As the political unrest is still the remarkable event in Madagascar, again this new post deals accordingly on political issues that are recently evolved. Not being myself an adept to politics from the beginning, commenting on it has become my favorite pass time. Aftermath the political resolution issued from Maputo I ,many people or group of people or organization have given their opinion upon it , some people even dare to make harsh criticism and some play with words and miscontrue the content of the written agreement to be on their side. Let’s make it clear that those who attended the reconciliation session in Maputo were grown up person, they have agreed on every line of the written resolution by their signature and not implementing it would be considered as a betrayal.
Most of Malagasy people have been expecting that Maputo I is going to end the political issues in our country, unfortunately it is not the case; the political situation is still uncertain as we know that especially Rajoelina’s allies are not agreed with Maputo’s pact. The reason is simple about a quarter of the figures in current power are going to lose their seat arguing that they are the origin of transition and should not being kicked out like that. Thus it would make the current situation more complicated. What we should do is waiting for Maputo II to be fruitful.
Something that attracted my attention this week when I read a mainstream newspaper , I stumbled on a small article arguing that Malagasy political issues are for Madagascan people and we should find out the agreement between ourselves, we don’t need even foreign intervention in this crisis nor foreign help since we are rich enough in natural resources” I was stunned while reading the article .Is that really possible to break up from the rest of the world and live in an isolated way , that is absurd , I said to one of my cousin. Though many foreign countries assist Madagascar in different fields we still occupy the last rank in term of development so bringing foreign assistance into a halt would spark a disaster.
Being independent is a good thing but we cannot split from the rest of world , just take the example of North Korea owing to its nuclear weapon program North Korea is put into isolation .under the administration of the dictator Pyongyang the people suffer from economic recession. He just feed his people’s illusion to the concept of patriotism and daren’t to revolt but when look at people’s life. Many North Korean people are leading miserable life.
All in all, what I am trying to convey is that Madagascar is a country member of the UN and the AU, hence, as an active member we should conform to the resolution proposed to restore peace in our country. Just look how long have we tried to solve this political turmoil but it is still remaining there? But let the united nation do their job and let not discuss any more the decision because we really need peace restored rapidly in order to progress. A lot of madagascan people still hope that Maputo II will bring recovering to the long political unrest in Madagascar.
