马达加斯加四个主要政治派系原定这个星期六在日内瓦就组建权力分享政府举行的会谈计划已被取消。联合国调解人德拉姆星期五告诉记者说,会谈取消的原因是其中一个与会领导人,马达加斯加前总统拉瓦卢马纳纳要求在非洲举行这次会谈。

会谈的目的是解决马达加斯加的政治危机。上个月,现任总统拉乔利纳在军方的支持下推翻拉瓦卢马纳纳政权,由此引发了马达加斯加的政治危机。其他两名前任领导人也参与这次会谈。这四个政治派系上星期达成共识,要组建一个过渡政府,由拉乔利纳担任过渡时期的总统。这个原定星期六举行的会谈就是在此协议上进一步磋商。

Talks on forming a power-sharing government among Madagascar’s four main political factions will not be held Saturday in Geneva as planned.A United Nations mediator, Tiebile Drame, told reporters Friday the meeting was canceled because one of the politicians involved, former President Marc Ravalomanana, demanded it be held in Africa.

The talks are aimed at resolving a political crisis that began last month when Madagascar’s current leader, Andry Rajoelina, overthrew Mr. Ravalomanana with the military’s support. Two other former leaders (Didier Ratsiraka and Albert Zafy) also are involved in the discussions.The four factions reached an agreement last week to form an interim government, with Mr. Rajoelina staying on as president.The meeting scheduled for Saturday was to follow-up on that accord.
