message: I removed the comparison to Bratt. Seems irrelevant to his political career (and the article in general) and the comment appeared out of context where it was placed.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Thee darcy (talk • contribs) 16:18, 28 January 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: Benjamin Bratt?

message: As most of the residents of the capital Antananrivo I am very concerned about how the president (and the Govt. under his command) is performing in order to seek a solution to the current crisis, keeping in mind that the president himself and his way of governing the country is the cause for the crisis. I share the opinion of the majority of the independant media (this means not directly controlled by himself) in the country that he is not showing any willingness for compromise and not accepting any personal responsibility for the deterioration of the situation. I therefore propse the following edit to his page and look forward any comments on this edit. Proof of the accuracy of this edit can be found in the articles of local newspapers (L'Express de Madagascar, Madagascar Tribune, Midi Madagasikara, La Gazette de la Grande Ile) and in the braodcasted news of local TV stations (Ma TV, TV Plus, RTA) and Radio Stations (Radio Antsiva, Radio Don Bosco).
While Ravalomanana let international mediation efforts in February 2009 fail, he prepared the military with the help of foreign mercenaries. Beginning of March, he contributed to escalating the situation. He abolished the constitutional rights to freedom of assembly and demonstration by declaring all public places used for demonstrations "off limits". With the help of foreign mercenaries the units of the military loyal to him uses brutal force to prevent demonstrations and selects individual citizens, often no demonstrators, to brutalize them. This course of actions is compared by some of the local media to the regime of Robert Mugabe in Zimbabwe, who terrorizes his people to stay in power. On March 7 officers in the largest military camp near Madagascar's capital of Antananarivo have declared refusing to take any more orders from the president. They claimed to deplore the actions taken by the presidental guard and the froeign mercenaries against the malagsy people which undermine the image of the military. They declared to be loyal only the constitutional oath to protect the citizens, not to fight them.
: Ruremich, you have tried several times to add this to the main article. As you concede above, this is your opinion, and thus, without proper cites from respected sources (not blogs) cannot be in the main article. This talk page is only here to improve the main article, and not to discuss Ravalomanana's faults. If you have valid references in the French press, they are acceptable here. For convenience (but not absolutely necessary), a link through google translate might smooth your way. However, any mention of Zimbabwe smacks of POV. Wizzy…☎ 11:21, 10 March 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  handling of the current political crisis 

message: The article doesn't mention the fact that Madagascar has not suffered a single case of the Swine Flu pandemic under his tenure. By effectively coordinating containment with health organizations, he managed to shut down the sea port and eliminate the only source of potential infection. 99.232.219.131 (talk) 22:23, 4 June 2009 (UTC)

thread_title:  where lives he now? 

message: Importemps, I removed the piece you inserted about criticism leveled against Ravalomanana regarding whether he cleaned up the city because as a standalone nugget of information it throws off the neutrality of the article. Of course it makes sense to include criticisms of politicians, but especially when dealing with biographies of living people we have to be careful not to use WP as a forum to amplify the voices of (potentially self-interested) political detractors. The resources I linked above go into detail about what Ravalomanana achieved in cleaning up Tana while he was mayor. Having witnessed Tana's transformation firsthand, I can verify that in this particular case, these criticisms are unfounded and are most likely politically motivated, and that will often be the case concerning politicians. There are many more sources that can confirm what Ravalomanana accomplished as mayor (although they may be in French). So let's hold off on including criticisms until we've done a thorough review of the sources to see how substantiated they are and whether there are reports to the contrary.

replies: text: No worries, I have too noticed that a lot of the info found on the Web is distorted, which often happens in the case of a political clash. About the piece you removed, I inserted it because it was the only piece of content I could find about Tiko (and no sign of Magro or other Tiko-related brands)... Let's keep digging :) Importemps (t) 18:12, 20 June 2012 (UTC)
