most events followed a common pattern of relatively low-grade social tensions. For instance, mob violence erupted on 9 August 2006 in Anlavory when a mob attacked policemen who were trying to remove squatters. On 21 October 2006 several hundred youth attacked police at a concert of South African reggae singer Lucky Dube. In all, however, such violence has been limited relative to the social tensions elections bring. On 15 November two grenades were thrown into the Madagascar Broadcasting System (MBS) radio station owned by President Ravalomanana. On 2 December 2006, a day before the election, a grenade was thrown into the garden of Antananarivo mayor Patrick Ramiaramanana (who works closely with President Ravalomanana). The state also exerted force on scattered occasions. Police in Toamasina threw tear gas at a crowd on 7 October 2006. Furthermore, the government launched a strong attack on the forces of General Fidy after the general fled in November. Yet, despite these limited events and a general tension the run up to the elections took place in relative calm. Madagascar had something to prove after the last presidential elections in 2001 led to crisis. In light of this it would seem the run-up to the elections is a triumph for stability and a good indicator for Madagascar’s future. © swisspeace FAST Update Madagascar | June to November 2006 | Page 5 Conflictive Non-Government and Government Events (relative) Average number of reported events per month: 127 Indicator description: see appendix Risk Assessment: • June and July 2006 continued a moderation trend in both Conflictive Government and Non-Government Events. However, the run-up to the elections brought out an expected array of opposition activities. There was a sharp increase in Conflictive Non-Government Events in November 2006. This reflected the failed military action of General Fidy and its aftermath (see “Country Stability and Cooperative International Events” above). We can expect a sharp downturn in conflict level from this single event and its aftermath in December 2006 and January 2007. The lasting consequence is the interplay of party politics, their leaders, and their social relations, in the lead up to the elections. • What is most notable in Conflictive Non-Government Events is that they are few. Indeed, the trend was calmer in the September 2006 to November 2006 period than in the majority of the two years that preceded this. This signals a lack of organization and capacity on the part of the so-called “radical” opposition as well as the moderate opposition. • In “Madagascar Semi-Annual Risk Assessment: December 2005-May 2006” we wrote that the “Three National Forces (3-FN) umbrella party, formed in late 2005 by the “radical” opposition leaders former President Prof. Zafy Albert, former National Assembly Speaker Pastor Richard Andriamanjato, and former FJKM leader Reverend Edmond Razafimahefa, support electoral reform as one would expect. Yet these calls have reverberated much further, coming from Herizo Razafimahaleo of the Leader-Fanilo party, Pierre Tsiranana, the son of Madagascar’s first president who was appointed governor of Mahajanga by President Ravalomanana, the RPSD, AKFM, the Vice

  • Crise Malgache
    Actuelle de l’Ifri L’Afrique en questions 5 : Crise malgache Sylvain Touati Mathieu Pellerin Février 2009 1 © Ifri Crise malgache L'ampleur des violences qui frappent Madagascar ont peu surpris les observateurs. Les signes avant-coureurs de la crise sont apparus sur l'île depuis plusieurs mois dans un contexte social et politique tendu. Cette crise trouve ses racines dans un mouvement de contestation à l'encontre de la gestion du gouvernement du président Ravalomanana des questions économiques, politiques et sociales. Les parallèles avec la crise politique de 2002 sont nombreux mais restent toutefois insuffisants pour expliquer la situation actuelle. Mathieu Pellerin, journaliste et consultant, commente la crise en détaillant les fractures politiques, sociales, économiques qui tiraillent la société malgache et les rivalités personnelles qui aujourd'hui opposent le président malgache et le maire de la capitale, Antananarivo. 2 © Ifri Sylvain Touati ; Mathieu Pellerin / Crise malgache Sylvain Touati : Où en est la situation aujourd'hui à Madagascar ? Mathieu Pellerin : Andry Rajoelina1 et Marc Ravalomanana2 se sont enfin rencontrés ce samedi 21 février grâce à la médiation dirigée par le FFKM3 (Conseil des Églises chrétiennes à Madagascar). Les deux parties sont parvenues à un consensus sur des préalables à l'ouverture de négociation : arrêter toute incitation à la violence, cesser les provocations et les dénigrements médiatiques, les manifestations et troubles à l'ordre public, les poursuites et arrestations d'ordre politique. Jusqu'à maintenant, ces préalables ont été respectés, et les deux camps se sont de nouveau retrouvés le lundi 23 février. Ces préalables réunis, l'heure est aujourd'hui à l'établissement de conditions pour que les négociations puissent aboutir à une solution de sortie de crise.

