I think ex-President Ravalomanana ought to just  wait for elections. He 
should keep the pressure on Rajoelina to  perform for the people of Madagascar but 
he should not engage in  demonstrations that will present obstacles to the 
country  returning to normalcy. There were legitimate complaints against  his 
rule (whether he was elected or not) and more citizens were  evidently aversed 
than supported him. The military is part  of the citizenry too and if you take 
their numbers out of the  equation, those citizens who desire Ravalomanana's 
summary  recall were approx. twice those who wished he stayed. Give it up  Ravo. 
Keep the pressure on. But allow Rajo to govern. The  citizens will be able to 
discern your comaparative worths.  Haruna.
Ousted Madagascar leader defiant 

  
Now it is Andry Rajoelina who faces daily  protests against his  rule

Deposed Madagascan President Marc Ravalomanana  has urged supporters to unite 
to save the nation in his first  comments since his overthrow last week.  
In a message sent to a rally in the capital Antananarivo he  described his 
removal from power as a coup.  
He is in Swaziland ahead of next week's meeting by regional  leaders to 
discuss possible sanctions against Madagascar.  
Madagascar's new leader, Andry Rajoelina, has offered  reconciliation talks 
with allies of the ousted leader.  
'Destroying our country'  
In a pre-recorded message played to around 10,000 supporters,  Mr 
Ravalomanana said: "It is up to us, it is up to you, it is up  to me... to save the 
nation, defend the union and our national  unity."  
 
Marc Ravalomanana quit last week after  soldiers stormed his  offices

"Madagascar was on the road to development and now they are  destroying our 
country with their coup."  
The new military-backed government of President Rajoelina,  who is facing 
daily protests and a growing international  backlash against his rise to power, 
said reconciliation talks  were scheduled for 2-3 April.  
Members of Mr Ravalomanana's political party declined to say  if they would 
join the proposed dialogue, Reuters news agency  reports.  
Regional power South Africa said on Wednesday it would  support sanctions 
against Madagascar at Monday's South African  Development Community meeting.  
South African Foreign Minister Nkosazana Dlamini-Zuma told  reporters: "We 
support the non-recognition [of Madagascar], we  support pressure including 
whatever might be agreed, sanctions."   
The African Union has already announced Madagascar's  suspension, while the 
United States and European Union have  described Mr Rajoelina's accession as a 
coup.  
Mr Ravalomanana, 59, resigned as president on 17 March,  clearing the way for 
Mr Rajoelina to take power after a bitter  three-month power struggle during 
which around 100 civilians  died.  
The former disc jockey, 34, who spent nearly two years as  Antananarivo 
mayor, is Africa's youngest president.  
Still six years too young to be president under the current  constitution, he 
has promised new elections within two years  after a new charter is adopted, 
but this has failed to satisfy  donors.
