"The Summit urged the Malagasy government, led by H.E. Colonel Michaël Randrianirina, president of the Refoundation movement, to honor its commitment to clear reforms, with a precise timetable, transparent, open to all Malagasy stakeholders and widely disseminated in national languages, to ensure broad participation and acceptance of results by the Malagasy population." This is what Article 7 of the resolutions adopted by SADC following the extraordinary Summit of Heads of State and Government held on June 29, under the auspices of South African President Cyril Ramaphosa, stipulates. A provision that speaks volumes about the evolution of this regional economic organization's position regarding the Transition regime currently in place in Madagascar. Indeed, in the eyes of observers, this terminology is a way for SADC leaders to formalize their non-recognition of the Refoundation regime. On the diplomatic level and in terms of international relations, qualifying a regime as a "movement" constitutes a strong signal, marking a decisive turning point in the future of the current regime. All the more so since, in its communiqué, SADC emphasizes the importance of preserving the rule of law and democratic governance, and underscores the necessity of a return to constitutional order. Furthermore, during this extraordinary Summit, the function of the president of the Refoundation of the Republic of Madagascar was not mentioned anywhere, unlike other participants in the videoconference, composed, among others, of presidents of the Republic, Prime Ministers, ministers and ambassadors. For Madagascar's representative, the communiqué merely mentioned H.E. Col. Michaël Randrianirina. With this position regarding the political situation prevailing in Madagascar, the risk of emerging tension between SADC and the Refoundation regime cannot be ruled out.
