Ka avelao hiady ao izany ny mercenaires samy vazaha e. Sa ianareo matahotra e?
Aiza re izany e. Ny mercenairesn-ry TGV izany efa eo an-toerana ary mibaribary @
fanamiana miaramila malagasy etsy Mahamasina, ny saina frantsay mitsangana ery
Betongolo sa Andohalo. Ka iza marina no mpivarotra tanindrazana tsy mahalala
menatra? Ny miaramila gasy koa be galona tsy maha tsangana. Rehefa ny frantsay
mody tsy asina resaka, fa rehefa te hiaro-tena ny malagasy dia katsaka
voanjobory.

Araka ny hita @ twitter-n'ny sasany koa dia efa vonona ny Antsatsa, izay sambo
vao vita tao Antsiranana ary afaka manao reconnaissance tsara ihany koa.

> South African mercenaries have been recruited to reinstate deposed Malagasy
president Marc Ravalomanana, security-sector sources have told the Mail &
Guardian.
>
> Ravalomanana has been based at a luxury Sandton hotel since fleeing Madagascar
in March.
>
> Central to the efforts allegedly are two security operatives who participated
in the failed Equatorial Guinea coup attempt five years ago.
>
> Regional bodies have condemned Ravalomanana's unconstitutional ouster and
considered military action, but deferred to the Southern African Development
Community.
>
> The latter, chaired by President Jacob Zuma, said two weeks ago that it
favoured negotiations and called on all parties to "desist from any violent
solutions".
>
> Three sources connected to the local security sector, speaking on condition of
anonymity, told the M&G of the alleged mercenary effort. The M&G also obtained a
weapons procurement list allegedly circulated on behalf of the Ravalomanana
camp.
>
> Information about the alleged recruitment echoes charges by the new Malagasy
regime, headed by former disc jockey and Antananarivo mayor Andry Rajoelina.
>
> Last week Rajoelina was quoted as saying: "There are people who are thirsty
for power; there are people who are even willing to come back to power with
mercenaries. Everyone is talking about it. And that is what Mr Ravalomanana is
busy doing."
>
> Already before Rajoelina's accession to power, his camp made accusations about
South African mercenary support for Ravalomanana. The M&G has confirmed the
presence of three South African "instructors" in Madagascar at the time.
>

> CONTINUES BELOW

>
> On April 1, days after Ravalomanana's departure, police reportedly searched
the compound of QMM, a Rio Tinto-Malagasy joint venture that mines mineral
sands, for mercenaries and weapons caches from South Africa. There were no
reports of an actual find.
>
> The pro-Rajoelina press last month made detailed allegations about a mercenary
force, supposedly numbering several hundred, being recruited under contract to
Ravalomanana by a United States-based private military company and involving
South Africans.
>
> Malagasy security forces went on high alert before the country's Independence
Day celebrations last Friday, when a mercenary strike was feared.
>
> The claims include:
>
>
> Two of the M&G's sources named two private security operatives -- arrested in
Zimbabwe en route to the 2004 Equatorial Guinea coup attempt -- as central to
the Malagasy recruitment effort. We have not published their names, as the
claims are uncorroborated. One source claimed both had participated in a
planning meeting at a lodge outside Pretoria some weeks ago. The other said he
had information about both having been to see Ravalomanana at his Sandton hotel
the week before last.
>
> A third source spoke of people "trying to book an airlift for a collection of
bouncers and thugs to recapture Antananarivo". He named a person with alleged
knowledge of the operation. The M&G spoke to this person, who is politically
well connected but whose name is withheld because the allegations are
uncorroborated. He confirmed having introduced Ravalomanana to South African
politicians but said he had no knowledge of recruitment other than that of
personnel to protect Ravalomanana in South Africa.
>
> A report by a private intelligence operative last month stated: "Rumours of
possible military action are doing the rounds in South Africa ... According to
these reports Ravalomanana has, with some South African former military
elements, been involved in planning a possible retake of the island using South
Africa as a staging point."
>
> A "weapons request" obtained by the M&G lists a requirement for hundreds of
Raptor assault rifles, Truvelo sniper rifles, thousands of grenades and millions
of rounds of ammunition. The list allegedly originated in Swaziland, where
Ravalomanana met King Mswati III days after he was ousted. Raptor and Truvelo
rifles are locally made.The marked men
> When the Malagasy media outed a group of South African "mercenaries" serving
then-president Ravalomanana, they were marked men.
>
> On March 12, with Ravalomanana's grip on power slipping, newspaper La Verité
proclaimed: "The presence of foreign mercenaries on Malagasy soil is no longer
false rumours circulated by the local press. They were at the Place du 13 Mai
last Wednesday, March 4, giving orders to Malagasy officers."
>
> The newspaper named five South Africans who had entered Madagascar as guests
of Ravalomanana's presidency. The newspaper speculated that this constituted
"high treason" on the president's part.
>
> The South African embassy wrote to La Verité in response, defending two of the
men, "diplomat" Mmatlou Moja and helicopter pilot Mathew Beresford-Carter,
pointing out that the former was part of an official South African fact-finding
mission and the latter was employed by a private company on long-term contract
to the Malagasy government. It said it had no knowledge of the remaining three
men. The M&G has established that Moja, the "diplomat", is in fact employed by
the South African Secret Service, which would have had reason to participate in
a fact-finding mission. Beresford-Carter told the M&G this week: "I was there
purely to be a pilot for the president to fly him around ... As far as I'm
concerned I was never a mercenary."
>
> He said that his helicopter was shot at when he was asked to fly an Israeli
and a Russian who inspected incidents of unrest. After he was named in the
media, he had to go into hiding in the South African embassy. He was "smuggled
out" three weeks later, after Ravalomanana was toppled.
>
> The M&G tracked down two of the other men named. Charles Skog, who recruits
security operatives and other professionals to work internationally, confirmed
taking a team of two to Madagascar, on what would have been a "big contract" to
help in riot control and instruct the local military in handling such
situations.
>
> He left for South Africa after a week, after which things went "haywire" and
he had to get his colleagues out. He denied he was a mercenary. "I have
absolutely no interest in red zones."
>
> Skog's colleague, Gerhard de Klerk, told the M&G that after being "branded" a
mercenary, he and his remaining colleague, Werner Erasmus, were advised by
Ravalomanana's government to "get out as a faction of the military was after
us".
>
> De Klerk described attempting to reinforce protection at Ravalomanana's palace
in Antananarivo and private estate south of the capital and to instruct an
"unreceptive" military in riot techniques.
