P6 TA(2009)0392 Madagascar P6_TA(2009)0392 Madagascar European Parliament resolution of 7 May 2009 on the situation in Madagascar The European Parliament, – having regard to the declarations issued by the Presidency on behalf of the European Union on 17 and 20 March 2009, – having regard to the military takeovers in recent months in Mauritania and Guinea-Conakry and the sanctions subsequently imposed by the international community, – having regard to the inaugural consultative meeting of the International Contact Group on Madagascar which took place in Addis Ababa on 30 April 2009, – having regard to Rule 115(5) of its Rules of Procedure, A. whereas, following two months of bitter struggle, an army-backed coup d'état was carried out in Madagascar by Mr Andry Rajoelina, an ex-mayor of the Malagasy capital (Antananarivo), on 17 March 2009, B. whereas a self-proclaimed High Authority of Transition, chaired by Mr Andry Rajoelina, suspended the National Assembly and the Senate and, under pressure from the rebels, the democratically-elected President, Mr Marc Ravalomanana, was forced to leave Madagascar, C. whereas Mr Rajoelina, who had been elected mayor of Antananarivo in December 2007, was forcibly removed by the former government in February 2009, D. whereas public anger was exacerbated by a plan by the former government to lease one million acres of land in the south of the country to a South Korean firm for intensive farming, E. whereas this unconstitutional change of government is yet another serious setback in the democratisation process under way on the African continent, reinforcing concern about the resurgence of the scourge of coups d'état in Africa, as expressed at the 12th Ordinary Session of the Assembly of the African Union held in Addis Ababa from 1 to 4 February 2009, F. whereas the Prime Minister, Mr Manandafy Rakotonirina, who had been appointed by the President-elect, and of another member of his government have been arbitrarily arrested, G. whereas the United Nations Security Council and the international organisations of which Madagascar is a member do not recognise this de facto regime and are calling for constitutional government to be restored, H. whereas Madagascar is suspended from the regional groupings - African Union (AU), Southern African Development Community (SADC) - to which it belongs and from the International Organisation of French-Speaking Countries and the Interparliamentary Union; whereas the European Union, the United States of America, Norway and France have condemned the violation of the rule of law and of the constitutional order represented by the coup d'état and have suspended assistance, I. whereas, within the framework of the Africa-EU Dialogue, the 12th Ministerial Meeting of the African and EU Troikas which took place in Luxembourg on 28 April 2009 called for the rapid holding of national elections and the restoration of the constitutional order, J. whereas peaceful demonstrations involving tens of thousands of people have continued in the capital since the day when Mr Andry Rajoelina was installed as de facto Head of State and have been violently repressed by the Malagasy military forces, K. whereas the restoration of the constitutional order should be based on the following objectives and principles: a clear timetable for the holding of free, fair and transparent elections; the involvement of all the country's political and social stakeholders, including President Marc Ravalomanana and other eminent persons; promotion of a consensus among the Malagasy parties; respect for the Constitution of Madagascar, and compliance with the relevant AU instruments and with Madagascar's international commitments, L. whereas the above-mentioned inaugural consultative meeting of the International Contact Group on Madagascar was attended by representatives of the UN, AU and EU and many regional organisations and countries with the aim of coordinating the efforts of the international community to promote a rapid restoration of the constitutional order in Madagascar, M. whereas the UN has launched an appeal for USD 35 700 000 million in humanitarian aid for the country, in anticipation of food shortages later this year as a result of the disruption caused by the political stand-off, N. whereas the fact that the majority of the population lives on less than one USD a day, and low incomes have curtailed the ability of most households to gain access to food, water and sanitation services, healthcare and education, O. whereas the country has been hit by three consecutives years of drought and poor harvests, soaring food prices and chronic food insecurity, as well as by cyclones, 1. Strongly condemns the coup d'état and all attempts to seize power by undemocratic means; 2. Calls for an immediate restoration of the legal and constitutional order in the country and urges the Malagasy parties to comply fully with the provisions of the Constitution of Madagascar in resolving the crisis; 3. Deplores the suspension of the National Assembly and Senate and calls for their prompt reinstatement, and urges that the mandates and immunities of parliamentarians be respected until new democratic parliamentary elections have been held; 4. Calls on the international community to step up its efforts to bring an end to the political violence in Madagascar; 5. Believes that stability, prosperity and democratic freedoms can be ensured only by means of a consensual and inclusive dialogue process which addresses the root causes of the country's wide range of economic, social, political and environmental problems, which is accepted by all parties and which leads to the direct consultation of the Malagasy people; 6. Calls on all political actors to put good governance and the fight against poverty at the top of their agenda, with the aim of improving wealth distribution and the standard of living of the population by introducing a sound sustainable development policy covering basic healthcare, education, job creation, etc.; 7. Supports the initiatives taken by regional organisations and the AU's decision to establish an operational arm of the International Contact Group on Madagascar in Antananarivo, under the chairmanship of the Special Envoy of the Chairman of the AU Commission, Mr Ablassé Ouedraogo; 8. Calls on the AU's Special Envoy for Madagascar, in cooperation with representatives of the international community in Antananarivo and in the light of the discussions which have already begun under the aegis of the AU and the UN, to make contact with all the Malagasy parties with a view to reaching agreement with them on ways and means of achieving a speedy restoration of the constitutional order; 9. Draws attention to the worsening humanitarian situation in the country, which has been exacerbated by the current political developments, and urges the international community, and the EU in particular, to provide increased humanitarian assistance to alleviate the suffering of the people of Madagascar; 10. Instructs its President to forward this resolution to the Council, the Commission, the Member States, the legitimate authorities of the Republic of Madagascar, the High Authority of Transition, the UN Secretary-General, the AU, the SADC, the European Commission's Humanitarian Aid Office (ECHO), the UN Central Emergency Response Fund and the UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs. .

