Situation was very tense. I heard gunfire on Wednesday near the Colbert Hotel where I was staying. Left on advise of the US Embassy, and glad I did given the developments on Thursday and Friday. My guess is that the stand off will continue as no one wants to risk losing foreign aid. But who knows. I got the impression when I was there that anything was possible Just left Antananarivo on Thursday. Situation was very tense. I heard gunfire on Wednesday near the Colbert Hotel where I was staying.
