It’s so depressing.
If both sides live up to their rhetoric, Madagascar will have two parallel governments, neither of which will be internationally recognised. There is a sense of deja-vu: Rajoelina employed the same strategy as he slowly undermined Ravalomanana’s authority prior to this year’s coup.

If Obama cuts off the AGOA trade deal, 100,000 Malagasy people will be out of a job; I read on Aid Watch that 28,000 of those folks have signed a petition and sent it to him – the comments section of this post is a great read as well.
