Marc Ravalomanana was taken to a military base at Antisiranana a day after ending five years of exile in South Africa and returning to Madagascar without a passport.
His wife Lalao, son Tojo and other family members were permitted to visit him yesterday.

There seems to be some confusion in the government of President Heri Rajoanarimampianini over if and when they will be allowed to leave.
