Communiqué on Madagascar
On March 20, the Peace and Security Council of the African Union adopted the communiqué herein on the political situation in Madagascar. The decision states that: "following the resignation of President Marc Ravalomanana, under pressure from the civilian opposition and the armed forces, the transfer of power was made in violation of the relevant provisions of the Malagasy Constitution, and that the subsequent decisions to confer the Office of the President of the Republic to Mr Andry Rajoelina constitute an unconstitutional change of Government" and moves to suspend Madagascar from the AU.
