I understand that the ousted pdt has made a serious decision to run away from the country. It justified his non competency to run the country in just way. The new one was just applying the ousted pdt's method to overthrow him so the principle of democracy was undermined. So better forget to seek the ousted pdt's view if you want to have a long-lasting government in the island. The point is that if sovereignty is interfered and forced to put up a forced solution, I would not buy it, and the international community will be in vain.

What you are missing is that when the citizens demonstrationed in support of the president and opposing the coup d' etat on March 28-29, 2009, the same military that refused to suppress the demonstrations in favor of Andry Rajoelina's movement turned on innocent people killing 8 demonstrator's and wound 40 others. These soldiers were paid to support the leaders of the coup d' etat and were then put under orders to suppress any opposition with as much violence as was required. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=01O0wsUeGjM&feature=related These new government has set up a police state and the military are being used as such.
