Andry Rajoelina, who grabbed power in March after he toppled ex-leader Marc Ravalomanana with military backing, saw his attempt to consolidate his leadership of the oil and mineral-producing island rebuffed by opponents. A senior ally of Ravalomanana told Reuters the former president had refused to endorse 35-year-old Rajoelina as president of the planned government of national unity. "If Madagascar wants to remain a democratic state in the eyes of the international community then we must not legitimize the seizing power through popular unrest," Fetison Andrianirina said by telephone. Rajoelina has said he is the only one who can lead the transition. "Up to now we have been unable to reach agreement on who should be president," Andrianirina said. African nations and foreign powers branded the former DJ's rise to power a coup. Both the African Union (AU) and Southern African Development Community (SADC) suspended Madagascar and foreign donors froze aid. Mediators led by former Mozambican president Joaquim Chissano clung to the hope of seeing the Indian Ocean island's power-brokers reach a compromise before the end of the day. "We will give them enough time. But respecting the deadline, we will encourage them to reach a consensus as soon as possible," Chissano said ahead of Wednesday's discussions. Ravalomanana's camp said this appeared optimistic. "I don't think we'll reach a solution today. There are certain stances that remain irreconcilable," said Andrianirina. POWER HUNGRY Rajoelina, Ravalomanana and two former presidents -- Didier Ratsiraka and Albert Zafy -- must nominate a president, a prime minister, three deputy prime ministers and 28 ministers within 30 days of an August 9 deal struck in Mozambique's capital Maputo. In a communique, the AU called on the bitter rivals to place national interests above their own private ambitions. The world's fourth largest island has suffered a turbulent history since independence from France in 1960, with political office commonly associated with corruption and patronage. Continued...
