Speaking at the SADC Summit, Prof Kula Ishmael
Theletsane, the bloc’s Director of the Organ on Politics,
Defence and Security Affairs, said Madagascar should be
given room to work through its current political challenges
internally. He emphasised that SADC’s overriding interest
is not intervention for its own sake, but securing durable
peace and stability on the island — signalling a preference
for regional patience over immediate outside pressure. The
comments come amid ongoing scrutiny of Madagascar’s
political situation and will likely shape how member states
calibrate their response in the coming weeks.
