Madagascar: New government positions not validated by Andry Rajoelina

Albert Zafy, Didier Ratsiraka and Marc Ravalomanana, leaders of the three main Malagasy parties, Tuesday arrived at an agreement on the apportioning of government positions within the transitional government. Leader of the High Transitional Authority, Andry Rajoelina has however not validated the agreement, writes Tribune de Madagascar.. The trio, who met in Maputo, established a list of candidates from their respective parties to join the transitional government in line with the Addis Ababa agreement signed in November. They also agreed to leave several key ministerial positions (Justice, Army, Economy and Industry) to Andry Rajoelina.
