Please note that France is providing military assistance to the Rajoelina government.

The Consistence left Vohemar on December 3 with rosewood because the local banks involved in previous rosewood trafficking did NOT want to sign export forms anymore. The result was the Chinese mafia had to bring loads of cash by private plane from the capital city to pay the 'export fines/taxes'. But this may soon change. The new bank involved in Madagascar is the BGFI, presented as a Malagasy & Gabonese bank, the acronym meaning Banque Gabonaise et Française Internationale. So we can deduce from this that there is a team composed of France, Gabon & Rajoelina, who knows how to deal with precious timber.

Another aspect worth investigation is 'unofficial support' from the French Government to a French shipping company (known to have current financial problems) doing dirty work for a leader they support – Andry Rajoelina.

Delmas was threatened by a French advisor to Andry Rajoelina: Mr. Patrick Lelou (or Leloup). Andry Rajoelina has a second advisor, an Indian, Mr. Sanjay. Mr Sanjay was Didier Ratsiraka's advisor and left Madagascar at the time Ratsiraka had to leave, and only recently returned to Madagascar from Reunion and Mauritius.

The coup last March was organized from Paris with Didier Ratsiraka's support.

It is clear that this stupid government of Madagascar make commission from these things to run the state.
Last month, 34 milliards Ariary has been collected officially to pay employes' salary
Most of the trafficant are part of the government's body.

It was said that the former PM Monja Roindefo recorded about 80 billions Ar from this business.

A French company, Delmas is able to understand a threat coming from a corrupt French guy with political links like Patrick Leloup. There is a strong lobbying in France from the timber industry anytime people would like to take an action to try to save/preserve natural forests in Africa. As France has always supported Omar Bongo , France does support Didier Ratsiraka and his initiatives, and will do whatever is deemed 'necessary' against Ravalomanana.
To send a container of rosewood from Vohemar to China , Delmas is paid US$ 2,029 per container.

Movements in the fields

Heavy trucks are on the move in the north-east. Long lines of trucks are transporting rosewood from depots in Antalaha to Vohemar, where they will be loaded in Delmas containers before export. Satellite images have already been used to track these movements.

Madagascar forces use tear gas on protesters

Friday, January 8, 2010 12:45 PM EST
Security forces have used tear gas to disperse protesters in Madagascar's capital near the presidential palace.
The demonstrators, who are aligned with three of the country's previous presidents, went to present the country's military-backed leader with a letter Wednesday.

Andry Rajoelina seized power on the Indian Ocean island last year. He recently declared that an internationally-mediated agreement to create a transitional coalition was null and void, and says he will hold elections in March.

The protesters' letter questions whether or not Rajoelina still wants reconciliation.

The African Union has suspended Madagascar until it holds fair and transparent elections.

Madagascar is France's Iraq. First destabilization. Then resource grab. Madagascar's forests will be pillaged and left as gardens for rich French people to visit.
