OUSTED Madagascar President Marc Ravalomanana called from South Africa to ask the ministry of foreign affairs to collect him.

As a result, cars were dispatched to pick him up and bring him to Swaziland.
He was with his wife, advisors and security guards. This was said by Principal Secretary in the Ministry of foreign Affairs, Clifford Mamba. 
Mamba said Ravolamanana has not sought asylum, saying he would be in the country for a while. "He will be here for some time because he is happy to be in the Kingdom."
Ravalomanana arrived in the country on Monday. He is here to see Chairman of the TROIKA Organ, His Majesty King Mswati III. This is after a TROIKA meeting held at the Royal Villas last week, which was against his ousting. This week reports in Madagascar are that 10 000 people demonstrated against the removal of Ravalomanana by the army, which is backing new president Andry Rajoelina.
The protesters have called for Ravolamanana's reinstatement, saying his removal was unconstitutional.
Rajoelina took the oath as that country's president on Saturday. Close to 100 people have been killed since the political unrest in that country.

We,the majority of Malagasy people are happy that our President is safe in Swaziland because the new "president" as he calls himself is not able to control the force that he used to have the power!We are struggling now to remove this new dictator from the country.The strike has began and it will be harder until this DJ will give up.He couldn't rule here if the International Community press him to return to the constitutional order;we wish Mr Ravalomanana an happy stay in Swaziland awiting for his reinstatement which will be very soon!We ask again the International community to use sanction against the author of this coup;do not deliver them visa,money and so on like you have done to Mauritania.We ask also Mr Kadhafi not to invite Rajoelina in Lybia otherwise he will be a friend of new dictator.

I am glad that for the moment the true President is safe. We only hope and pray for a peaceful solution soon. The people suffer everyday.

No deaths are acceptable but it should be remembered that the vast majority of people died while looting not as a result of governmental action.

If the blood is on anyone's hand it is on the people to started and backed the coup, namely the French and the ex-dictator, Ratsiraka and his family and friends.

The Almighty God will bless you all and we will never forget this.
For our President,I want to write these few words to tell him that he is our TRUE PRESIDENT!
Thank you!
