馬達加斯加的塔那那利佛的政權領袖安德里·尼里娜·拉喬伊琳娜（Andry Nirina Rajoelina）仍然是一個奇怪的人，他無視先前與前總統漫長談判中達成的共識，以及上週晚些時候通過軍隊起義上台時流放的現任領導人，他解雇了總理，並任命了王儲。 莫桑比克前總統希薩諾（Chissano）促成了馬普託的會談，拉霍利納（Rajaelina）受到非洲聯盟的強烈壓力-非洲聯盟仍不承認他為國家元首-以及馬達加斯加的發展夥伴簽署該協議，以期舉行大選明年舉行，兩個反對派人士均未當選。
該消息對於這些島嶼的旅遊業而言將是個壞消息。在去年的政治暴力加上全球經濟危機之後，該島的旅遊業陷入了自由落體，但在宣布政治解決之後又開始迎頭趕上。 現在，人們普遍擔心，非盟再次呼籲採取制裁措施，以及對潛在的新的政治暴力行為提出更強有力的反旅行諮詢意見，可能會遏制這一趨勢，並破壞最近幾個月旅遊業所取得的成就。
從這篇文章可以得到什麼：
- Former Mozambique President Chissano had brokered the talks in Maputo, and Rajoelina was under strong pressure from the African Union – which still does not recognize him as head of state – and Madagascar's development partners to sign on to the deal, which was to see elections take place next year with none of the two opposing figures supposed to stand for office.
- Was again the odd man out when he defied the previous consensus reached in lengthy negotiations with former presidents and the incumbent he exiled when taking power through an army revolt, when late last week, he sacked the Prime Minister and appointed a crony in his stead.
- The news will be bad news for the islands' tourism sector, which after the political violence of last year combined with the global economic crisis, had gone into free fall but started to catch up again after the political settlement was announced.
