Madagascar Vows to Arrest Exiled Former President Ravalomanana

Madagascar vowed to arrest exiled former President Marc Ravalomanana, who may return to the Indian Ocean island country after an agreement was signed that enables him to travel home.

Ten political groups, including a representative of Ravalomanana, agreed on a so-called roadmap on Sept. 17 that aims to end a 2 ½ year-long political dispute that began when Ravalomanana was ousted by Andry Rajoelina with the support of the nation’s military. The accord leaves Rajoelina in charge until elections are held within a year, Voice of America reported, without citing anyone.