  • Madagascar : Un Conflit D'entrepreneurs ?
    02. conjoncture 113 27/03/09 11:30 Page 152 152 CONJONCTURE Mathieu Pellerin Madagascar : un conflit d’entrepreneurs ? Figures de la réussite économique et rivalités politiques Les affaires Daewoo, Boeing et Viva ont été les éléments déclencheurs de la crise malgache. Toutefois, la portée de ces événements ne peut s’apprécier qu’au regard du message qu’ils véhiculent : la remise en cause de la figure de la réussite économique incarnée par le président Ravalomanana. Celle-ci a été habilement récupérée par Andry Rajoelina, érigé de facto en opposant « naturel » depuis son élection à la mairie d’Antananarivo, de telle sorte que le caractère entre- preneurial de son engagement a été minimisé. Il n’est pourtant pas négligeable et rappelle à certains égards l’engagement de Marc Ravalomanana en 2002. Le mythe du petit laitier à vélo d’Ambatomanga, devenu roi du yaourt de Madagascar, est bien connu sur la Grande Île. Il évoque la trajectoire de Marc Ravalomanana, dont l’aventure entrepreneuriale a débuté en 1977, dans le district de Manjakandriana, où il a implanté sa première usine. Son entreprise a pris une dimension industrielle en 1982, grâce à un prêt de la Banque mondiale d’un montant de deux millions de dollars. Le directeur général de l’entreprise Tiko est rapidement devenu un homme d’affaires reconnu et il a utilisé cette image pour conquérir la mairie d’Antananarivo en 1999. À cette fin, il avait créé un mouvement, Tiako Iarivo (« J’aime Tana»), dont le nom faisait écho à celui de son entreprise. Les photos le montrant guidant sa bicyclette chargée de lait sont emblématiques de la réussite malgacho-malgache de ce jeune entrepreneur qui a consenti beaucoup d’efforts pour parvenir à ses fins.

  • Los Vampiros De Madagascar
    LOS VAMPIROS DE MADAGASCAR El siguiente artículo está situado en torno a 2001, durante el gobierno del presidente Marc Ravalomanana Por Magus y Alexander Weiss LA ISLA DE LA LUNA Madagascar (en malgache: Madagasikara), es un país situado en una gran isla situada en el Océano Índico, frente a la costa oriental de África. Se separó del resto de continentes hace unos 80 millones de años, y durante mucho tiempo sus animales y plantas evolucionaron al margen del resto del mundo, hasta el punto que todavía en la actualidad más del 90 % de su flora y fauna son endémicas de Madagascar, no existiendo en ningún otro lugar del planeta. De la misma forma, la isla de Madagascar fue uno de los últimos lugares del mundo alcanzados por la expansión de la humanidad. Quizás fue ocasionalmente visitada hace miles de años, pero los primeros restos de comunidades humanas no aparecen hasta el siglo IV a.C. y sus primeros habitantes se confunden con el mito y la leyenda. No llegaron de la cercana costa de África, sino que afrontaron una larga travesía a través del océano, procedentes de la lejana Indonesia. La llegada posterior de emigrantes africanos también dio lugar a una mezcla heterogénea que constituye los cimientos de la civilización malgache. Posteriormente llegarían comerciantes, esclavistas y piratas árabes y europeos, que se asentarían en precarios asentamientos en la costa de Madagascar. En parte debido a la presión de los extranjeros y también a las luchas de poder, hacia finales del siglo XVIII en Madagascar había surgido un poderoso reino que abarcaba la mayor parte del territorio, pero que a pesar de ello no consiguió hacer frente al avance y conquista del imperio francés.
