Madagascar on the verge of civil war, US ambassador warns.
Madagascar is on the verge of civil war, the US ambassador warned yesterday, after soldiers who support an opposition leader ousted the country's army chief.
The move came as opposition leader Andry Rajoelina, who has been locked in a three-month power struggle with President Marc Ravalomanana, said he would boycott peace talks due to start today.
We are not sure what this means for us just yet....The embassy non essential personal (wives & children) are evacuating now because they don't feel comfortable that the Madagascar government will resolve this soon (and they are a bunch of babies).
We will see if they shut the school down and if they do if we can home school, if things get worse we will be sent back to all of you until things calm down. But for now we are safe and don't feel like we are in danger this makes for interesting living, we have never been in this position before but most of our friends have been, and so far they aren't worried.
