BBC: " Down to business in Madagascar". A-giau 18:55, 15 Apr 2005 (UTC)
I removed the comparison to Bratt. Seems irrelevant to his political career (and the article in general) and the comment appeared out of context where it was placed. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Thee darcy ( talk • contribs) 16:18, 28 January 2008 (UTC)
His personal residency is actually in Faravohitra not in Andohalo as stated,
Not true.He attend international match by duty but he is not an avid rugby union.He never attend local competition , even major events.
As most of the residents of the capital Antananrivo I am very concerned about how the president (and the Govt. under his command) is performing in order to seek a solution to the current crisis, keeping in mind that the president himself and his way of governing the country is the cause for the crisis. I share the opinion of the majority of the independant media (this means not directly controlled by himself) in the country that he is not showing any willingness for compromise and not accepting any personal responsibility for the deterioration of the situation. I therefore propse the following edit to his page and look forward any comments on this edit. Proof of the accuracy of this edit can be found in the articles of local newspapers (L'Express de Madagascar, Madagascar Tribune, Midi Madagasikara, La Gazette de la Grande Ile) and in the braodcasted news of local TV stations (Ma TV, TV Plus, RTA) and Radio Stations (Radio Antsiva, Radio Don Bosco).
While Ravalomanana let international mediation efforts in February 2009 fail, he prepared the military with the help of foreign mercenaries. Beginning of March, he contributed to escalating the situation. He abolished the constitutional rights to freedom of assembly and demonstration by declaring all public places used for demonstrations "off limits". With the help of foreign mercenaries the units of the military loyal to him uses brutal force to prevent demonstrations and selects individual citizens, often no demonstrators, to brutalize them. This course of actions is compared by some of the local media to the regime of Robert Mugabe in Zimbabwe, who terrorizes his people to stay in power. On March 7 officers in the largest military camp near Madagascar's capital of Antananarivo have declared refusing to take any more orders from the president. They claimed to deplore the actions taken by the presidental guard and the froeign mercenaries against the malagsy people which undermine the image of the military. They declared to be loyal only the constitutional oath to protect the citizens, not to fight them.

The article doesn't mention the fact that Madagascar has not suffered a single case of the Swine Flu pandemic under his tenure. By effectively coordinating containment with health organizations, he managed to shut down the sea port and eliminate the only source of potential infection. 99.232.219.131 ( talk) 22:23, 4 June 2009 (UTC)

There has been some pro and some con Ravalomanana modifying this page in the past years. I'll try to skim everything that's not NPOV, and copy here everything that I cut from the text in case someone doesn't agree:

Importemps, I removed the piece you inserted about criticism leveled against Ravalomanana regarding whether he cleaned up the city because as a standalone nugget of information it throws off the neutrality of the article. Of course it makes sense to include criticisms of politicians, but especially when dealing with biographies of living people we have to be careful not to use WP as a forum to amplify the voices of (potentially self-interested) political detractors. The resources I linked above go into detail about what Ravalomanana achieved in cleaning up Tana while he was mayor. Having witnessed Tana's transformation firsthand, I can verify that in this particular case, these criticisms are unfounded and are most likely politically motivated, and that will often be the case concerning politicians. There are many more sources that can confirm what Ravalomanana accomplished as mayor (although they may be in French). So let's hold off on including criticisms until we've done a thorough review of the sources to see how substantiated they are and whether there are reports to the contrary.

GA from 2013. Might be a stretch but I feel as if the article hasn't been updated well enough. there's only one sentence for his tenure as mayor of Antananarivo and everything related to the post-presidency section seems really small. Onegreatjoke ( talk) 01:00, 26 January 2024 (UTC)
