Political crisis in Madagascar: The aftermath of the creeping militay coup

I was recently interviewed in mid April 2009 by a U.S.-based TV station called the Ethiopian TV Network.

This hour-long, comprehensive interview was on the current political crisis and updates on recent developments in Madagascar, an island nation found off the coast of Africa. The interview focused on the origins of the conflict; the contending positions and differences between the then-President Marc Ravalomanana and Madagascar's new president, Andry Rajoelina; and the positions SADC, the African Union, the mother colonial country France, the U.S., EU, and other countries took.

In this interview undertaken in Amharic, which is the official and a widely-spoken language in Ethiopia, I forward my ideas as to how to resolve this conflict and restore peace, security, and stability in Madagascar.

The interview was broadcasted globally and had generated feedbacks from Ethiopians across the U.S. and European countries. Enjoy and drop me your comment.