Mais, à bien y voir, il s’agit de trois jokers pour le premier et d’un atout pour le second.

    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.

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. Days prior to President Ravalomanana’s resignation, the U.S. Ambassador to Madagascar had expressed concern that the country could face civil war; some believe that may still be a possibility. 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.

  • The World Factbook
    The World Factbook Africa :: Madagascar Introduction :: Madagascar Background: Formerly an independent kingdom, Madagascar became a French colony in 1896 but regained independence in 1960. During 1992-93, free presidential and National Assembly elections were held ending 17 years of single-party rule. In 1997, in the second presidential race, Didier RATSIRAKA, the leader during the 1970s and 1980s, was returned to the presidency. The 2001 presidential election was contested between the followers of Didier RATSIRAKA and Marc RAVALOMANANA, nearly causing secession of half of the country. In April 2002, the High Constitutional Court announced RAVALOMANANA the winner. RAVALOMANANA achieved a second term following a landslide victory in the generally free and fair presidential elections of 2006. In early 2009, protests over increasing restrictions on opposition press and activities resulted in RAVALOMANANA handing over power to the military, which then conferred the presidency on the mayor of Antananarivo, Andry RAJOELINA, in what amounted to a coup d'etat. Numerous attempts have been made by regional and international organizations to resolve the subsequent political gridlock by forming a power-sharing government. Madagascar's independent electoral commission and the UN originally planned to hold a presidential election in early May 2013, but postponed the election until late July 2013, due to logistical delays.

  • Madagascar's Political Crisis
    Madagascar’s Political Crisis Lauren Ploch Analyst in African Affairs Nicolas Cook Specialist in African Affairs June 18, 2012 Congressional Research Service 7-5700 www.crs.gov R40448 CRS Report for Congress Prepared for Members and Committees of Congress Madagascar’s Political Crisis Summary Madagascar, an Indian Ocean island country, ranks among the world’s poorest countries, is the world’s fourth largest island and is extremely biologically diverse, with thousands of unique species of flora and fauna. It has experienced political instability since early 2009, initiated by tensions between the country’s last elected president, Marc Ravalomanana, and an opposition movement led by Andry Rajoelina, then the mayor of the capital city, Antananarivo. Mass protests in early 2009 and eventual military support for the ouster of President Ravalomanana culminated in his forced resignation from office. Rajoelina then seized power and, with other leaders, formed an interim self-declared transitional government, the High Transitional Authority (HAT, after its French acronym). Ravalomanana now lives in exile in South Africa. Periodic protests by Ravalomanana supporters after the takeover led to violent clashes with security forces. Negotiations between the parties led to the signing of an agreement in 2009 in Maputo, Mozambique to establish an inclusive, transitional government, but Rajoelina subsequently appointed a cabinet seen to be primarily composed of his own supporters. Southern African leaders and Madagascar’s opposition parties rejected the proposed government, and negotiations resumed. Two later agreements also failed to result in a unified transitional process. The unconstitutional change of power and resulting political impasse have negatively affected economic growth and development efforts and strained Madagascar’s relations with international donors.

