Southern Africa leaders want Madagascar election bans


Southern African leaders have expressed concern that Madagascar’s deposed president Marc Ravalomanana could stand in the country’s new elections and have also stated that Andry Rajoelina, the man who took power from him, should additionally not stand. The same leaders are calling for an amnesty law from Rajoelina to allow Ravalomanana back into the country; the former president was sentenced to life imprisonment two years ago for his part in the suppression of protests that led up to his removal. 30 people died during those clashes.
