The armed forces are deployed at Madagascan international airport on Saturday to avoid possible political clashes. Three dozens of political parties supporting the High Transitional Authority (HTA) led by Andry Rajoelina have said since Wednesday that they would stage a demonstration at the arrival of the International Contact Group (ICG) in Madagascar. The ICG, composed of special envoys from the United Nations, the African Union, the Southern African Community Development Community (SADC) and the International Organization of French- speaking Countries, were scheduled to hold a meeting on Madagascar on Oct. 6. Some of the ICG members are expected to arrive on Saturday for the meeting to end the discord between former Antananarivo mayor Rajoelina and former presidents Marc Ravalomanana, Didier Ratsiraka and Albert Zafy. Rajoelina's supporters felt humiliated as the SADC banned Rajoelina from speaking at a United Nations session on Sept. 24. Rajoelina was attending the UN international conference on the environment at the time. Protestors said the ban was a violation of Madagascar's sovereignty. No political leaders proposing a demonstration appeared at the Madagascar's international airport Saturday afternoon. Though the armed forces supported Rajoelina in his takeover of presidency on March 21, Col. Richard Ravalomanana, the commander of the Joint Operational Staff in Antananarivo, said firmly on Friday that there would be no distinction between troublemakers. In fear of confrontation with Rajoelina's fanatical supporters at the airport on Saturday, the three anti-Rajoelina political camps canceled at the last minute their plan to go to the airport. They had previously planned to congratulate the ICG efforts to resolve Madagascan issue. Ravalomanana's supporters stepped up their protest on Saturday elsewhere. Given the political crisis, which started in December, several proposals from various forces in the country appeared late this week. The Monima, a political party of the Transitional Prime Minister Monja Roindefo, proposed to continue the national conferences on a new constitution, while denying the ICG's interference in Mdagascar's internal affairs. Two candidates for the 2006 presidential election, including Daniel Rajakoba who received 0.64 percent of vote and Elia Ravelomanantsoa, who received 2.56 percent of vote, proposed to set up the High Transitional Congress and Council, which has the power to appoint the president, vice-president and prime minister of the transition. Midi, a French-language daily, reported on Saturday that Rajoelina proposed a government reshuffle in the coming days to quickly resolve the crisis. Rajoelina is schedule to unveil his final position on Sunday evening. The National Union of Intellectuals for Renewal, an association of Madagascan university professors, said on Friday that the economic recovery was crucial for the moment because Madagascans were currently living in poverty.