The Ambiguous Role of Non-state Actors in the Transition Process: The Case of Benin and Madagascar Kohnert, Dirk Institute of African Affairs, GIGA German Institute of Global and Area Studies 2 June 2004 Online at https://mpra.ub.uni-muenchen.de/977/ MPRA Paper No. 977, posted 01 Dec 2006 UTC VAD-Conference, Discussion Paper; Hannover 2004 - 1 – Dirk Kohnert (1) Are non-state actors better innovators? The ambiguous role of non-state actors in the transition process The case of Benin and Madagascar Abstract The focusing on new rules and institutional innovations by the international donor community corresponds to current academic analyses on “weak” or “failing states” in Africa and elsewhere. However, the concentration on externally induced institutional innovations and on the formal sector of the society tackles only half of the problem. Frequently it even undermines indigenous development capacities. Innovators in the informal sector and the agency of the civil society, embedded in the local socio-cultural setting, but closely linked to transnational social spaces, do often outperform the state's development efforts and international aid. African culture is not inherently good or bad, but under certain conditions its propensity to change and to influence perceptions of power and values can induce important improvements in well-being. Even seemingly static cultural factors as custom, tradition or ethnicity, often said to be barriers to economic growth in Africa, have been invented or adapted to changing requirements of societies. Rather than blaming the failure of development efforts in Africa over the past decades on cultural barriers or traditional minded actors, we should investigate the propensity of African societies to create indigenous innovations, notably within the realm of the informal sector.

  • Histoire Politique De Madagascar
    HISTOIRE POLITIQUE DE MADAGASCAR DE L’ANNEXION FRANCAISE AU DEBUT DU VINGT-ET-UNIEME SIECLE 1895 - 2002 1 Quelques commentaires d’historien Hubert DESCHAMPS Professeur à la Sorbonne, ancien administrateur colonial à Madagascar dans les années 30 Caractéristiques de la vie politique de Madagascar ; dans la préface de « Madagascar, cinquante ans de vie politique : de Ralaimongo à Tsiranana » Alain Spacensky, dépôt légal 2ème trimestre 1970. Pour la ma multiplicité et la confusion des partis, Hubert Deschamps avança trois raisons : · Les 18 tribus : J’ai autrefois critiqué ce terme et montré qu’il s’agissait de peuples et même, plus précisément, d’anciens ensembles historiques, rassemblant chacun des clans d’origines diverses. Il n’en est pas moins vrai que cette division a joué dans l’histoire de l’île un rôle essentiel. Les conquêtes Merina au dix-neuvième siècle ne l’ont pas fait disparaître ; elles ont institué dans les autres tribus, et à degrés divers, un régime colonial. Des répressions atroces, comme celles dont le peuple Antaisaka a été victime sous Ranavalona 1ère, ont laissé des rancœurs. Le secrétaire de la Reine, Raombana, dans son journal secret, en exprima son indignation ; il aurait voulu, au contraire, une politique d’apprivoisement pour créer effectivement à la longue une nation malgache. Andrianampoinimerina, tout en conquérant, avait su amorcer une telle politique. Radama II tenta d’y revenir ; elle fut étranglée avec lui. De là des oppositions entre Merina et Côtiers, que reflètent partis et politique après 1945. · La christianisation : la lutte d’influence entre protestants et catholiques, sans revêtir la virulence du dix-neuvième siècle, se prolonge sous des formes diverses, et notamment par des partis plus ou moins engagés.
