    Madagascar’s 2009 Political Crisis Lauren Ploch Analyst in African Affairs October 7, 2009 Congressional Research Service 7-5700 www.crs.gov R40448 CRS Report for Congress Prepared for Members and Committees of Congress Madagascar’s 2009 Political Crisis Summary Political tensions on the Indian Ocean island of Madagascar between President Marc Ravalomanana and Andry Rajoelina, the former mayor of the capital city, escalated in early 2009, culminating in the President’s forced removal from office. In preceding weeks, over 135 people had been killed in riots and demonstrations. Under intensifying pressure from mutinous soldiers and large crowds of protestors, Ravalomanana handed power to the military on March 17, 2009. The military then transferred authority to Rajoelina, who has declared a transitional government. Rajoelina’s “inauguration” as president of the transitional authority was followed by days of protests by thousands of supporters of Ravalomanana. Several subsequent demonstrations have led to violent clashes with security forces. Negotiations in August between the parties led to the signing of an agreement in Mozambique to establish an inclusive, transitional government, but Rajoelina subsequently appointed a new government seen to be primarily composed of his own supporters. Southern African leaders and Madagascar’s opposition parties rejected the proposed government, and negotiations in Mozambique resumed. On October 6, the parties announced that they had reached agreement on posts in the new government, which will be led by Andry Rajoelina until new elections are held. Ravalomanana reportedly agreed to the arrangement on the condition that Rajoelina would not vie for the presidency in those elections. The agreement must now be implemented, and some observers question whether members of Rajoelina’s former administration will adhere to the new arrangement.

  • Evaluating the Explanatory Value of Brahimi and Ahmed’S Seven Deadly Sins of Mediation: the Case of the Malagasy Mediation of 2009-2014
    EVALUATING THE EXPLANATORY VALUE OF BRAHIMI AND AHMED’S SEVEN DEADLY SINS OF MEDIATION: THE CASE OF THE MALAGASY MEDIATION OF 2009-2014 by Nthati Masupha Student number: 29400512 A dissertation submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree MASTER OF SECURITY STUDIES Department of Political Sciences, Faculty of Humanities, University of Pretoria Supervisor : Prof. M Schoeman APRIL 2019 DECLARATION I declare that this dissertation, which I hereby submit for the degree Master of Security Studies at the University of Pretoria, is my own work and has not been previously submitted by me for a degree at this or any other university. …………………………… Nthati Masupha April 2019 i ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS The completion of this dissertation would not have been possible without the insightful guidance and patience of Prof. Maxi Schoeman, my supervisor. I gratefully acknowledge the support I received from Mastory, Mantsekhe and Kholu Masupha, together with Pati Mota, in believing that I would complete this piece of research. Thabo Khoboko, thank you for following up on my progress incessantly, and Mr Henwood, thank you for your support as well. Most importantly, I acknowledge that God’s grace has proved enough in the completion of this dissertation, and His power has been perfect through the challenges of this work. ii ABSTRACT The pursuit of international peace and security continues to lead international actors to pacify conflicts that could potentially evolve into or have already employed violence. In line with this pursuit, international mediation practitioners, Lakhdar Brahimi and Salman Ahmed, have observed seven variables, which they refer to as ‘The seven deadly sins of mediation’, that contribute to ineffective mediation and consequentially jeopardise the quality of the resultant peace.

C'est ce qu'a voulu dire le Vice amiral chef d'escadre Hyppolite Rarison Ramaroson, le plus haut gradé au sein de l'armée malagasy et nouveau vice Premier Ministre chargé des Affaires Étrangères. Ce dernier a fait cette déclaration lors de la passation de service entre lui et le vice premier ministre sortant, Ny Hasina Andriamanjato. Une passation qui s'est déroulée dans la matinée de ce jeudi 25 février 2010, au siège du vice primature à Anosy. L'utilisation de certains mots en français au cours de cette cérémonie n'était certainement pas anodine et visait à faire passer un message à l'Union Africaine et au Groupe International de Contact. Ainsi, le VPM sortant, Ny Hasina Andriamanjato, a expliqué les motifs de sa démission et dit qu'il avait démissionné « pour aider le Président Rajoelina dans sa décision de mettre en place un gouvernement d'union nationale ». Les mots qu'Hyppolite Ramaroson a quant à lui utilisé sont « Marc Ravalomanana s'est auto-putsché ». Un journaliste étranger s'est interrogé sur la signification de ce néologisme que le nouveau responsable des affaires étrangères venait d'inventer.

The military then transferred authority to Rajoelina, who has declared a transitional government.

Rajoelina’s “inauguration” as president of the transitional authority was followed by days of protests by thousands of supporters of Ravalomanana. Several more recent demonstrations have led to violent clashes with security forces. The political uncertainty has strained relations between international donors and Madagascar, which was the first country to sign a U.S. Millennium Challenge Account compact, worth an estimated $110 million. Following coups in Mauritania and Guinea in 2008, the African Union, the United States, and the European Union, among others, warned against an unconstitutional transfer of power on the island nation and have threatened sanctions and a suspension of foreign aid. The African Union and the Southern African Development Community have suspended Madagascar until constitutional order is restored.

They are part of the world’s material heritage, and part of history. Ever more of this postal heritage becomes available online, published by stamp collectors’ organizations, auction houses, commercial stamp shops, online catalogues, and individual collectors. Virtually collecting postage stamps and postal history has recently become a possibility. These working papers about Africa are examples of what can be done. But they are work-in-progress! Everyone who would like to contribute, by sending corrections, additions, and new area studies can do so by sending an email message to the APH editor: Ton Dietz ([email protected]). You are welcome!
