CNN: MEDIATORS HOLD CRISIS TALKS ON MADAGASCAR
As gunshots rained over Madagascar’s capital Antananarivo, African Union mediators held an emergency meeting to discuss the power struggle gripping the country. The AU said all members of its Peace and Security group would attend the meeting. Poverty has been a major issue in Madagascar, boosting opposition leader Andry Rajoelina‘s appeal to a segment of the population angered by the behavior of former President Ravalomanana, including his recent purchase of a private jet.
Question to the Blogosphere: Do you think this is the right time for conflict mediation? What are the endemic causes of this crisis? Do you think President Ravalomanana should resign? What do you think it would take to stop the violence in Madagascar? Is there any common ground between the political opponents in the country? Would you risk your life for a change in government, as many are doing in the capital of Madagascar as we speak?
